Did anyone tape Letterman with the Earnhardt burnout in a Corvette Z06?

[Salvador]

Just wondering if anyone Tivo'd it or could digitize it. I'd love to see it.

Heh.. That's about the speed of this forum. I screw up and people are all over it in seconds and now that I ask something, people ignore it.

BTW.. I can give a rats ass about Earnhardt. I'm just interested in the car.

HOLY CHIT!:Q:Q

Thanks NFS4! That's my car sans the silver fender stripes. My car sounds better though with the B&B PRT exhaust and long tube headers though. He should've started out in second gear instead. He's bouncing off the rev limiter too much.

You guys gotta check this out. This car belongs to a guy here in the Chicago area. It's a MTI 427 package called the Z07. It's comprised of a C5-R 427 (yes.. The same block in the C5-R Le Mans car) block among other things. He's running about 500 rwhp and 500 rwtq (at the rear wheels folks) with a conservative tune because it's a daily driver. It's all motor (no power adders) and sounds plain wicked with the addition of headers.

MTI Z07 at idle.

That's supposed to sound appealing?? No offense or anything...but it sounds like it's constipated

You're kidding me, right? It sounds like a Top Fuel car to me with the super lopey cam.

I'm dead serious. I mean, maybe I just don't have a nack for engines that sound like that...but I just ain't feelin' it

 

[tboo]

Not a Z06, but still a nice burnout. Man, these guys sure have the money for tires

I'd definitely give it a second look if it pulled up beside me at a light...but it's probably be that annoying look I give to Harley riders when they come burblin' up beside me vibrating my car

 

[prvteye2003]

personally, the Z07 sounds awesome, like a dragster or something. I wouldn't want to run with it.

 

[boyRacer]

Best sounding car IMHO evAr...

Now THAT is more like it!!!! I've ridden in '00 911 Carrera 2, an '02 911 Cabriolet and an '02 Modena F1. The Modena sounds simply GORGEOUS with the engine right behind your ears. The 911's were nothing to scoff at either.

Now THOSE are engines I could listen to all day

Sounds similar to my race car, which is a 400 SBC with a 4-barrell holley carb going through a set of crossover headers and into a single dynomax racing muffler. On alcohol, it makes about 700hp, 650 pounds of torque. My race car is a little more high pitched though.

 

[Salvador]

This is what a Z07 sounds like at the drag strip.

Z07 pass at a drag strip.

You can't deny that the Ferrari sounds awesome as well. Totally different car though.

I'm looking at adding a Vortech supercharger (similar to the ATI Procharger in the video). That should put me around 570 rwhp and about 470 rwtq. I'm just a little worried about heat at the road courses though. It's also not all motor, but it's cheaper and just as or more effective than the Z07 package.

There is a guy selling a very famous Z07. This particular guy got hosed by John Hennessy (total crook, but thats a story for another time) for about $100K and then turned to MTI to build his 9 second street monster. I think he wants $55K for his car. It even has a full Caravaggio interior. He's selling because he has a 911TT and Lambo Gallardo on order.

I bet it's not a street car. We've got a guy on the Z06 forums with a LPE 427 TT package. It cost him $50K plus his car. The coolest thing about the LPE twin turbo package is that it makes crazy hp, but is as docile as a stocker when you want it to be. I think he's making 825 rwhp and about 1000 rwtq off pump gas. He runs in the low 9's with drag radials.

I almost cant even fathom that sound coming from the Z06, I was looking for a big Harley in the background. Definetely not my style either.

One hell of a car you have there if it all works out. :Q

Nope it's not a street car. It's the engine in my race car, a NASCAR modified. The engine cost us about $13000 to put together, but we already had the heads (aluminum dart heads, fully CNC'd with stainless steel crower rockers), and the rods (carillo). So all told, we have about $17000 in it.

It's got a Dart Little M block that was fully race prepped, carillo rods, dart aluminum raised runner heads, crower stainless steel roller rockers (not shaft, yet), JE pistons, cola crank, roller cam, crane roller lifters
