So after viewing the M6 vs Z06 thread the Brian posted, it gotme thinking will my car ever be able to do something like that? How much potential does car have, will it ever be able to compete with cars such as the Z06 with out being a completly gutted race car?

I currently drive a 96 GT and like everyone else I have grand dreams of being able to pull up next to some random supercar or even just higher end car and being able to leave them in the dust or at least hang door to door with them. But what would it take for my car to do that? 03/04 cobra motor swap? Huge turbo able to suck in small children? A tank of NOS..no wait two of them by tonight(F&F reference if you missed it) After all of that would i still be able to keep up, or even if i did would I been in a gutted, bouncy, loud race car why the competition enjoys their leather seats and ac/heated cup holders?

I thought this would be an interesting topic because i've seen many people who have huge plans for their cars and wondered what goals they were shooting for wether realistic or just pipe dreams.

So how much potential does your car have?

 

450rwhp for 5k and i get to keep my comfy leather M3 interior a/c and smooth suspension

now i just need that 5k

 

I drive an SUV.


The only potential I have is rolling over.

 

The way I see it, all cars have the potential to be equal within their own "class".

Ex: I will never be able to make a crx hang with an F1, thats just impossible.

Could I spank an M3 while keeping my ac/heat and interior? Shit yeah.. why not.

 

you had a sexy car, my sisters husband just bought a new 335 bimmer OMGZ buttsex get one

 

If I felt like dropping the cash I could certainly put a TT on the Cobra and have 800 whp.

Add a built block and turn up the boost

Little suspension work in the front

 

put 3k into my factory k20a3, and you got your self a supercharged killer hatch with 220+- whp

 

In order to get my car to fun with Z06s and what not it would deffinatley need a more powerful turbo motor and be a gutted out, loud, and bouncy. O wait it already is gutted, loud, and bouncy. Looks like all i need is a more powerful motor!

 

heres another question i've been having how come you can put down 500hp in one car ( ex: Z06) and it seems like there are alot less issues with traction as oppose to if i was putting down 500hp in a mustang id have tons more issues with traction? Is it just a suspension issue? Car design?

 

The car is designed with the power level in mind...
