Z06 vs. Tahoe

Dirt · Aug 22, 2006

This is a buddy of mine that I grew up with. This is no shit 1/4 mile of ass whoopin'.

You can check out www.redstarperformance.net to read up on some of the stuff he wants to do.

It's not on his website but, we've been toying with the idea of a Cummins 6.0 in a Cherokee. If anyone wants to try that, call him. It's gonna be awhile before I can get back to GA to volunteer my Jeep.

I thought the zo6 was faster than 13.71?

impressive, but I also thought the ZO6 should have done much better

Makes you wonder if it was really a Z06, or just a '99 FHC C5...or just a shitty driver.

It's also a lot easier to launch a high-hp 4WD automatic than a 400 hp RWD 6-speed car.

It's a two wheel drive. That's a Z06. The Hoe is runnin' an LS 7. That doesn't mean the dude in the Vette could drive though.

However I know the dude drivin' the Hoe and if any one is afraid to punch it, it's him.

what tranny in the tahoe? vette 6 speed? 4l80e?

Dirt · Aug 23, 2006

4L60E 4:10 gears. That was actually one of the trickiest parts. The LS 7 is only programmed to go in front of a manual 6 speed.

Before he installed the engine he beefed up the trans though. New stall, all high performance components.

The woman talking sure sounded a lot like Kudzu.

Or maybe it is just the percacet talking.

Wow. Pretty impressive! The LS7 is an amazing motor. Apparently Vic agrees; cool pic I took last weekend at the Edelbrock tent in the pits of Laguna Seca:

Having seen the video, I can't argue, but how does a 5500 lb. truck with 505 hp beat a 3000 lb. car with 405 hp? Seems like the nearly double weight penalty would be too much to overcome with only 20% more hp. I'm sure the 4.10s helped, but still. Is it a stock LS7?

Its not a z06 or the driver was not pushing it.
the z06 will do the 1/4 in 11.

No offence to your friend... That is a sweet tahoe.. no doubt!

That car is a C6 vette. Different powertrain than the vette racing.

The car racing is a C5 vette. The one you pulled specs on has a LS 6. Still not the LS 7. The C5 Z06 had either 405 hp or 420 hp. I can't remember off the top of my head. I think 405

Ixnayxj- It's a stock engine I believe. It does have homefab headers, oil reservoir, and some other stuff I'm not thinking of right now.
