Are there more cons then pros stacked up with this type of build and this particular type of car? It's not like we can just throw M/T's on it you know. I own a c6 z06 as well that dishes out 575rwhp without nitrous. But the car manages to take the power right and put most of it down. This car is all over the place with just the stock power when I hammer it. I need some advice. Maybe someone with this build can chime in? I just hi jacked my own thread  |
It happens.
As for the rubber, wider is better, that's why I went with the 295, some go 305 on 10.5" wheels, which is fine too. Also I'm 7AT, so I don't have nearly as much "instant" power as soon as you get on it
so that's a negative.
But as for platform ability, most people have seen the motor handles FI quite well, it's the tranny that gives first... I think it's only rated to 399 TQ?? (Correct me if I'm wrong old wise ones) And of course that's with different uses and drivers specific.
Then there are the tunes, most I believe have a "500hp" tune for fun days or track days, but for daily use will have a safer 400-450hp tune. It all really depends, like anything else as long as you take care of it and have the proper supporting mods, it can be just fine.
