Going to coffee & cars sat. - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

rhipsher · 12-03-2009

With some very very heavy hitters. My buddy patricks 760rwhp TT C5 and Jamie and his 2009 ZR1. Here is Patrick's monster. He had to get those flaired rear quarter panels to accommodate the 345 tires. Here's his latest dyno numbers and the car. In the 60mph to 130mph contest he ran in 6.4 sec.

All three of us are meeting at Ihop at 7:30am this saturday and going to blast down the toll rd. to Coffee & cars. As you can see I'm way way out gunned in the HP department. But I guess it will depend on how big their balls are. Mine are really big.

I hope you guys have a great day with good weather and a ton of fun!

Those are some heavy hitters you're hanging with. That C5 looks way cool!

These guys have allot more money than me to burn on these cars. Pats also got a 650rwhp 96 camero that I helped him put a Spec stage 5 clutch in.

That is a lot of whoopaz!

Reminds me of some of the heavy hitters of the FBI group; most near 500 at the fw, and going up to (who know what?) for that insane motor of Pete's, the 415s, 421, 427, and 441s! I hear ya when it comes to $$$ for speed tho!

Enjoy, and post some pixies (we like um pixies!)

Next time I'll keep my mouth shut about wishing any one "nice weather".....I'm sorry I jinxed the weather forecast....did I see right on the TV...you guys have snow?!?

Tom

P.S. if it makes a difference, we are getting snow-rain-sleet thing later on Saturday up here in NYC/metro/suburbs.....I hate winter! If the salt goes down, the car is dunn for the year till the spring rain comes.

Boy it sure did snow about 3". That does not happen very often especially in south Texas only 60 miles from the gulf coast. That was enough snow that people had made snowman's. in their front yard 5' tall. But the roads were dry so we went to C&C. I got some great pictures of both Jaimes 2009 ZR1's and my 90 Z together. He told me he had a new atomic orange Zo6 and he finally talked the dealership down on that new ZR1 on the showroom floor and they finally bit. He said it was going to be close to the same payments as the ZO6 so he took it. Super nice guy. He paid for me and Patricks Starbucks Latte's and cinnibond rolls. I like him already. There were two professional photographers there and I asked them if they could take some really good pictures of both our cars together. And they did. So as soon as they are up on there website I'll load them up here.
