My turbo D gets over 30mpg highway, untuned, rich as ---- throughout the whole powerband.

Re: Fear... 2009 Corvette LS9
 

um yea i press the gas down don't you? ;D

Re: Fear... 2009 Corvette LS9
 

I have to push it down to get going anywhere at a slightly better than slow pace. (stock a6 w00t)

You just made it sound like it wasn't possible to get 30mpg on your turbo teg :P

Re: Fear... 2009 Corvette LS9
 

honestly, it BARELY if even got 30mpg stock...

Re: Fear... 2009 Corvette LS9
 

Something aint right, I get average 35mpg and I have no 02 hooked up

Re: Fear... 2009 Corvette LS9
 

can you keep up with traffic??? lol...

the offical integra ls mpg ratings are 24/28 which are prob still inflated... because those are the old ways to calculate...

Re: Fear... 2009 Corvette LS9
 

Yea man, I WOTOMGZRICINIT to and from school all the time. And usually cruise to Miami never dippin below 100mph.
I get down there on 3/4 of a tank.

250miles on ~7gal of gas.

Re: Fear... 2009 Corvette LS9
 

Aint difficult to believe they get that, highway only I can get 28 mpg in my 3.8 buick. Normal driving I get 24ish.

Re: Fear... 2009 Corvette LS9
 

my suspension is stock and cut srpings or ebay springs are ---- thats why I wont lower the car. cant find any i like as far as drop is concerned that I wanna pay for.

and my bone stock 80K mile D16y8 got 40 to the gallon on a trip to danville. Filled up once and drove 409 miles to that tank but I just knew I was gonna end up pushing it to the pump but it never even studdered.

Re: Fear... 2009 Corvette LS9
 

big deal i've gotten 31mpg in my camaro going from seattle to portland.

40mpg isn't that great for a 100whp car...

Re: Fear... 2009 Corvette LS9
 

I just got to beat the ---- out of a c6 when i was in NC. They are nice cars. But johnny. please, for once... ahh nm. its not going to help :P


There is alot of little things i didint like about it tho. wouldn't stop me from buying one, i'd personally rather have an amg benz but i've always been partial to them..

Re: Fear... 2009 Corvette LS9
 

base model c6 is a completly different beast compared to a c6 z06. 8)

Re: Fear... 2009 Corvette LS9
 

The little things he didn't like most probably had nothing to do with performance.

Re: Fear... 2009 Corvette LS9
 

thats was what i was trying to say about the Malibu. All the things I dont like are the same things that I found when I drove the chevy silverado and cobalt. They are shitty for simple driving purposes. Haulin ass feels ok but normal day to day ---- in those cars is not comfortable.

If i had enough money so that I could buy a vette and have like 3 other things to drive yes I would own one...but other than that no thanks. If I want something for strickly performance I would rather build it. Much cheaper and more fun IMO. lets face it you are goign to buy it mainly cause either you want speed or you want a vette. Your not buying it for trunk space thats for sure. So if speed is your quest and you are not mechanically inclined or just plain dont want teh hassel sure its a decent bang for your buck..but.... If you are buying said corvette cause "Its really fast" you more than likely wont know the difference between a 12.0 vette and something that may runs 13's flat for less than half the price.

So I cant really see forking out the cash unless either A) you dont have a good grip on how to obtain speed or B) you just like corvettes or C) your penis is very small and must be compensated in a "Fast" car.

Many things can go 12 seconds. some are made that way, others not so much but end of the day going 12 in a vette is just normal. 12's in a civic turns more heads.

Re: Fear... 2009 Corvette LS9
 

more meaningless ramblings

Re: Fear... 2009 Corvette LS9
 

You are kind of like HMT version of Top Gear Johny. A Poor mans Jeremy Clarckson if you will......

Re: Fear... 2009 Corvette LS9
 

not even close.

you will never build a car that will out perform a stock c6 z06

Re: Fear... 2009 Corvette LS9
 

Outperform how?

Re: Fear... 2009 Corvette LS9
 

Dont get butthurt cause I said the Vette is no different than an escalade which is IMO a car thats not worth it. Sure escalade is nice but its a suburban with a sweet grill. You can buy the same for less just liek the vette. Yes its a refined machine and yes its a hard to beat car but its a car plain and simple and you can go fast, turn sharper and *ahem* stop faster...for cheaper bottom line. If it aint about the cheapness then....... :8

Re: Fear... 2009 Corvette LS9
 

I mean your kidding me right?

You cant really be telling me that I cant possible pull a g on a skid pad and go faster tha 12's for 77K?

Re: Fear... 2009 Corvette LS9
 

Quoted for uncontrollable knowledgeablilities

Re: Fear... 2009 Corvette LS9
 

outperform as in every single category.

go look at the road course raced hondas, that costs tens of thousands of dollars, a stock c6 z06 would destory all of them

this is hondas...

ya someone could build a car faster for cheaper from a shitty platform

i said YOU couldn't which is true

Re: Fear... 2009 Corvette LS9
 

Nice move with the whole gear change to personal stab and not tech as you try to adhere to.....wait i have seen this tatic before....ricer.

Re: Fear... 2009 Corvette LS9
 

it was a z06 :-D

I didint say the car was slow. I love the torq, and they look downright sexy. but its just not for me. Altho, someday i'd like to get my dad one. even a c5

Re: Fear... 2009 Corvette LS9
 

thats cool

i want to get a c5 z06

Re: Fear... 2009 Corvette LS9
 

LOLOLOL :o With mods plenty of cars can outperform a stock c6 z06 vette in EVERY category :-*

Re: Fear... 2009 Corvette LS9
 

modding a car is not building one...

Re: Fear... 2009 Corvette LS9
 

What about pulling a bitch catagory? OOooooOOOoo owned.

Re: Fear... 2009 Corvette LS9
 

Oh jesus, so now you are going to split hairs? You're such a ricer. :-*

You knew what I meant when i said build.

Re: Fear... 2009 Corvette LS9
 

which car would you choose?

Re: Fear... 2009 Corvette LS9
 

Track prepped Miata with an SBF??

Re: Fear... 2009 Corvette LS9
 

15k tops.

and then buy a 3 series beamer for your daily. z06 beater ftw?

or a miata, an older truck for 3k to pull your miata, and a 3 series for a daily.

Re: Fear... 2009 Corvette LS9
 

if you spent 15k you prob won't... vette is a superior platform, unless your all out overwhelming acceleration can win it for you... no prob not. miatas aren't that great anyways, it'll take a lot of work, esp with a heavy motor not made for the chassis

Re: Fear... 2009 Corvette LS9
 

Plus, SBF would put you in the high 13's :P (back me up johnny!)

Re: Fear... 2009 Corvette LS9
 

depends which motor lol...

sbf 302 2 bbl carb 175hp will prob make you run 14s lol

Re: Fear... 2009 Corvette LS9
 

i thought the monster miatas 302's are only 40 lbs off from rotary.

And no i wouldnt choose a miata. I would buy an Atom :-*

Re: Fear... 2009 Corvette LS9
 

you would lose by a huge margin then :-\

it depends which 302, and i dont really know. an all alum 302 might not weigh much more but a cast iron one would im sure

Re: Fear... 2009 Corvette LS9
 

Noone ever said an SBF was a 302...... ::)
