RIPSNZ Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 If I read the slips right, the TTV8 car was still faster AND quicker than Rips, just that the driver was sleeping at the lights and got eliminated because of that. 1+ second RT is SLOW. Sorry, but you did not read the slips right (I'm car 113), I was quicker out of the hole than the TT V8 on all of the runs, he did run a fraction "quicker" on 1 run but never "faster" and I won all 3 races (runs 4, 5 and 6) Runs 1, 2 and 3 were practice runs and I didn't pay alot of attention to RT as we were trying out the transbrake at different boosts.

Challenger Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 If you really think about it, the 60 ft in the burnout launch is probably faster than most Z's on this site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_hunt Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I don't believe Chris Chow is "fastest" or "quickest" anymore, IIRC there's a few stock suspension mustangs running mid 7s. It was just an example of a TTv8 car that's faster. If you really think about it, the 60 ft in the burnout launch is probably faster than most Z's on this site. The RB's sound oh, so good!

Gollum Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 you tease! I was just getting into it . . . Ditto. He started talking about the better torque curve the RB30 gives him over the RB26 and I thought "aww, a man after my own heart, he understands power under the curve" and then the video cut out... sad. Awesome car no doubt. I'd love to see what it could put down once everything comes together for that perfect run (or close to it at least).

jgkurz Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Here's a car that got a lot of recognition lately for being a 7 sec street car. Personally I like Rob's Z better.... http://tinyurl.com/2n7xfg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZeder Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Here's a car that got a lot of recognition lately for being a 7 sec street car. Personally I like Rob's Z better.... http://tinyurl.com/2n7xfg Nice but not really a street car. I mean this by the fact that it is not running stock front end setup = modified from stock with tubed front end. Look at the R.I.P.S car and it is still a stock 240z from the seats forward - ie the diff setup is not stock but then non of the fast drag cars street or otherwise they are all (or just about all) tubed with a custom live axle setup. Now if Rob was to do this to the front of the zed then add some lexan to replace glass, then add some FG panels to get the weight down from the 1340kg it is at now then it would be quicker and as Rob has stated they still have trans issues to sort before they get near the potential the car has even in its current format.
