'89 TTA vs. '94 ZR1 vs. '02 Z06
OK here the deal, running around town is one of each of these and all are bone stock. So they all talk big but I know not a single one of them know dick about cars (daddy bought the cars for them).
So which of these is the fastest and order from 1st to 3rd.
By the way the ZR1 is amazingly fast and clean, he let me drive it a couple times, and he can't drive for **** but he said if he loses a race he'll let me race his car against the other two .
Both the Vette's are 6-speeds. I'm thinking the TTA (obviously auto) won't be able to hang with the Vette's but I'm not sure. The races are set for this Friday if it doesn't snow. But I was just wondering what you guys think the outcome will be. And yes I do live in Jerkwater but there is a big Clinic in Marshfield and some of the doctors there are rather well off so that's were these cars are coming from.
Any feedback is great, Thanks, Later Garrett

1st Z06
2nd ZR1
3rd TTA
thats what i would say, no way a 89 3rd gen f-body (stocK) and yes i know it is a TTA, would spank two of the TOP vettes out there.

I'd say biker's probably right...ZR1 should be pretty close to the Z06, possibly ahead depending on drivers. The TTA should be dead last.

better tell the TTA to up the boost and start tuning... bone stock he'll get raped if those guys can drive even decently... some small mods and he should be able to pass 'em.

Well aren't you just mister know it all. No I don't own all of those cars in the sig it says I sold 2 of them in the last year. And yes I do have the others.
Who in the H*ll are you to say I don't have those cars. I had originally stated that I didn't think that the TTA was going to be able to keep up to the vette's. What does being 20 have to do with anything.
Green RS your a freakin' tool. You don't know me and you obviously don't know **** about me. So why don;t you justy shut the f*ck up.
I have been dealing and building cars since I was 12 so having this many cars isn't a big deal. I am currently selling the Olds and the Monza is a just used for drag racing.

Real simple for everybody;
Weight from lightest to heaviest: Z06, ZR1, TTA
Power from most to least: Z06, ZR1, TTA
The Z06 and the ZR1 make the same power depending on year (405hp) but that's just a figure. The TTA was rated at 250hp (5 less than that years vette) but actually was making a hair over 300 at the fly. Now if you look at the details the ZR1 is a better motor in my opinion (32v DOHC) but it was detuned from the factory or I should say Lotus. Blah blah blah, just look at it and the TTA is last dead stock, ZR1 in close second and Z06 would win.

Umm.. let me see touched a nerve, Ya you could say that. Let me see if someone called you a liar and would you be a little defensive? I would think so. And who do you think you are, The all knowing car guy? Your driving a TBI 305 RS and you think you you know all about race questions like this one?
Dude I do have or had all the cars in my sig. None of them were showroom prestine, but none of them where rusted out POS's either. Also there's not a one of them that would lose a race to your 305 TBI RS camaro.
So why don't you go eat some freakin' donuts you "Law Enforcement" Pig.
Sorry about the flaming to everyone else I don't usually do it, but this guy just really got on my bad side fast.
Later, Garrett
Oh Ya the races are still on for tonight should be quite a bit of fun . Also what kind of mods would the TTA have to do to hang with the vette's (screw hang with them what would he need to beat them).

All he would really need is an adjustable wastegate to up the boost(GOOD boost controllers for these cars are $300-1000) some race gas,race chip and some sticky tires.
The stock injectors are fine for low 12's, hell some have broken into the 11's with em(though they were screaming for mercy).
There is no need to even touch the longblock for 11's.

The TTA was still MASSIVELY underrated though, I've seen dyno slips of BONE STOCK down to the paper filter TTA squeaking out 301 RWHP

Besides there is a link http://www.89tta.com/ttafaq.htm and at the bottom they say what I said. Although now that I looked (not like I cared in the past) the 89 vette did only make a rated 245hp. Very odd that such an obvious loophole to the theory was never uncovered.

If I had anyone of those cars, all of which I would gladly like to have, I garantee it would not be stock. The owners must obviously not like cars as much as we do to keep them stock. One of the first things we do is at the least put in a high flow filter and an exhaust, maybe some headers.
Biker had it right. Z06, ZR1, TTA. That's assuming that owners can handle the power enough not crash into a pole or something.

Ok then. I forgot how rare those cars are. I'm just saying mine wouldn't be stock. Once I buy a car I like to keep. I guess if you plan on selling it then keeping it original is a good idea. I'm just so used to having a thirdgen with few original parts.
Sorry if that statement sounded dumb.

Geez, settle down there. I am more into the modding of cars that are not in the greatest shape and have been fairly used. If the GNX is in mint condtion, I'm not going to touch it. If the GNX had 150,000 miles on it and was primered in spots, and ran slower than stock, then yes, I would mod it.

No, YOU wouldn't buy a GNX to drive. If I was going to spend the money for a GNX I'd drive it. Why would I pay all that money for a car that was going to sit in the garage?

What about a GN that looked like a GNX. Would you drive it then?

I only liked the looks of GNXs. I don't care for the styling of the Regal or even the T type. It doesn't have that wedge like thirdgens. I love the wedge shape, its so slick.

Transmission: A 700R4 that has trouble handling the formentioned 350.
OK here's how the race went down. First the TTA races both the Vette's loses both times and is really pissed, does a massive burnout and leaves. Then just the Vette's are left, they decide to run best of 3. First race goes to the Z06 by about 1/2 a car length. Second race was very close and the ZR1 won by about 2 feet. Then the third race the Z06 screwed up his shift from second to third and the ZR1 creamed him.
This was one of the best street races I have ever seen. I thought the TTA would have been a little closer but oh well, 5 cars lengths isn't that much.
So the Final Result
3rd : TTA
2nd : Z06
1st : ZR1
Later, Garrett
