A C5 would still beat his Z though if the race was more then an 1/8th mile; regardless of launch. From his numbers his Z is about as quick as my car out of the whole and I've raced a few C5's at the track. (including being just beat by one on my 13.4 run)




Thanks guys, I was talking about the z. Pay attention to the tense of the sentence demon. You are right, me beating a C5 in the probe is about as believable as you beating one in your contour. Does everyone believe the crap you shovel, because you have been shovelling enough to build a crap hut to park your C5 eater in.
Closer to believable? You consistantly trash everyone elses statements, jumping on them as quick as you talk. I don't know why, sounds like you have a complex. Maybe you raced a honda minivan last week and lost. Closer to believable....? A C5 would still beat my z? Give me a break man. I just stated in my post that I've ran a few and beat them. I've beaten a friend's 4 or 5 times, and I had a horizontally challenged passenger. Streetlight stop, freeway drag...doesn't matter.
The z is about as quick as your car? Gee thanks. If it isn't you must be running at turbo or at least a 100 shot of nitrous. My 0-60 times of 4.6-5.5 are based on a g-tech reading with rather worn and soft yokohamas, no drag racing radials, usually lots of wheelspin, sometimes right into 3rd gear, and a 3 year old clutch that likes to slip once and awhile. (the old zs are very light in the rear). The faster times coming with the least wheelspin. I can hardly get out of first without putting the car sideways under full throttle. And seeing as how you race once and awhile you would know the difference between 4.6 s and 5.5 s (your time) can be a few car lenghts.
Guy, you need to read up a little on 3.1 L stroker z motors....
The 2.4L race prepped datsun motors were putting out 250hp, and that is with strict race engine specs and two carbs. A 3.l L with tripple 50 webbers (biggest you can get) like mine, race cam, electronic timing and strait exhaust is pushing at least 300hp....some are close to 400 with no turbos. And that is conservative. When I had mine dynoed it was with the dual SU carbs a milder autocross cam. 285 hp at the wheels in a 2700 lb car. It is at least 20-30 hp over that now based on the changes to the motor since then, at least.
funny thing, arguing with you or anyone was the last thing on my mind when the post started...its snapper heads like you that really turn people off these boards.
Ok, now is where you disect my post to bits because you have nothing better to do...
