1: outperforming a z06 isn't my goal nor would i spend money with that ambition 2: now your throwingin crap liek "lap after lap day after day" ... that changes everything.... with that mind set a stock prius out performs a f1 race car because it can drive for over a hundred thousand miles with out needing a rebuild 3: yes i understand a z06 base is better than ft86 base... can an FT86 be modded to outperform a z06 in g's, 1/4mile and top speed for less... YES... will it last longer ... no.... will it be as valuable ... no .... will it be unique .. yes |

I would bet that for $25k I could build an '89 Honda Civic that would outperform a stock FR-S/BRZ around a track, autocross course, straight-line, and place better in a car show.

Acceleration, maybe. G's, probably not. Top speed, HAH hell no. You'd need to touch drive ratios, aero, wheels/tires, and brakes for that. The C6 Z06 top speed is 198 mph. Please show me a twin doing anything close to 198 mph. There aren't any unless they're fully built racecars. The automatic's are geared for that tall, but can't handle anywhere near the power required to reach it.

On a side note, who cares if it is RWD or FWD if it is winning? Faster times == Faster times. |

atmospheric is already at one bar. If you are comparing bar as it relates to above atmospheric like in car boosting applications, then you need to basically subtract 14.7 psi. 2.2 bar would be 32 psi minus atmospheric, which is 14.7 at sea level. Jaden |

I have owned a Nismo 350Z, STi, SRT8 Challenger.... For what those cars excelled at...I did not do near enough to justify the high purchase price. That is why I downgraded to a BRZ...and then when my Grandfather decided it was time for him to pass down his 1991 Miata...I downgraded again. Since purchasing the Miata...I realized how great of shape it is (65k miles and in great shape)...so I bought an S/C AW-11. I promise my AW-11 with a $4600 purchase price and another 5k thrown into suspension, wheels/tires and pulleys for the Supercharger will run circles (in AutoX or an short track) around a stock BRZ.... Of course it will not look as good...have a warranty...or be comfy on an interstate...and when stupid shit like the passenger door window actuator goes out (and it did) it will be a pain in the fucking ass to fix it because I cannot locate a part for it. I will still love my AW-11...just as people will love their built Twins. But get real...a built AW-11 is NOT a better car than the Twins because I can go faster in AutoX or accelerate faster etc etc. Just like a built Twin is not better than a Z06 Vette because it is faster in AutoX or course work. BTW I don't want to play this card... But you guys running 15 PSI on a stock bottom end with stock internals...I do look forward to your "Re-Build" threads because we all know that is what is going to happen down the road. BTW I am comfy saying that...because I will have a build thread shortly on my AW-11 and if I get a whole year out of the engine running 13 PSI without needing huge work...I will be happy...so yeah...I am expecting a Re-build thread for myself as well. And that stock Z06 Vette? It will just be better, while its owner's only post is "Hi, I am the new guy" on his/her forums. Also, I get the GM hate...but the Vette is an amazing car (has been for a long time) and the new ones...are stupidly amazing. Go ride in one or let a buddy let you blast it down an on ramp. |
