2000 C5 Corvette (Base)

Head/Cam/Bolt On, 440ish whp LSx
Basic suspension upgrades
9" wide and 10" wide CCWs, and coresponding tires.

Too easy.

Whats not to be serious about?

Big power (300 in the lowest base stock, 500 in the latest C6 Z06 (no zr1)...not to mention the instant torque)
Lightweight (all hover around 3000-3300 lbs)
Great Handling (a set of tires, and it will outperform a coilover'd basic suspension s chasis)
RWD (the only way to fly)
Big Tire Capable (yea, you can fit big boy rubber on them)

Better yet, you can find base c5's for stupid low prices...

But hey, who am I...I don't do HPDE or anything .....

lucky7 · 09-25-2008, 11:45 AM

E46 M3, and an W210 E55.

who needs mods??

*!Zar!* · 09-25-2008, 11:47 AM

The thing is people are choosing huge cars when the passes aren't huge car friendly. But whatever.

i was thinking how big and heavy it was.....

and the op said if we were to have 50k.....

also just think of a one lane downhill touge pass.....

that thing will get smoke by a corolla....

for example, a supra TT wouldn't do good in one lane touge, but

lucky7 · 09-25-2008, 12:09 PM

phht. a vette would manhandle a corolla.

trad1987 · 09-25-2008, 12:21 PM

Yeah, thats talkin 400hp vs 120hp. Work the 86 up to higher power and that would show it a good race. Also it depends on what kinda road. The mountain road we used to race on in Flagstaff was super intense and there were only very short straights so a low hp 86 would come veeeery close to a high hp corvette

lucky7 · 09-25-2008, 12:31 PM

do you guys seriously underestimate a C5/C6's handling potential that much?? the torque and hp are just icing on the cake as fara s im concerned.

keistyle · 09-25-2008, 12:49 PM

seriously..
done, just this with r compounds, and maybe some custom pbm coilovers.

the C5 is lighter than many of the japanese sports cars like the Evo, Sti, and 350z. but you probably didnt know that.

It's readily apparent to me now, that you fall into one of the following categories

1: Play Video Games all the time, think superstreet is the best, and drive a stock Altima
2: Hang out on forums all day and think postcount = know it all
3: Dumbass

A Corolla, even in modified form, would have a hard (read: near impossible) time even keeping up with a Base beat the shit ls1 Automatic Vette, with decent tires.

Instead of blabbing off about something you have zero clue about, why not get out from behind your keyboard, goto a local HPDE, AutoX, and or Race and see what these cars actually can do. Let me assure you, you will be hard pressed to find many Corollas out there. Why even bother with a Corolla anyway when you can have a Miata?

Exactly. Such an excellent chassis, that most Import FFF's have no clue about. Heck even if money was nothing, the current Z06, a what, 75k ish car, embarasses cars triple it's cost with the right set of tires on it.

Now now, they don't talk about Corvette in Dsport magazine, only 'tooner' cars.

Sounds like a case of piss driver versus power. PS: A 400whp Corolla would be JANK...all I'm picturing is a peaky, twitchy car, that would have either a hard time staying in power, and or then have a hard time putting it down once it got into it. I still know a 400 whp vette would beat up a 400 whp 'rola.

yea definitly a Elise cause there bad ass

and this custom setup!
