sperkins Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 we took his driveline out this past weekend, there was so much hidden illegal stuff I almost had to call the cops!! I was hoping you wouldn't notice due to the fiberglass cloud. Note to self - take a respirator to Mark's house next time we hack up a Corvette with a sawzall and cutoff wheel.

phoenixR34 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 If you guys could just make up your mind about which class the Corvette will actually "take on" at Nationals, some of us BMW owners could finally setup our cars for the big upset. I know I know.. it's hard to find cheater parts with all those Chevy dealers going out of business, but sometime before August would be nice. ::yawn:: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sperkins Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 to dominate they first must show up - didn't see many SE TTers at Natl's this year I think you'll be pleasantly suprised this year. Rumor has it that a few here are actually crazy enough to travel 4,000 miles round trip to steal your precious 2 dollar trophies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbrew8991 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I'd better see some of you jokers there - KB, making the return trip... hoping that TTF makes it this year so he can gun for two trophies with one car (3 if the Enduro Nationals happen!!)

drivinhardz06 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Joe from GA was there flying the SE flag and took TTE save for some massive life altering event in 2010, I plan to be there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenixR34 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Hey, what happened? This thread finally got interesting! Well.. if my TTA Vette was barely faster than a Mini Cooper (re: '09 Nationals results), I'd be out finding ways to make my car faster.. rather than posting in forums all day.

QUASAR Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I've been tempted to run the special "255" A6's in TTB so I can try and take the Mid Ohio records away from one of those M3's. Maybe July... Matt your comment made me go have a look and I beleive the record listed is incorrect and outdated anyways. The date and time listed is from Mark Hopkins' SRT-4 which beat me by a tenth. That was my first TT weekend so i'll never forget it. And in 2009 I think Brian Johnson in that Koni Challenge civic went a touch faster that that. So there's no M3's to hunt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QUASAR Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 It would be a blast to see a 10+ car PTA field with a bunch of spec-ish C5 Z's. We're working towards it here in the SE... Are there guys down there racing PTA C5s already? Or will there be some transitioning from TT going on cause I know that is a popular TT combo down there too.

drivinhardz06 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Or a C6 Z51. Lots of advantages for PTA (against a C5Z) for an LS2 C6Z51... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varkwso Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 you guys say 4,000mi round trip like you think thats soooo far - KB, 3600mi round trip Utah is a long trip for us Southeasters, but as someone mentioned, we did take TTE last year with one entry. It seems one of us is hard to handle - imagine a whole pack . 2012 seems to be more likely to see an increase from the SE - it is about the economy. Jim's hauler was full last year and I expect it will be again this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drivinhardz06 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Or a C6 Z51. Lots of advantages for PTA (against a C5Z) for an LS2 C6Z51... brakes! stiffer chassis by about 2 hz, more rigid spindles, better cf, .3 L bigger displacement with the same heads/cam I have in my 01Z, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Example, 09' T1 championship race. We've seen the C5 Z do well up here in TTA, but I haven't seen a C6 z51 in competition since I've been paying attn to it.
