Large motor yes, but it is not the displacement that is making 1100hp

American cars > Import pieces of shit.

You wouldn't happen to have a mullet to go along with this, Billy Joe, would you?

Even the enzo?

Now, you KNOW when we say import, we mean Japan, don't even begin to pull off the "Well Euro is still import" because you know **** well we didn't mean anything German or Italian engineered.

Find me a new an 06 import that will smoke an 06 Z06, and I will shutup.

Hooray finally some love for the import crowd.

And about displacement... after you tune a motor so much... there is little else that would produce results other than increasing displacement...the limits of the metal itself comes into play... and increasing displacement increases your potential.

And lets see why you would be hard pressed to find a japanese import that would smoke a z06... well the z06 is built solely for speed... wether it be on the track or on the strip... most all japanese cars are built to be driven.. not showed off like a trophy. and they are built to be driven for years and years and years, and still be affordable...

Oh yeah... american cars are just the fastest sh!t ever created huh? Well lets take a look... how many american cars do you see running in the WRC, or Le Mans, or any other big racing event? Very few to none. Where do you see american cars? On drag strips and NASCAR... Thats right... NASCAR! the redneck sport. There's nothing special about going around in one big circle for 500 laps... try racing a REAL circuit. And about dragstrips... the only reason you see american cars there is that they are simple crap, and nobody wants to tear up a nice car to make it go fast.... i mean, come on...tear up a 70,000 dollar nsx, which could smoke most of your v-8 clunkers, or go have fun with a chevy 350 in a lightweight car.

:threadloc

try racing on a real circuit against a 2006 z06 in an import of your choice. have fun with all that.

Lemans.... Uhmm.. C5R? Didnt you read that Chevy kicked some *** last F1 season...the mustang that Ford just brought out is supposedly kicking some *** on the SCCA circuit...hell even in drifting the 05 Stang just won D1 if I remember correctly

Buy a Donkervoort D8 270RS for around 50,000 GBP and beat the Z06 by 25 seconds around the Nurburgring ...

pWn3d by a 1.8 liter inline 4 ...

is that thing street legal? how about the honda f1 car?

rumors are the blue devil supercharged z06 is doing 7:20s.

and as for wrc, let us not forget the cosworth escort that owned everyone in the 80's and didnt do too bad in the 90s. not sure if they still run them, i dont keep up on wrc.

but back to the point, you get more performance FOR YOUR MONEY by staying american. reliability is a null point because noone knows how well brand new cars will be holding up in 10-15 years.

Chevrolet didn't even compete in F1 last year ...

well that one guy a few pages ago stated something about that. I'm too high to remember tho.

yeah... that looks like it'd be real practical to drive on the street... dumbass

if were going to make retarded comparisons like that we midas well put the Ariel atom with the 300hp k20 block up against the z06, and make the point that the atom can almost keep up with an enzo... i mean because, hey, its street legal afterall

well it looks like jmac has put me in my place and exposed the fact that i dont know shit about cars. ****. and here i thought i built a 400+ horsepower 355 roller with nitrous from the ground up, other than the machining work. must have been someone else who put in my shift kit and differential, exhaust, and burnt the custom prom chip. crap. i guess i'll have to go find someone else to help my friend assemble his 383.

c5r does pretty good in road racing like lemans.... may not do well in the corners like the other cars, but it makes up in the straights....

dragracing american>imports

Road Courses imports>americans

 

[Lil Poot 5,000+ posts]

umm... which japanese cars exactly are owning at lemans? the integra or the civic? europeans own road courses with american cars in a close second, occasionally with a flash of brilliance that owns all. do you have the speed channel?

I cited an article from a magazine and clearly stated it was a 2002 article, as well as pushing the fact that I believe they have kept the record up, but was not sure seeing as how I got the information from an old article //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
