grumpyvette Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 you guys will get a kick out of this thread on the vette site, seems some (Z) kicked a vettes butt and the guys surprised, hell anyone that stupid about power to weight ratios deserves to get beat! http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=381562 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dp351zcar Posted September 7, 2002 Share Posted September 7, 2002 Gee at the bottem of the page it said jump to the C4 forum. So they have a forum on ford transmissions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruxGNZ Posted September 7, 2002 Share Posted September 7, 2002 You know, that's what I love about these Z cars, some people are so clueless about not only the car itself, but what can be done to them... like say *cough* a V-6 3.8 SFI Turbo *cough* !M!

Guest Anonymous Posted September 7, 2002 Share Posted September 7, 2002 At least he wasnt a total ass about it, he lost fair and square. The "rice" comments hurt my feelings though its funny how a car with a few thousand bucks invested in it can stomp a car with thousands more worth of time and money invested in it(not to mention ego. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted September 7, 2002 Share Posted September 7, 2002 Pretty cool story---ypu, he was being pretty honest about getting beat. I wouldn't like the wing, etc, either--that is a matter of taste, but owning a V8Z is a matter of brains. It's like da Grump just said: power to weight ratio.

Guest Anonymous Posted September 7, 2002 Share Posted September 7, 2002 Did not Mr. Grump also express about the V8 Z : "350 hp in a Z is more than any sane person would know what to do with." (or was that 450 hp) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
