I never said 135 mph trap speed didn't impress me... I stated that a stock 08 with only 510 to 520 rwhp can trap 127 and 128 mph and a car with significantly more power like 150 more Rwhp can only pick up another 7 mph thats what isn't impressive. As far as my drage racing experience I have...
so maybe its the drivers and not the blowers?
I find that hard to believe that so many owners of these paxton cars can't drive, but many of the Roe blown cars have drivers that could drive?? Is there a different demographic of Paxton vs Roe owners? lol... Can't anyone agree that with 670 or...
With that being said.. with traction you will lose mph. I could argure my horrible 60' time and say that if I could have got a low 1.50 or high 1.40 with slicks I would have run a high 9 in the quarter. But that is just not the case. My point of this to begin with is that the corvette will out...
Absouloutely I have. I would not talk without first hand experience. I had a Roe blown car and ran a best of 10.37 at 132. It is very rareto see a post even close to a mid 10 sec run with a paxton and no engine mods. None the less my 60 ft time was a horrible 1.73. I have only seen post of 11...
Guess this just continues to prove that the Paxton set up is only good for RWHP numbers and not actual performance on the strip. I wish we could get a Roe blown car to the track which will no doubt get you into the tens. Nice run on the Z. Great pics too.
Stock pull 440 HP and 467 TQ. After installation of American Racing stepped headers with high flow cats, B&B catback, and a Sean Roe tune via SCT programer the car pulled 499 HP and 550 TQ. Thanks to Redline Motorsports, Roe Racing, and American Racing Headers.

Guess I should change my location, although I have lived in Florida twice I grew up here in Albany and just moved back in May. I should be attending this cruise and am willing to hook up anytime if you guys are out an about. Its fun to take the cars to the go cart track in east greenbush!!
Well im sure its a bit to late in the day now... sorry didn't get back on last night. Im in north greenbush. I haven't seen you or your car out ever. I am around most evenings.
Had the car out today on a 200 mile plus cruise out of Albany through Lake George into Vermont and back into Albany with 12 ZO6's, what a blast today/ The leaves were almost at peak and as we all know the weather was beautiful. I may join you guys along with a couple of the Z's.
My point here is to gonabite......drive an 08 before you say the vette is a better driver
Commonsense,
That was the best resonse anyone has written. Most everyone else is offended by my OPPINION. When I get the opportunity I will drive one, and as you have found I hope I find the same... a...
Your most valid point and the only reason Im not driving one of those fantastic machines is that weather its a Z06 or ZR1 it looks like a Z51. Other than that GM technology so far surpasses Chrsysler its pathetic. GM has built a car with all the luxuries of your Lexus makes it faster than a...
You say stock engine. Was that HP number with stock exhaust? Although the Roe will produce less peak HP, im almost willing to bet it will produce quicker 0-60 times and 1/4 mile times.
As you said you would expect it to trounce the Roe. Me too my point exactly thank you for making it. Thats the problem I have not seent one report of one Paxton only with exhaust in the 10's. I wish that they did produce those numbers I would have one on my car.
As far as your rude in...
Tuner? No. Not my occupation. Have tuned plenty of cars, do my own work. Avid racer. Road courses and 1/4 mile again not my occupation but plentyof miles in the seat.
You seroiusly think an 08 hood won't look good with a Roe blower under it? Thats interesting many people seem to be buying and...
No your talking out of turn.. for me I have owned a previous viper with a blower that put 612 RWHP down and I ran a 10.37 at 132 mph so don't tell me I don't know what I'm talking about. These Paxtons don't make enough power in the right areas.:nono: Maybe your the one who needs an education in...
With all these Big numbers that these Paxtons are laying out why is it we don"t have a single car with a Paxton only running in the low 10's? With those numbers you would expect a high 9 second pass. Not to steal anyones thunder but all these Paxtons seem to be is bragging rights for RWHP not...
