the 4.9 second challenge

[stocky]

me and greenfoam have created a challenge. we want to see who can hit the 0-60mph in 4.9 or less seconds first, and maybe give an idea of the costs involved in reaching it. im sure we will both update this thread with every new mod or tune we run. we also want to know of any of VN-VS commodores that have done it. feel free to post any comments, and join the race if you like

cant wait to see others results

[Cursed CX8]

hummm

My v6 = not going to make that time

Me = Gonna try it anyways

Last result = 0-100 in 7.5

[greenfoam]

I suggest this challenge ends first day of 2009, should give me enough time to make it

[stocky]

new years sounds good, considering im lazy with these mods

[johnvtls1]

0-60- 6.73 charger might get me close??

[stocky]

at the moment weve put down vn-vr, since the l67 is in the vs and thats a bit unfair . im sure we can make vs exceptions though

[johnvtls1]

maybe u guys should be doing it with added weight then lol u know just to make it fair haha

[burnz]

i can see you two bloke's ripping the interior's out the seat's, sound proofing, undie's, bowl movement's ect,ect.

Oh yeah, righto, end it just before I can afford my LS1. Go on. >_>

i thought foam was down to 5.37s in the mighty VP. maybe both greenfoam and stocky (as well as any other willing participants) need to give a basic list of mods for the times they have achieved already as neither of these cars are exactly "factory spec" anymore

[blueholden]

how are yous having this timed ?

yeah but foam told me to change it to 5.55 because that what he is running at the moment. good idea, ill probably update my first post a bit to include that

how are yous having this timed ?

g-tech

[Wagon_Wheel]

You guys are gay...... start a challenge right when everything is going bad with my car.
Best time was still 6.11, but i still never got around to doing a run after the tune.
But hopefully whenever it is the cam/heads and diff are done, then i will get a lil closer.
But still no were near 4.9
Cars too heavy for that lol.
Also why exclude me cause i drive a VS... bastards!!!

[Emackulation]

I can do it on the back of a tow truck....wont get close though...

[minux]

How do we prove it? Can i do a screenshot somehow lol?

bah VN-VS only

ok VS can be included. im curious to see how quick the l67 vs's can go anyway

How do we prove it? Can i do a screenshot somehow lol?

bah VN-VS only

just take a photo of the gtech flashing the time at the end of the run i guess. or record a video.

[immortality]

so foam finally has his T5 box in the car?

[Reaper]

Hmmmm..... 5.9 atm. I have a *lot* of work to do. Sigh.... I guess the drivers seat is all that will be going back into the VP for a bit

I can send the graphs and data files for my g-tech.

[blueholden]

lol can i try in my 1.6ltr

[stocky]

yeah its surprising the amount of work i think ill need to get an extra second off. when i compare mine to luke's old VP running the same as mine, he was running 5.11 seconds. his had a bigger exhaust, higher boost, a good engine, 3.45 spooled diff, 5 speed manual, and probably a better tune. all that got one second quicker than mine. ive got a lot of work to get 4.9

[stocky]

so foam finally has his T5 box in the car?

hmm i thought his was manual apparently not lol

[PaRaDoX]

Paradox -
VP SS V8- 4 speed auto+ corvette servo
IRS, LSD, 276 cam, custom tuned, 3.08 diff gears, single 2.5" zorst
Current Time - 5.9 seconds est from 1/8

i plan on going to calder once my super secrets exhaust is done and once the heads come off...


id be intrested to see if we can get a bunch of us down to calder one night to prove times :P
ive only ever raced at the track when its been 35deg +

[immortality]

hmm i thought his was manual apparently not lol

nope his is auto with a corvette servo. although i know he has a V6 T5 box sitting around just waiting to go in when he gets around to it.

thats what i must have got confused by. i wonder if we should post up what we plan on doing to our cars to get them faster, or just post them when theyre done and post results
