TTRS vs LT1 camaro with unknown mods. Just a random pairing and dig action.

https://youtube.com/shorts/cqamWDp8Fks?feature=share

That's not an LT1 (that's a 6th gen trim) Camaro. That's a 5th gen Camaro. If it's an automatic it's got the L99 (400hp) engine but, if it's a manual, then it's an LS3 (426hp).

It was a near FBO manual car but on normal tires. Nothing stickie. He did hook up the race before but i guess he got a bit heavy on the pedal and spun this time. i was past him in no time either way.

Near full bolt on LS3 5th Gen Camaro will make between 420-440whp and nearly 400wtq in a 3800lb car. He would have absolutely needed a tire just to pretend to hang with your car.

Like i said was just a random pairing. I lined up and he lined up. He was cammed or at the least had a lumpy tune. It wasnt even close to fair. But hey he lined up

[mikemounlio]

This weekend i was able to run a procharged (unknown mods) gen 2 coyote, and modified (unknown mods) hellcat charger. The charger was very close to my speed but but i started in the back of the 2 cars from a 60 roll. I would have passed the charger but ran out of mexico street. The coyote had no chance.

I also ran a kawi H2. We happen to get on the highway at the same time. We did 4 good pulls. 1st pull he got me from a bad start. 2nd roll the car did a weird shift at launch. 3rd roll was pretty even but he got me up top. He was inching away from me. 4th roll i got he as he had wheelie issues trying to put power down. I was really surprised that he did blow me away as i raced a zx10r that was flashed. the zx10r must be pretty nasty as he was just a hair slower. I assume the h2 was all stock.

TTRS vs Dragy 60-130

First time to use Dragy, 5 runs, started with 7.42s ended with 6.95s. Full tank of E85, manual downshift to lowest, Sport auto after. I think there might a bit more once I get familiar with things.

[8STTRS]

Not too bad, DrMerl. That's fairly solid for S2 E85.

[DrMerl]

Thx! I forgot to open the valves, see if that helps, then try manual shifting. Now that I've got my spiffy phone holder (fits between the vents) I can see wtf is going on. Last bit, along with practice, will be adding the SRM throttle elbow. Perused the Drag Times board for 60-130 - holy sheeeeet Batman. I'm happy to be able to punk a bunch of stockish brand names for now. Can't image 4 sec 60-130, lol. Under 7s for usual street hoon'ing is fast without being too crazy.

I can say that the 4-second range has you thinking a lot about the consequences of your actions. I regularly think to myself that this car will either end up putting me in jail or the ground. I glance down at my speedometer one second and it's at 130ish, glance down again and it's at 150ish, then 170ish, then so on. I've had a lot of moments in the last few months where I think about selling it and getting something more oriented with twists and turns. Your car is still very, very fast for street use and will shame many cars on the road. It's certainly faster than stock Hellcat's, Redeye's, Z06's, ZR1's, GT500's, etc., etc. Although even at the stage that I'm at, I know well enough that I will get gapped into oblivion if I race a ProCharged F-1A94 or F-1X C7 Z06. Those guys are doing single gear pulls in 3rd gear and getting mid-high 3's without any crazy mods.

"There are old pilots and bold pilots, but no old, bold pilots" and there's always a bigger fish =)
I chased HP for a while, for now I'm a big(ish) fish in a little pond, but you're out in the ocean with the monsters! I know of quite a few that have gone from crazy fast back to something stock, but sporting. I love using my stock Golf TDI man pedal and I'm eyeing a Lotus Emira. Would be cool to have 4, 5 and 6 cyl cars. I've managed to keep my adrenaline junkie chained to a wall and smack him around with my wallet if he gets crazy ideas, haha.

Are liter bikes a problem? I can only hang with those pesky 600s.

Very true statement.

I haven't had the chance to run any bikes but, the conversation has come up several times with some of the local liter bikes. I think there's hesitation on their end to race a car that has a chance of winning. They're all about it if they can decimate the car but, there's about 3-4 of us in this area that run about as fast as I do and those bikes never come out to run any of us. However, they'll run cars that they know they can 100% beat. Based on my 60-130 times, it would be a pretty close race with most liter bikes and then I would start to walk away up top (my 100-150 is quicker than my 60-130). Frankly, I am hesitant to run bikes in general because I'm always so worried about something happening to them mid-race. I have several friends with liter bikes and I don't know any of them that haven't laid their bike down at least once. One of them nearly died because of unforeseen road conditions.

I'm really looking hard into 718 Porsche Cayman's. I'd like a GTS or GT4 but, I still have a really hard time with their low ceiling for power potential. It really bugs me. Not that I want to have another car as fast as this one but, I don't want to be absolutely limited to an exhaust and tune only, you know? I think about 500whp in a mid-engine, 2900lb Cayman would be extremely ideal. But there are very, very few examples of that.

I went from a 650rwhp ZL1 (unusable in cold/rain/etc) to a TTRS with just weight reduction mods. Never looked back, so much fun. I may eventually go E85 on it via DS1 but really just enjoying the car for what it is.

