turboing a Corvette....without the turbo

Nebraska GM Modern Muscle :: View topic - Turbo Questions

 

Thats hillarious. You gotta wonder if most of these people are serious?

 

Wow...just wow. I don't think that guy was serious though. There is no way someone is that fucking stupid. But then again, I guess you never know.

 

wow, stock civic si's nearly run that fast.

 

I've met lots of people like this, THEY ARE SERIOUS.

 

Wow, he really is a smart guy. Think I might have him tune my LS when I get the turbouuggh on there.

15.2? Wow. Just wow.

 

Reminds me of a guy I worked with that insisted a turbo sucks the air out of the engine.

 

C3/C4 vettes were plagued with being at the end of the Muscle car era. Stringent emissions reduced the power they could make. Luckily Chevy learned how to engineer an engine and now we have stock 11 second vettes making 24 mpg city.

Of the big three in America, Chevy built the only V8 (or V10) 'supercar' that doesn't have a gas guzzler tax on it like the Viper and 03-04 Cobra/S197 GT500 do.

 

they also have this nifty lockout to that forces you to skip gears at low rpms and speeds to achieve that mpg.

For some reason I think I have seen this somewhere else before.

 

The older WS6 6-speed Trans-Ams and Camaros had that feature too. 1st to 3rd FTL.

 

Huh?

2nd gear doesnt work?


Is there any way to disable that "feature"?

 

It can be disabled. IIRC you can still use 2nd gear but if you try to rev out 1st it won't let you into 2nd. For the people saying the 15.2 is slow what car out of the early 80s was fast?

 

why the fuck didnt GM just put some stupid "override" switch in there.


Aka a "sport" vs "city" setting.

 

Mine's better, my diabolical plan involves a vaccume air pump from a house hold hoover!

 

My favorite response is the first one ...


"you dumb ass motherfucker." ... i died laughing right there ...


:::EDIT:::


wait no ... this one \/



"........d00d have you been sniffing glue or something?

Seriously, gimme your keys.....your drunk......brian....brian.....gimme your keys. "

"edit: OMG I just realized something.....you haven't reproduced yet, have you?"

 

Are you sure you're not thinking of the 4+3 shifting manuals ? 4 gears with 2,3, and 4 having a Laycock de Normanville type of overdrive ?

 

haha that dumbass is all over the internet now... I was about to make the same post lol

 

and whats even better is that someone actually tried to msake fun of him and wrote


YOU A aRE AN ASSHAT! fUCK yOu J AY!!! I know it's you!

Why don't you go DRiVE that CAMO TURD FIERO OFF A SHORT CLIFF!? You should take a short walk on a LONG PIER, ASSFACEHOLE!

I am going to make this vette FAST. You'll see! Go SCREW A GOAT!!



ITS ACTUALLY GO TAKE A LONG WALK ON A SHORT PIER

 

the 2/3 lockout is only on automatics i beleive....

basically it shifts you from 1st to 4th under normal aceleration
