Personally, unless it is a short track where the horsepower advantage is taken away, I don't see it beating a 350. The 350 has a far superior powerband than the 5.0, wider torque curve, and more torque/hp in it's entire workable range on track. Might not have a great 1/4 time in comparison...
They can actually differ quite widely based on the application. If you look at the Cup 2's on the R compared to the PSS on the 350, you'll notice the front and rears are both 1" wider in actual contact patch. But, that doesn't mean they are super wide necessarily, as even the stock Cup 2's...
1. How many miles on your current engine? ~7,300miles (~11,700kms)
2. Have you ever had your engine replaced, and if so why? No
3. Do you frequently track your car? No
4. What is the date of manufacture of your car? 6/2017
5. Have you had any engine mods/upgrades done, OPG's, valves, cams etc...
Has to do with the tires being wider than usual. Odd that you are getting a lot of tramlining on Super Sports though, I would definitely check alignment. When I wore out my Cup 2's I replaced them with Super Sports in 325/30's in both the front and the back, and even though the fronts are a...
In for a rude awakening once he gets out in the real world... try that cocky know it all attitude with some of the craft and he's liable to get punched in the mouth LOL
From day 1 Jamaal Hameedi said that the Voodoo would only ever be placed in a GT350 Mustang, no other version of the car. They also openly talked about how the Voodoo with its inherent vibrational characteristics was cracking the racing headers on the GT350R-C, as those headers do not have the...
Oh boy. You're so wrong on so many fronts, but you're too young and stupid to realize it. You've clearly got some psychological trouble going on, especially when it comes to people or things that you perceive as being better, because you have an unnatural hatred for things higher in rank or...
You can drink whatever coolaid YOU want to, but the fact is none of them are professional drivers. I'm sure many professional racers dream about one day being a journalist for C&D....
Who ever said anything about supercars? I simply said ALL of the bodywork from the A-pillar forward is...
See responses in red....
Considering all of your responses regarding how stupid we all are, I guess you were pretty stupid to not just buy a Camaro 1LE right? It offers identical if not a little better performance than the PP2 and has coolers as standard so it doesn't overheat on track... and...
Sorry man, it's called perspective. Reality is, if you or any other owners were able to truly push the car to its limits, you could duplicate Randy's or beat Randy's laptimes if you think he isn't well versed enough to take seriously, correct? If you can't match his laptimes, hate to break it...
It's so sad to see a response like this.
1. Second hand or not, Randy is better than you are. Period. He sets PRODUCTION CAR LAP RECORDS after taking a car for less than 10 laps. Sorry bucko, if he says its hairy at the limit, his word greater than fanboy on a forum. He can break records in...
This made me laugh. Do you know who Randy is and his resume? He might not be the very best driver in the world, but he is dam good. And it is the same old story with the higher powered Vette's that they just can't put the power down. What is the sense of having over 700+tq if you can't use it...
I haven't driven a Z06, you are correct. You are precisely the "average Joe" I was referring to in my comment you quoted. And as I said, I don't mean to be rude, but you have almost certainly never pushed your car to its limit. You taking your car on a backroad and "pushing it" is literally...
Not true at all. The Z06 simply has too much power for its chassis. The GT350/R, that is not the case. The chassis can handle the power it has and a lot more. Similar cars such as the Viper ACR has been said to be very easy to drive on track and very friendly at the limit, and they have near...
Of all people YOU say this.... LOL you've openly admitted to beating on your cars, redlining cold engines, abusing them in general, but nope no chance its operator error!!
Well, I suppose that would be an acceptable replacement LOL
If I could win the lottery, I would have a V12 Ferrari in my dream garage, preferably an F12 or 812. Amazingly beautiful cars with what I consider to be the very best engines in the world.
Good find, and good to see that someone has at least torn down one failure, that is actually a complete failure. Too bad about his warranty though... what did he expect to happen when getting an aftermarket shop to crack open his engine?
