My good friend has a HR

We race alot , alot of close races i do have a rev-up with MHFCs and soon to be exhaust but im at her door for the most part. My engine granted is a V2 engine from oil consumption but that has no baring on power my last engine dyno'd 251 i havent dyno'd this engine yet

revup
with a 1/2 spacer mrev2
osirus rev increase to the HRs redline
TD exhaust
lightened flywheel
4.0 gears
crawford headers
haltech tuned
JWT s7 cams
metallic hi flow cats
fluidampr pulley which i plan on getting
good set of pole postions tires

I dont see her standing a chance with a stock HR modded is a different story but the way my car pulls now i dont see it being any problem with those mods to destroy one on the road. Granted money vrs what you have ratio up there but ..i think where kinda delusional to think bolt on DE or revup Zs tuned especailly with ecus like haltech out which cant squeeze out almost everything ya got cannot beat HRs. really lol especially when in the HR forum owners are posting 14.0 time slips. You must not onyl have the engine my friend but the driver aswell.


Everyone knows the HR is the newer better motor but to say DEs or revups dont stand a chance....maybey you should race more. then mag or slip race.

You would be surprised what you can beat because someone cannot drive. I waxed a stillen Z stage 2 the other day and he swore i was running nitrous. I just have a strong motor thats all nothing special and plus stillen SC sucks ballz no top end at all where i walked him preety bad. All in all....until you have vids destroying bolt DEs left and right lets not flap.

Whats the point of having a z06 when your hitting 13. sec time slips lmao.

The whole concept of the Z's external design is about nice FLOWING lines not abrupt increases in elevations where something was once smooth.

First time there was a thread showing the new HR car, the first of the complaints were about the hood and how fugly it is.

As I said, if you guys could retain the same HR improvements but keep a nice clean and smooth-flowing hood, you guys would.

you realize that the 06.5 Z have the same suspension as the 07s and 08s right LMAO and susupension wise beyond spring rates of the previous gens there almost null compared to the previous with disreguard to the nismo Z. Your engine has no merit on maneuvers you think you cannot pull off because of engine difference lmao. The torque on these engines wether it be DE DER OR HR all have sufficient torque to pull of the same manuevers almost identically. We all still have preety much a linear power band, its the way the Z was designed form start from finish in regaurds to the VQ from its french origins.

On the highway, if the HR can pull a few car-lengths over an older Z, that's sufficient difference when you consider merging/overtaking. Yes, the same overtaking can be done with an older Z, but IMO, it was made more comfortable with the HR.

I haven't experianced this for myself but i believe you can stay in 3rd gear up till the end of the quarter mile, but the previous models might have required you to shift to 4th. Again i dont know this is a fact, I just read somewhere that because of the extra high redline, alot less shifting is required in drag racing and autocross.

But some of you can't see the forest because of the trees. Face the facts. The DE is the past and will soon dissappear. The HR is the future, for now.



Um, no. 3rd gear is maxed out somewhere just under 100 mph in the HR. I've had to shift to 4th every single 1/4 run I've made.

BTW, I still like the new hood better and I wouldn't trade it for the old style. Nothing anyone says is going to sway my opinion on that matter.
