formula forever

it all started like this. im driving home from work around 11.00 at night. i get to this red light and with no one around this vett pulls up. it was the right time no one in sight. he reved is engine at me i look over its a guy in a suit and tie. i nod my head and wait for the green. i knew i was going to lose but i wanted to see how i do vs a 2006 corvette. SO the light turns green we both hit it i got him of the line for about 5 seconds then he past me up. i was very happy i thought he was going to get me off the line.

I believe it L98 cars are kings of the short stoplights. I used to dust LS1 vettes and F-bods in my bolt on only 90 GTA and 90 vette. Dragradials, converter, catback, should be enough for a stong running L98 to take a C6 at a light. I haven't ran up against one yet in my Formy, but the look on a $50k Vette drivers face especially if their with a wife/GF getting beat at a light from a 15 year old $3500(with mods) Firebird gonna be priceless.

How would an L98 do against this car off the line?

Bugatti Veyron take off

cactusjack0053

i'm afraid i wouldn't get mine close enough to find out, might just suck my poor iroc up the tail pipe

C6matt

Why would it be priceless... If im in my C6 and get toasted I dont look any diffrent than in my z28..or my g/f's 98 ws6... I had an iroc at 16 that was all of 8 years ago...(88 tbi auto car) trust me, I didnt buy a vetter cuz it was the cheapest way to go fast... I would of bought a third gen or a older Rx7 and shoved a big block in it and been way faster... I do enjoy the reliabilty and no-fuss power while pulling down 25 MPG...
I'm just saying there seems to be some predjuice on the drivers of vettes on the board... if I was me in my vette I would give props to the work done on the third gen... not wonder why my shiny ***** got beaten by a cheaper car... money does not allways equal speed... buy a h1 if you need proof of that

I wonder what the times are on that badboy. Whew.

i believe the bugatti does 0-60 in about 2.1 seconds...

mean57

yeah thats what i call "crazy fast".
i don't think i've seen one of those drivin down the road yet.

formula forever

i have headers catback system highflow cat moroso ignition system and that about it. I wish i had drag slicks on at the time but it my daily driver so I guess not. that was the first corvette i ever when up against

89TPI350

I would be willing to bet that if you put a 100$ bill on the dash that your passenger would not be able to touch it under acceleration like that! I would doubt that any of us will ever see a bugatti veyron on the streets because they are over a million bucks

sasser43

Im sure he wasn't talking about anyone that knows about cars. But a lot of old men get those cars just b.c theyre suppose to be king of the road, and then they get out there, and something as old looking as a IROC starts beating them. The look of dissappointment is pricless.

You wouldn't have to touch it because it would fly back and smack you on your face!

yeah it probably would huh?

Here's a few specs on that Bugatti:

At the moment, the Bugatti Veyron appears to have it all:
A W-16 engine that can produce 1,001 horsepower
A top speed of 250+ mph (400+ kph)
A zero-to-60 time of three seconds
A zero-to-180 time of 14 seconds
A price tag somewhere in the $1.2 million range.

How would a S2000 do againts it?

mean57

side by side launch of that bugatti and a s2000?
the s2000 would look like it was going backwards.

F&Ybodlover

Do against the Formula or Bugatti? If your talking about the Formula, I raced a friends Honda S2000 back in 00, with my 90 5.7 GTA with the SLP package. He just traded his 99 Vette for it. We raced from a roll twice, I toasted him right away and put a few cars on him so fast, waved and heard his motor screaming to 9krpm, it was one of my most memorable races with that car, He wasn't to happy. If you want to know how the Honda would do against the Bugatti, you picked the right user name and are to even ask.

That's kind of funny. This is the first sign of intelligence I've ever seen out of you.

the vette driver must have been drunk. my 06 vette will smoke my 89 iroc with 383, auto, 3:73 rear.

TPI

I can assure you,

The L98 standing a chance off the line is not far-fetched.
I dont know what else you have done to your IROC
383/auto/3.73 car .. BUT, I hope your C6 aint stock,
because 06's arent untouchable ...

...And every dog has its day

nick418

I believe that a healthy L98 can take a LSx off the line with a good launch. Its believable......

opps

TPI

Ill go even farther than that,

I believe a properly built L98 can run a LSx not just off the line,
But if you get him good enough, you could have the whole race

BigWhiteGTP

Don't under estimate the low end power of the TPI. <----Darth Vader voice.

I love my TPi car and all, but aren't the LS2's torque monsters compared to LS1s? They put down over 360lbs to the wheels. Which is a bit more than an L98. Of course I don't know at which RPm that occurs, but I'm still skeptical about even an intersection race.

TPI, where in southern AZ do you live?

nick418

LS1 and LS2 yea y not... But LS7 hell No LOL. To bad TPI CHOKES

TPI

Im over in Mesa/Tempe area
Oh dam, Your in chandler, Im close to you indeed

Havent I PM'd you before?

Yea, Im not too sure what a Modified L98 can do against a LS2, but I wouldnt rule out anybody's build .. Ive seen stout L98 Iroc and T/A cars out here at speedworld runnin' consistent 12's ..

I believe that might be enough to give a LS2 a run
for its money.. but you never know, that's what makes it fun

ThirdGenLS1

A L98 might stay with a ls2 for a second off the line but once he gets above 3500 rpms or so, say good buy.

I've been trying to get this guy (in his mid 20's) who just bought a 06 Vette to go with me, but all he does is laugh at me. Maybe one of these days he'll go for it so i can finaly have the laugh

freestylzz

Yes, that is true.
----------
Yes,stock L98. Modified L98 is a different story (depending on the mods).

ThirdGenLS1

well anything modded is a different story but you're going to have to have to have quit a few mods keep up. Its going to take quit a few mods to keep up with 350ish to the ground in a lighter car.
