This comment is a little off the wall, but I really like the Persimmon/Brilliant Silver combo.

what can I say..it was simply a blast to ride so we both had a good chat and laugh during the ride....to me thats what makes the car fun ..trust me this car doesnt have to be driven anywhere near even 7/10ths of its capabilities to have this much fun and yes much more is there!

I know it might be an odd thing to ask, but, fuel economy? I mean, does that go in the crapper with this, or, does it stay pretty close?

As with all turbo cars, that depends on your right foot.

Any guess what the 0 to 60 is? Also... Can it throw you in the back seat like a corvette z06?

bullitt5897 07-28-2013 10:36 AM

Approximate 0-60 times based on our curb weight.
500hp: 3.42sec
600hp: 3.00sec
700hp: 2.67sec
800hp: 2.4sec
1000hp: 2.0sec

And yes it will throw you in the back of the seat. Tape a dollar bill to the dash and have your passenger try to grab it... I love that game!!!

0-60 is not going to be a dramatic difference from stock. There's only so much traction to be had. It's not going to have the same push in the back of a 427 like the Z06, but that's to be expected. There's a pretty good push as you get up to full boost, and then it just pulls and pulls to redline. And damn, this is an old thread.

All of this depends on torque and traction...

Of course. There's just not a lot of traction to be had on street tires. A 275 can only do so much.

roplusbee 07-28-2013 06:31 PM

Resurrect much? Agreed on street tires, but that can be mitigated with proper setup and modulation of the feet..............

Race Logic Traction control is your friend with a proper suspension and tire set up.

elperuano 07-31-2013 10:49 PM

Drag radials, better suspension anything but cutting off power!!! Lol

If only you lived in the North East one ride in my car and you would be sold. I have the system set where I have to still modulate the throttle or the rear end will still break loose slightly. The Race Logic system allow you to adjust how much you want the wheels to slip. So if you want it be tail happy like the traction control is not there you can.


Of course stickier tires also help and just make it a better overall experience.
