the calloway twin turbo set up on the corvettes..

im in love..

any body had the luck of having a spin in one of these??

apartenly

any corvette 1991 downwards as long as its not the LT1 motor can be turbo charged with out an issues

....

and with a 12.9 sec run @ 111mph

that would be some serious fun

american's luv their vettes thats for sure..and so many power upgrades. Imagine how quick it would spool up to with the big block..

I used to like them, but seeing some of the older ones on the road these days and even sat in one at a dealer.. not really that impressed. They look pretty old and dated.

A new one of course would be a total different story.

im actually going to go see a 1991 vette this saturday

take it for a test drive

im tempted to get one..

The Z06 will continue to be outfitted with the unique six-speed manual transmission for 2002. It will enable skilled drivers to achieve 0-60 mph times of 3.9 seconds and to cover a quarter mile in 12.4 seconds at 116 mph.

nasty...almost makes a GTR look slow!

[Zdenko]

yehhh

the one im gonna test

should be some fun

5.7 L

6 speed manual

and the best part about it

u can get the bolt on twin turbo kits for about 4G;s

that would be veryyy much fun

veryy muchhh

[predator]

haha

look at dis.. not bad...not bad.. i wouldn't say no

[YRL05S]

There was a model called the "Callaway Sledgehammer" with a top speed over 400km/h. It was a light metallic green with blue leather interior. From memory it was a convertible too.

[Zdenko]

the callaway come out twin turbo

they started making em i think in 1985-1991

gotta love em

[predator]

[Horus]

meh, vettes are a waste of time and handle like shit

If u put 10k into a 34 GTR it would smoke that vette easy

[Zdenko]

u recon if u put 10 grand into a 350???

i recon it would be pretty god damn close.....

that 12.9 was just the bolt on adition to the vette made by callaway

imagine if u started playing with the 350...

would be interesting

i would put money down on the vette to win

[Horus]

yer, but I was talking about the 34 GTR Skyline

[Zdenko]

thats fair enough i guess u can make any car go fast with 10 grand worth of mod's

but the fact is

most of the 7sec cars even the top fuelers

they r all big block 8s if not big block they r 350s.. u never see much 5 sec 2.6L

at the end of the day

no matter how much boost u run..

its cubic inchs that will get u the power if ur after a FULLY SICKKKK ANIMAL ahhaha

[inark]

whats so special about that? bad arse horsepower is the 5000HP road registered 56 chevy that hoit rod guy has... or the Twin Turbo 7.2 Litre that is being built at the moment.

[Zdenko]

yeah but that sort of bad arsecant be parked in my drive way hahah

[inark]

those engines r only good for full throttle and in a straight line.

has no relevance to a street car

zdenko,

is the 91 vette a C4? my old man has an 86 C4 which i think is the same shape and engine and everything as the 91. Goes VERY hard and looks the goods i don't care what anyone says!

Check out the ZR-1 corvette which was a 91-only model that is suped up from the factory and is a bloody beast over the normal vettes (which are beasts anyway!).

Ive sat in a C5 vette and of course my dad's and i prefer the C4 shape and the interior.

thought this seemed relevant...

Waz.

[Zdenko]

yeh

i love the c4

only problem being it doesnt have the power over da c5 which have the LT1 motors in em

bad point of those motors

compresion to high

to much hassel turboing em

so the c4 looks like the way to go..

i love them

allways been a dream car of mine

i loveee emmm

hahah

is ur dads manual or auto?

what do they do on the 1/4 mile?? any ideaS?

[WazR32GTSt]

dad's is auto and stock 0-100 is 5.6sec

but he got a chip for $350 when he went to america last year! don;t know quarter but i would expect high 13s or low 14s

do u know of the ZR-1 vette? check this out before you buy anything coz its probably as quick at the TT one...
