Will stock Slobra outrun stock F-Body? - Page 2

stevstum · 12-12-2001, 01:41 PM

02Vert-Hawk You said that the web page in the above says that a WS6 has 345hp. I just went there and it says 335hp. And the Pontiac page says that they only have 310hp. I think you need to get your fax right before you make a claim.

I do love the looks of the WS6. Every time I see one I get an adrinaline (hope that is spelled right) rush. They make me think back to my cousins 78TA with a 6.6l. The above statment was not a flame just an observation.

He is talking about the Firehawk with 345hp. I thought the WS6 only had 325, surprised to see that 335hp mark.

Those ratings are crap anyway. We all know that.

300 rwhp from a stock 6-speed car, add 15 percent for driveline losses, and you get................345!!!!

Rev · 12-12-2001, 06:51 PM

The 345 HP figures are for the Vette with a longitudinal exhaust system. The transverse muffler in the SS and Hawks costs some SAE horsepower. The LS-1's are under rated no matter which configuration you choose. The outfit where I dyno my car (TNT Motorsports) say that the SS Camaros dyno 290-300 hp stock. Thats probably 345 at the flywheel for a 6 speed.

Stock ones usually dont want to race me

we have some s/c ones that run high 11's, but even those are not untouchable.

Nothing is "untouchable" anymore. There are alot of guys and gals out there with the bug for big HP. Hence my name.

We all know most of these "pony war" cars are under-rated anyways. Just like the old days.

02-VertHawk - in response to your inquiry about racing a late-model GT, I think you would win, but may be surprised at how the GT keeps up.

Again, the driver can make or break a race, but all things equal you should win.

Good to have you "F-Body" guys on the board.

Take care,
E

Eric, what are your mods? just curious.

302 LX Eric · 12-19-2001, 10:40 AM

Mods go something like this:

Trick Flow Alum. heads - 65 cc's = ~9.0:1 comp.
Small cam (480/480)
Pulleys
Exhaust
GT-40 intake, 65mm TB, 75 mm MAF
3.55 gear
1.6 roller rockers
And some other small stuff.

The low compression and heavy porting on the exhaust side of the heads is for a future ProCharger.

nice eric, you definately have a mid 12 sec car, better 60' and some steeper gears, and your there.

Snakeman · 12-24-2001, 01:57 AM

Truthfully, I not completely blown away with the acceleration of my car. It seems kinda quick but not what I was hoping for. That's one of the reasons I'm trying to race a late model GT to see if I would have been even more underwhelmed.

Your car is faster than it feels. I have a buddy that has a 98 conv. T/A. I drove it around for a day and he ask what I think of it. I said its real nice but doesn't feel that fast really. I got a 97 Cobra vert a few monthes later and we raced, I had him by half a car up to 70 then he just walked away from me. Both cars were stock and I hadn't quite realized I could run it past 7000rpm at the time.. I may have been able to get a car on him by 70 if I had, but he still would have walked away after that. He took his girl for a ride in my car(without me) and he just said he couldn't believe his car was faster. The ls1 cars 'feel' like a sled but they really come alive on the top end.

I don't know if you were referring to the blowers and strokers, in my last post... I was talking about my stock cobra(if you were). It would be a totally different story with my 89
