2700 is not going to happen. Although 2515 is very light and we are very pleased at this point, it is not in driving condition. The car has no glass, seats, roll cage, or entire brake system. All of those will add up to a weight well above 2700. That would be a sick power/weight. We will have to see how close we can get, although we have plans for well over 300whp.

Ha ha I am sure that thing you are working on is going to be a beast to say the least... but glass + seats + cage + brakes = what 3-400 at most... so you guys would have a 2900lb Z - still quite impressive

That's the plan

And see if we can make 350whp

What is this glass you speak of?

Target is 2750 dry, with cage and eveything.

Did you all forget this car was weighed with a full tank of gas which is at least 100lbs right there. Oh, and the OEM tank is coming out too.

Thanks...here is my GT-R vid from Nashville: YouTube - Nashville Redline Track Vid Final

shabarivas · 08-04-2009, 02:03 PM

My my... thats what about 600lbs knocked off... even if you didnt touch the engine / power mods - that should be good for mid 12s w/ a good driver... and I reckon that thats a mighty fun power to weight ratio

hahaha, sorry, I need to stop typing my thoughts out.

But seriously, 800lbs is a ridiculous amount of weight...its 24% off.

How can I be somewhat insightful here...hmm...

At 2515lbs and 332hp it has a power/weight ratio of .13hp/lb or 7.57lb/hp.
That is the same as 290kg/ton.

Cars that are in this range include:

Morgan Aero 8: 4.5s to 60 and 12.7 quarter
Marcos LM500: 4.7s to 60
Ferrari 575 Maranello: 4.2s to 60 and 12.5 quarter
Aston Martin V8 Vantage
AC Cobra 427
2001 Acura NSX V6 4.5 12.9
1993 Dodge Viper RT/10 4.5 13.2
2003 Ford Mustang Cobra SVT 4.5 12.9

So if Forged were to throw a seat and run it at the track, expect something along the lines of a 4.4 0-60 and a 12.5 quarter.

Thats if they didn't add any power....

That's the kind of stuff I like to see

Can't wait to see the results of you guys putting in one of your built blocks with higher compression and forged internals. I think with the gains that have been seen from just installing the Stillen breathing mods and no tune, you guys should have no problem cracking 350whp on this baby with your motor modifications and a custom CBE with a tune/supporting mods. 8500 RPM Redline anyone? What a beast this could be.

Sharif@Forged · 08-04-2009, 09:23 PM

If each of my tech's grab a corner/side we can carry the car around the shop.
