Well since the gearbox was designed to add an extra upshift to get to 60mph, probably not. I recommend everyone sell their 86s immediately. Btw, the only way the Corvette gets under 3 secs, is with the 8 speed auto.
@civic I would probably refrain from celebrating any GM warranty promises at this point in history..... |

Isn't that like splitting imaginary hairs?
The Fullblown car is deep into the 10's at 140 mph. That's 13 mph faster than the new Z06 in the 1/4 mile. It's definitely the faster car, at least in a straight line.

Pretty sure the trailer that brought the car to the track was on street tires.

FB mentioned that they ran the 116 mph pass letting off due to traction issues, but they still managed a 10.3 second pass. That's crazy if you think about it. Even the 140 mph pass was at partial throttle. If they can find some traction, that car is 9-second capable without any more power. BTW before anyone gets more butthurt about me bringing up Twins that are faster in a straight line than the new Z06, note that I'm not saying: 1) these cars are better than the new Z06, 2) these cars will be as reliable as the new Z06, 3) these cars are as fast as the new Z06 on street tires in the 1/4 mi, or 4) these cars can match the new Z06 on a track. If you try to read any of those statements into my post, you deserve the butthurt you feel. This was the original question: That's the only question I was answering with that post. Yes, it's been done many times.
