Well the idle speed matches up to the 0 mph mark and the top of 2nd is 90 which matches up with 7000 rpms so technically speaking, if you started the car in second the tach and speedo would be parallel the whole way to 90. I've seen people start a c6 from second before from a stop so ik it's possible. Someone has to record that if it hasn't already been done.
It does. I haven’t taken more videos of it this year but hopefully I will soon. Last event I went to my GoPro mount broke and I missed the one this weekend because I’m rebuilding the transmission in it right now.
@@hardwick_performance Does the transmission require rebuilding at that power level? I'm trying to learn as much as possible about these cars, as I'm seriously considering one as my next car but I'm torn between a couple different options.
@@hhaste the trans is strong enough. If you launch hard at the track you can damage the diff which can in turn break the trans when it goes. Just avoid wheel hop and use common sense. Mine was still going after 2 years at this power level. The only thing in the trans that will really quit are the synchros. If you’re not missing gears and grinding then they’ll be fine. But if you want to shift fast eventually they will go or you’ll want to upgrade to carbon blockers. Later years may have improved. Mine was an 08. I’d try to get 08 or newer so you get the tr6060 trans. Also something like AMT solid diff and motor mounts are one of the best first upgrades for strength and feel. I had a broken motor mount letting stuff flop all over.
@@hhaste one more thing. Do not do an MGW shifter. They suck on these you will destroy synchros. The stock one is fine. I’ve heard good things about both tick and Tmod but I haven’t tried either. The people preaching MGW are not the fast guys. Not in C6Z’s anyways they might be great in other cars.
I have the same RPM with B3 cam package (w/ Frankenstein heads), but I added Corsa extreme exhaust, upgraded rockers, Injector Dynamics fuel injectors and South Bend Kevlar clutch.
Mine are FIC injectors and the clutch is a monster LT1-S triple. Rockers are stock with BTR trunnions. The heads are AI because Frankenstein was backed up. I’d like to get an exhaust because mine drones a little at cruise but it’ll be a minute since I have two other projects to finish.
@@camonly849 For the drag strip, highway and top speed, sure but not so much for the street, imo. Gears are too tall to have fun on the street. 2x the speed limit or more without even going in to 3rd gear.
@hhaste that's exactly why it's perfect 😂😂. Ran an m4 in my c6z, started in 3rd (no traction in 2nd), he pulled out and I then caught him in 3rd and passed him. Shifted into 4 for a couple seconds and I have 4 car lengths on him. I love the long gearing.
what year Z? asking because I'm curious about what transmission it has. I have a '13 and getting this same build. Have some concerns about clutch, transmission holding up. But it will be a street car, no stickies
08 so it’s the same trans as yours. I believe the factory synchros improved in later year ones. My factory clutch held up until I went to the track. So it’ll last a while on street tires. Not forever but if you’re not racing a lot you’ll be ok for a bit.
@@MaxwellReviresco they run good stock. You could put it on a tire and drop some weight and still beat a lot of things out there. If all else fails nitrous would be an easy way around emissions. Just don’t get carried away and crack a sleeve.
@@hardwick_performance It is a beast already, for sure. But the heads have already been bulletproofed, and clutch was redone from the previous owner. So carbon fiber driveshaft is next, then shocks and other wear items before I actually add power. But an intake most likely will sneak in there soon, knowing me, lol
@@MaxwellReviresco you’ll have fancier parts than me. I’m on stock shocks and torque tube doing 1.4-1.5 60’ and 6.60 1/8 at 109mph. Roughly low 10 at upper 130. It’s a little nerve racking launching at 5k
This was early in ownership before ironing out the tune but it did record a 60-130(which I think is roughly 100-200kmh) in 6.01 on a 10ish second 1/4 mile pass later. It went faster in the 1/4 afterward down to 9.80’s and likely into 5’s on the 60-130 but I didn’t have the dragy on to catch those.
@@number36420 no it makes over 500tq to the wheels still. Way over stock but the HP is much higher so even though it’s faster everywhere it feels like a turbo car if you roll into it at low RPM. Cruising under 1,500rpm it may surge some.
7.04 is one of my only recorded ones. I’ve not used the dragy much but I think I can get in the 6’s. That was on an 11.1 1/4 mile street pass and it’s been 10.60’s so far at the track but I only made 4 passes. Hoping to get low 10’s before the year ends.
Usually not on the street. It would at the track once in a while until I figured out how to make the Hoosiers work. Ended up switching to Kelltrac coilovers and dropped .5 in the 1/4 on the street during testing but sold it right after that.