Oh, I can completely understand that. I had a modified C7 Z06 and ZL1 1LE. I still romanticize those cars and think that I can make them much more controllable but, I know that there will always be a threshold where all I'll do is fight for traction. The TT RS at these power levels, however, can get really sketchy at higher speeds. It's a tradeoff that I didn't expect and frankly, kinda spooks me from going that quickly in this car. I think I'm going to need some solid aero and a better alignment to keep things in check. Because I do enjoy doing things other than drag racing.

I am in the same boat as you; I never expected this car to be as sketchy as it is at high speeds but holy shit…. when your foot is to the floor the car is fighting you to stay straight at triple digit speeds. I know we have crappy highways out here in SoCal but it definitely makes you think; do I really need more? I have also noticed I am much more conservative driving around 90% of the time in this car compared to my last built car because like you said, death/jail are only a few seconds away. My last car was fast, but this is a completely new level. Crazy to think people are daily’ing 8 and 9 second cars on the street like it’s nothing these days.

[DrMerl]

I've improved high speed stability for S2E5 levels by adding a FSB, more caster (034 Camsters) and the Automotive Passion aero kit. Big difference. I tried out just a RSB for a while with a little rear toe and it was too squirrely for me at high speed, it rotated nicely on twisties, but not what I was looking for. Tried a DSC controller, it helped a little but opens up another can of suspension tuning worms, I'm on back on the stock controller for now. I set the alignment back to stock numbers except for the additional camber and caster from the top hats, took out any rear toe as well. There's still inherent torque steer and bump steer, but at least car wants to go straight at WOT now. The steering is a bit heavier too. I can feel the extra downforce from the aero at triple digit freeway curves, more stability over 120. Coast down from higher speeds takes longer, getting up to speed is quicker, easier - I read that as better drag coefficient.

[mikemounlio]

I ran into a 09-14 R1 the other day. I know the guy had a Toce exhaust and the bike was very well kept. I assume it had other mods but not clue. The rider was also very small. I walked away from him up top. Did get any video tho.

[DrMerl]

More on street vs track settings, stability vs turning.
https://youtu.be/ONZb5EDPvdM?t=228

I've run through the various suspension and alignment tweaks, street only and it's not fun at all with track settings on high speed street. Awesome it doesn't take much for this platform to do either, just not both =)

TTRS vs weight scale - Full interior, Ti exhaust, lithium battery, a bit of unsprung weight. Full tank of E85, slightly heavier than gas at 6.59 lbs per gallon. Half tank would drop another 46 lbs, then I'd be under that magic 3200lbs.

Nicely done! I can’t seem to find a consistent answer online; do you know what the car weighed stock with a full tank of gas?

Concerning the TC870XT, that’s a pretty ridiculous 60-130 for a full weight car with a hybrid. Hoping the TC900XT gets me into the 3s since I’ll have some decent weight reduction; wheels, brakes, seat delete, Braille battery, and front seats.

[DrMerl]

I've not found a consistent value either, from 3370lbs to little under 3300. Did not weigh when it was stock.

Crazy 60-130! Losing that weight you'd be in rare company in power to weight ratio. If you haven't already consider adding more caster, helps quite a bit for stability. BTW Automotive Passion is working on a CF gas cap, that'll help too =) Last thing to do is add the Essex brake kit. I still think the brakes are meh even at stock turbo levels, it must be puckering to throw out the anchor with more power. Hopefully 034 comes out with their surge tank to deal with 1/2 to 1/4 tank of E85 and starvation. Have you done anything with oiling? I read you can get lack of flow in high G corners, wondering if the spiffy pan from JDY Performance would help, more capacity and baffles.

[mikemounlio]

My car came in at 3200lbs. I have the trunk area removed and the passengers seat out. I cant remember if the 3200 was with the seat out or not but i think it was. Also that was a full tank of e85. So if i put the dump tubes on and remove the exhaust that will save another 45lbs or so and another 50lbs being at a half tank. That would get me down to around 3100lbs.

[8STTRS]

If you can get a TC870XT that actually works and mounts up properly, then that's a win in of itself. Either way, that's a solid time they posted but, always take it with a grain of salt. There tends to be more to those cars posting up those times than HP lets on. Also, I think that we are really approaching the hard limits of hybrids in general. I personally think that the TTE855 and this 870, context withstanding, is about as far as you'd want to go for a reliable hybrid.

Looks like the 2015 TTRS starts about 3250 lbs vs 3300ish for the later models. Back seat good good for around 40lbs, front about 60? Light or no exhaust with a lithium battery another 60-80 lbs that'd be pretty nice.

TTRS (Hank Iroz's TTRS) vs Hoonigan RX-7
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3f0QaDuOrU

[8STTRS]

I'm disappointed that Hank decided to use the nitrous on the second and third race without specifically saying that he was going to use it prior to the runs themselves. While we were aware that the bottle was there, he should have said, "I'm going to spray." Now, in most cases, the nitrous just helps those large full frame turbos to spool but, nonetheless I think it was poor form.

I can just about guarantee that the owner of that C6 used to own the orange, built TT RS with the gen1 IMS850 kit that was a regular on AG's channel. I haven't asked him yet if that was him but, I'm fairly confident that it was.
