i started on a car that needed work that was already 12 years old and had already seen more than 1 engine and 2 transmissions. :P Also I'm getting older and I want a house and paying off my medical bills for my cancer is a bit more important than finishing my build on my FR-S. but hopefully at some point i will start a build thread

I dunno about $55k, but with $15k put into the car, pushing it towards a used cayman/M3 price category, the performance parts that could be obtained are (assuming you do all the work):
this is my wish list btw (total price of $14,600). innovate SC kit ($5000) Ohlins R&T ($3100) Essex AP racing endurance brake kit ($2500) high quality wheels and tires ($4000) I think with this set up you should be able to hit: close to 250whp, 1g cornering capabilities, and less than 110ft braking from 60mph. if the car makes 250whp (300@crank hp considering 15% drivetrain loss for comparison sake), and weighs the advertised 2700lbs (+70lbs for the supercharger kit), the power to weight ratio would roughly be a 9.2, compared to an e92 M3 at 414hp and 3500lbs (pwr of 8.4) and a 2009 cayman s at 320hp at 3100lbs (pwr of 9.6). but the Z06, along with OEM reliability, etc... just the performance numbers (if we`re not talking about steering feel, etc the emotional bits) is staggering. 505hp at 3524lbs, the PWR is a 6.9. it stops from 60mph in just 93ft (compared to Crawford BRZ`s 106ft even equipped with BBK). none of it matters because I prefer the precise feel of the BRZ and that is something that does not show up in numbers or any chart, but if you wanna play just the numbers game, Corvette is undoubtedly good value for money.

but to get back on track the new vette is superior in every way to the twins i got a twin because i can park it basically anywhere around where i live and dont have to worry about it getting broken into But in a realistic comparison FOR THE MONEY there isnt much you have to do to either car to enhance the drive because both are well engineered from factory. instead of modifying a twin to be as good as a vette, just buy the vette! Personally my build will consist of a built FA20 at stock compression with a supercharger thats carb approved with all the suspension bits to support and compliment to bump in power. also i want some 8 inch wide rims milled and painted just like the stock ones to retain a sleeper look lol

That's great for you...

No one is arguing that the stock vette isn't superior to a stock twin in every way... I mean, saying that opens you up to being called captain obvious. The question is with the same money that it costs for a new Z06, would the twin be superior.. Not what the resale value would be etc... would it be superior on the track with the same total cost. I argue that with much less spent on a twin, it would be superior to what you could walk out of a dealership spending on a new Z06... Especially, if you do your own work on the twin... The people I have a hard time with are the ones who say, you can't make a twin superior to a z06 no matter what you do to it, and that's just asinine. Jaden Let me add, if you can do your own work, buying a z06 would be asinine to me, because buying a entry vette and modding it with the same money as a z06, you could blow it's doors off...unless you just want to be able to say you have a z06...That just adds to the douchebaggery as far as I'm concerned... That's why I haven't liked the vette for a while, although the c7 is less douchey than previous iterations to me, I don't know why???? |

I think you'd have a much harder time than many people think to actually make a twin superior to a Z06. Sure, you could make one faster than a Z06 in a straight line, maybe even faster around a track, but to get one to the same level of track performance and reliability (that means able to actually be lapped at the track for a full track day without breaking things all the time), you'd have to spend a LOT of money on a BRZ/FR-S, and you would probably end up with something that would be a lot worse to drive every day than a Z06.

It's kind of like comparing the z06 to another super car..
You could make a z06 blow the doors off of just about any supercar you can name if you can put another 100K into it...
Jaden and I'm sure you wouldn't need to put anywhere near that much into it to be realistic against most stock cars... comparing a well modded car to a stock car is kind of a joke...let me switch that wording... a car modded well... |
