Hey, guys, been working solid lately. On Vacation, now. Now about HP numbers: Kind of stings a bit, Uprev had ziltch for me, so I am going to Houston this next week and placing the Z on a Dyno. Let 'er rip. Hopefully have some cold hard facts to show. Place is called Carboy on Westheimer Drive in Houston. Going in with stock exhaust system, carbs and headers. I don't have the fancy stuff RCZ has. But I do have a custom tune which seems to me very impressive. I was told the SC is ok with the stock 2.5" exhaust I have, only if I don't like the sound. The SC is running well right now. Changed out the Vortech fluid as recommended at 2500 miles. Next interval is 7500. It seems that the more miles I put on it, the "smoother" it is getting. The blower still rattles a bit at idle. The signature "whistle" is neglible at normal highway speeds. I can't hear it. I finally broke the tires loose with VDC/Traction control ON today doing a turn onto a nice straightway. Felt great. The 7 speed Auto is just so fast! Forget it in Manual, I'm too slow. The Z is still smooth when passing somebody. I love that about this car. Just a slight depress on the accelerator and in a heartbeat, I'm in front! So much power here, I don't have to step on it at all. Oh, yeah and in a 25 mph headwind! I gotta tell you the Z drives far better than other cars (ok, especially the cube). Stiffer steering, finer control in the curves and low center of gravity. Oh and gas mileage has improved, too. Getting an extra 4-5 miles to the gallon. Averaging 30 mpg driving 70, for a fair number. So, yeah I have a happy ending to this story right now. Hope everyone gets theirs! Buzz |
