Great to see these videos on the s197 Alex. I also used to have a 2011 (a6) I did a fbo setup on then vortech back in 2014. Car ran bottom 10's full weight with a glass top on e85. Later had a 2015 then went to a different platform. Now picked up a 2014 GT premium m6 a few weeks ago. Ordering the Lund tune today and planning to go boosted over the winter. One question, why does your gauge cluster look different then my 14? I thought the 13 and 14 were the same?
It's also a half liter bigger than a Coyote. Not a huge difference but the displacement does help, plus excellent heads and some other magic I'm not aware about
1064HP is at the crank not the wheels so it's making about 900rwhp. From what I've seen it's running low to mid 5s 60-130 so for a car weighing around 4000lbs that sounds about right. I would suspect the stock turbos are good enough for another 200-300 rwhp. How much the stock motor can take is another story but it's a good starting point.
Bakersfield is a shithole 😂 You’ll end up suffocating from all air pollution. I have to agree though, Cali will tax the shit out of you. It’ll go further in Florida.
GTD dead on arrival… heavier, less powerful, worse handling, and more expensive than the zr1… and to get one it you don’t have to make a video begging Ford to get one like a wierdo
GM confirmed on multiple major YT car channels that power is achieved on pump gas. It's due to the fuck ton of cooling in front that will never fit on a front engine car and the electronic wastegate (in the first prototype iteration they were already measuring 800hp with the wastegate left wide open). Plus tons of other optimizations like super short exhaust path to turbos in exhaust manifold. The Z06's LT6 architecture was designed for trick turbo provisions since its original early conceptualization instead of tacked on after the fact.
Ain’t no one gives a fuck about the gtd the car is unattainable and cars compared to it are better what was ford thinking let’s make a heavy ass car and try to make it turn better than lighter cars and smaller
I’m gonna say it’s totally doable on pump because 1064 out of a 5.5 liter is ~193 hp/liter. AMGs turbo 2 liter 4 cylinder makes 230hp/liter on 91 octane. Big turbo, DI and port, 9.0:1 and 7200rpm limit. Nothing American made, but there’s a few production cars out there making higher hp/liter than the ZR1.
lol “3-5mil isn’t F-you money”… that’s easily 120-200k/yr in interest with any mediocre interest savings account. Damn feel like I missed a good live! Is the first hour lost forever?
