600rwhp SC C6 speedo view

Wow. So this is what a supercharger can do. Never seen tach and speedo move so fast. :Q I'm sold.

 

[franksta]

That's impressive, but I can't hear the supercharger.

That is amazing. 2nd gear was a joke and you gotta love 3rd gear, when the speedo and tacho are in sync.

I've talked myself out of a supercharger multiple times. It's around 10K for a solid setup that won't blow up, and that's a lot of money to only play around on the streets. I only have a stock C5 Z06, though.



I think I'll manage.

I don't know anyone personally that's had a supercharger blow up on them

And that's several SC Mustangs, my Jackson SC Prelude, various trucks, etc, etc. Oh and a WS6.

600 horsepower on the street is wasted. Heck, a stock Z06 has what, 505 horsepower already? Adding on the supercharger isn't going to yeild much more usable power and will increase weight and decrease fuel mileage (sad since the Corvette's tend to be some of the more fuel efficient sports cars).

We've got a turbocharger on the WRX (I know it's a different beast) and I'm always trying to keep the RPM's just south of 3000 so that it stays shut off.

I know a guy who melted his Mustang's engine with a supercharger. All you gotta do is run too lean.

Well of course there's always a risk when doing significant aftermarket mod's but you gatta pay to play. YOU need to know what you're doing and know a good shop that knows what they are doing.

Z06 average around 440rwhp. 600rwhp would be too much for my tranny. I'll settle for 500rwhp just to be safe. I'll gladly trade small extra weight for another ~160rwhp. Decrease fuel mileage is negligible as most get similar hwy mileage before and after. It's $5,200 for the kit and another $2k for the install and tune. If I still have this car after my warranty runs out, I want this.

You know, you can buy a bike for $6k that will blow the doors off your WRX and get 48mpg while doing so.

Just sayin'

at 3 seconds he's at 30

at 5 seconds he's at 60

at 9 seconds he's at 100

BTW-at 4 seconds I am doing 60 mph on my bike...from a standstill...just sayin'

Watch it again... he starts at about 20 and creeps up to 25 before he boots it...

I have a bike. Isn't a rocket but it's got some zip (SV650S).

The 1098S hits 60 in ~2.7 seconds...but that's $20K. Don't even wanna think about how fast the 1098R gets there.

 

[bananapeel42]

Stop comparing bikes to cars, it's retarded. Of course a bike is going to be super fast, and I love speed, but it's still a bike and most people don't like increasing their chances of death / injury for that kind of speed.

500rwhp in a vette will beat 600 cc bikes, walk away from an sv650, etc.... sure when you get to super sport liter bikes it's another story.

Meh, I'm a car guy, always have been, but since getting into bikes there aren't many cars that impress me anymore.

And I wouldn't be to sure about a 500hp Vette beating a 600cc sport bike. Top speed? Yes, definitely. But a blast to 60mph from a standstill? No way. They'd probably be pretty close in the 1/4 mile...probably come down to individual skill.

 

[bananapeel42]

a 600CC supersport bike will do mid 11's in the 1/4. A 500 rwhp vette with supporting mods would EASILY hit the 10's. From a roll race the vette would walk away slow and steadily.

A Stock Z06 can do low 11's and it has roughly 430rwhp, so add 70 to that and a 600CC bike shouldn't be an issue at all assuming equal rider / driver.

Don't get me wrong, when a liter bike just blows everythin away like it's stupid it does make cars like the Z06 and Viper look less impressive.

Umm, Cycle World mag did a did a bike test back in '05 and they did a 1/4 in under 10 on a STOCK R6. Only thing they did was use lowering links to fully compress the suspension. '05 R6 is essentially the same bike as the '03, so that's a 5 year old bike you're comparing to times of a current generation car.

So yeah...there goes that arguement...

:laugh: Yeah, those liter bikes will do mid to high 9s at 150mph in the 1/4.

This eats liter bikes for lunch :

But I'm pretty sure that was god-awful expensive to build up.

Pfft, that's nothing, I saw an old Mitsubishi Eclipse do a 6.8 1/4...

Granted, it was probably more drag car than anything now...

There will always be something faster, more expensive, more exotic than what you have...unless your name is Bill Gates of course. :laugh:

I saw that there was a lot of discusion in this forum about my car on streetfire. Thought it would be fun to join in!

What's funny is that the forum started out with just my 600rwhp stock motored street C6 Corvette, and now discussing liter sportbikes vs twin turbo drag setup Vipers! Ha Ha!

But the post above this one is correct, there will alway be someone faster! Always!


I will comment on racing sportbikes though....

A 600cc bike would be no problem beating on the street and thats from a standstill on up. Believe that! I had a 02 LS1 Trans Am WS6 with cam/nitrous at one time making between 550-600rwhp and put a hurt on 600cc bikes, and my Vette has much better aerodynamics and is 300lbs lighter than my TA WS6 was. I did race a R1, with a good rider, in the Trans Am and I did get pulled. Not sure how the Corvette would fair, but I'll find out one day. I do know that all out the Vette would win, because I can reach 200mph and I know for a fact that a stock or bolton liter bike can NOT run much past 175ish. That's actual mph, not indicated, as all sportbikes speedomiters are 8-10% off from the factory...