Those couple seconds where the rpm and speedo needles are parallel
Not saying it’s slow, but that’s only because they spread out that 0-100 on the speedo
Lol thats how you know you're moving out
@@audilicous it's really not spread out. It more packed in than most cars. And then the 100-200 is extremely packed in.

@@hardwick_performance is this car, normally aspirated ? and what sort of horsepower does it put out?
Wow, that thing is moving. I'm guessing around 600rwhp? Sounds awesome. I have a smaller cam in my car with all the other supporting mods.
The dyno video is also on my page with list of mods
last thing ima see before i die

Which exhaust would you prefer?
@@wesleybeeson1818 I like the Corsa or ZR1 exhausts
That’s STRONG
Idk if I’m more fascinated by the MPH gauge or the gas gauge literally dropping lol
😂 it goes faster as it loses weight in fuel. It’s good engineering and totally on purpose to drop weight as wind resistance comes into play
Yeah, pulls hard all the way to 160. Nice.
The gearing GM did with the final drive and transmission is amazing in that car.

What kind of tires are you running? It looks like it hooks up well!
In this video it was the street tires. At the track 335/35/17 Hoosier DR2 on 17x11 weld S71
unit.

@@hardwick_performance ok awesome. Thank you!
geez you can see the gas tank drop!
🤣 7 liters at 7,000 rpm will do that
do you have dragy time 60-130 ?
I haven’t yet.
IN4 60-130 as well.

Yum. I just got my C6 Z06. Sadly, I don't think that package would pass smog in Cali 😐
A weedwacker doesn’t pass smog in cali. I’d move before farting without catalytic underwear is illegal.
@@hardwick_performance lmao! Right. Cows will probably be illegal soon 🙄. I gotta figure out what I can get though here in a few months.

Good lord I'd be terrified to go that fast!
Can’t even tell it’s smooth and feels like 55

100-200kmh in 6 sec 👍

Hey what exhaust is he running
This was ARH 2” primary long tube headers and factory after that
so nobody gone mention the gas needle go down
bing bong : fuck ya life
Lol you really can see it drop. I’m gonna tell my tuner to lean it out I can’t afford WOT pulls in this economy
Could be the g forces. Gas needle always reads less going up a hill
mines is the same its all worth it 🤙🏿
For street use is the stock clutch good to go?
Stock was fine on the street. At the track it couldn’t hold.
Is the car a dog at lower rpm’s compared to stock? I am debating heads and b3 cam on mine but it seems power is the same or lower than stock down low
@@number36420 no it makes over 500tq to the wheels still. Way over stock but the HP is much higher so even though it’s faster everywhere it feels like a turbo car if you roll into it at low RPM. Cruising under 1,500rpm it may surge some.
Looks like around 8 sec 60-130

wheel hop?
Usually not on the street. It would at the track once in a while until I figured out how to make the Hoosiers work. Ended up switching to Kelltrac coilovers and dropped .5 in the 1/4 on the street during testing but sold it right after that.
Is that 1st gear to 4th?
Yep. This combo got a lot faster after this video and first was no longer an option on the street.
@@hardwick_performance that’s sweet man. The z06 gears makes for a fast car. Wish my gs had z06 gearing
need😢
It’s currently for sale by the new owner in Texas with more upgrades than when I had it.
@@hardwick_performance i’ll keep that in mind when i can find a better paying job lol ain’t no way i could afford it right now
@@joeslo4.6 update. I found out later yesterday it sold and is now back in the Midwest.
Cats? No cats?
No cats
Get some fuel lol
I keep it low so when I crash I don’t stay on fire as long.
slowwww
Well, I'm sure your car is much, much faster...please show us?! LOL...
the gearing in these things are ridiculous. every gear sounds the same
Pulling what?
Pulling your mom's panties off most likely
