Our cars are pretty much identical. Same brakes, springs, suspension and probably similar weight now, maybe a couple hundred pounds lighter. I have the HP advantage but you have the TQ advantage. Though I can only fit 245-275's on mine.

I ran my mustang as stated in the previous post. I ran a 2:02 with two big ass dudes in the car (+250) so we were pushing 4000 lbm. It was a "stock GT" obviously since its a car I bought it has all the important options. This was also done with the alignment off the show room floor.
-recaro seats: felt planted. Normally I have to sing h my harness down hard on the vette or else I will use the steering wheel to brace myself in turns which makes you inputs jerky and slow.
-track package: 3.73 gears, upgraded radiator ( the boss unit), brembo front brake (not sure if they have a more aggressive pad or not), upgraded to 19" Pirrelli tire, and the torsen differential.

The 5.0 worked great right out of the box on the track. I was shocked on how much of a difference the differential made. The car really rotates well. I had to tune out some push in my corvette, but the stang turns in no problem. When the budget allows I will be installing one on the Vette.

I didn't mean your new one, didn't you have a '96 or something before the Vette that you use to race?

Oops. My old 96 was a 4.6L 2v with PI heads and a Procharger p1sc. It had KYB adjustable shocks, Eibach sport springs, Steeda chamber kit, maximum Motorsport upper and lower control arms, a panhardbar also from M&M, and 4.10 gears. It would put down about 430 to the wheels for about six months before that peice of shit 2v would explode. It was the first car that I really got to tuning so there were a lot of problems with it. I did some autocross events and ran it one time at the course in firebird raceway. I did do a lot of drag racing with it and some bracket racing at firebird and speedworld. I even did some of my own tuning using EEC tuner. Those were the real crazy days. I actually told myself that I would never buy another Ford again. I guess time heals all.

So my first real taste of road racing was with Formula SAE. We built a car and competed in 2002.

Just saw some more reviews and tests of the C7 Z51. Except for the weird ass turning rev matching on/off with what look exactly like shift paddles, they pretty much knocked it out of the park. Considering that if you bump up interior as well you're still only at $65k~ and Porsche is just considering a reduced base 911 which wouldn't hold a candle to the Z51 for over $70k, I'd say they done good. Real gud. Can't to see where they go for a ZO6 and ZR1 level on the C7 platform.

Ron are you talking about the Cobra? You think it will hang with a C6? Can those cars handle really well?
