Cobra4B Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 personally I would just LSX the RX8. same power from an LS6 and flat TQ. and you can do all your sessions, vice fiddling with a broken rotary in the pits. also 2851lbs is a lot of weight for 275's. considering the C5 mafia is on 315s or 335's with only a few hundred more pounds, and the turbo or V8 miatas are on the same 275's and a few hundred pounds less. I like the boost bleed idea though. tune for a flat power curve. 350HP at every RPM. DAGUM. the rally cars do this dont they? What are you talking about? I held the VIR TTA record for a year on 245s. The biggest any of us go is 275s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the 10" tire stuff (275) but the 245's were a significant drop in grip and braking. I am pretty confident I could have run VIR last Oct faster on 275s.

brkntrxn Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 I have NEVER competed on anything but 275s. I would love to run something bigger. Lap record at Charlotte is on 275s. My NASCAR neighbors think I am crazy that I run such a skinny tire on a heavy car there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bnjmn Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 What outsiders may not understand is that the 275 is a compromise choice, leading to (usually) the fastest setup, under a given set of rules. It is not the ideal choice (usually). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brkntrxn Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Without giving away too many secrets. What is the ideal setup c5 Z06 for TT3 We have yet to figure that out. The upper limits of the class has yet to be spent. There are a few that have thrown $10k at their TTA/PTA cars and are still in development.

Greyman09 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 I just purchased a 2004 z06. Just need some direction on setup. Don't want to buy twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bnjmn Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 If it is unmodified and you are looking for a track car, you should immediately sell the stock car and buy someone's used track car with a good known history. You will be "buying twice" once you are done modifying your existing car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra4B Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Without giving away too many secrets. What is the ideal setup c5 Z06 for TT3 big wallet You're not supposed to scare away the people dumb enough to build cars from scratch and bolster car counts Greyman09 - I started with a clean street car and wouldn't do it any other way. Most used racecars need a bunch of re-work or upkeep to be right. I prefer to start with a blank canvas and do everything my way. Ideal setup depends on if you want to keep the car streetable and if you have a truck/trailer or not. First steps would be to gut the car, add a good racing seat and harnesses and some Hoosiers. Adjust from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Terry, I think your on to something with the C6 idea. Think gran sport. its the Z06 widebody that can stuff 345's under it, weights in at 3300lbs, and has the LS3, which puts 385ish at the wheels in stock trim. ~3500lbs/385whp = 9.09. add pimp suspension and stir around track. that would be a killer recipe. I keep sending my wife Craigslist ads showing C6 coupes that are getting ridiculously cheap, but she won't hear it. "Women"... Instead we just keep throwing more tire and more downforce on the big red pig. Well, now it is the multi-colored pig. TT3 for the '13 Nationals looks interesting: 12 entries so far with 3 corvettes, 2 Mustangs, an EVO, and 6 BMWs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 its hard to beat balanced weight on double wishbone suspension (vs struts), a slippery body, and fenders wide enough for 315/335 tires. And anywhere from 5-10 idiots frantically developing them while sharing all (most) of the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drivinhardz06 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 If you had a big budget, I think it would be pretty hard to beat a well developed GTR. The big hp classes are the sexy ones, and most guys just couldn't bring themselves to detune one that much, but done right, it would be hard to beat.
