This is probably a stupid question, but my goal is to make my 1992 SC400 run as fast or faster then a new stock 400hp Chevy Corvette that does 0-60 in 4.3 seconds and the quarter mile in 12.7, and also beat the slower E55 AMG. Can it be achieved or am I wasting my time and money working around this stock tranny and internal engine parts? However, last I raced I did stay close to hanging but lost to the all mighty American muscle Vette with my old Betsy SC running nos, now with much wider rear tires and rims on the way, fine tuning, headers, and minor electrical upgrades I am hoping this will bring me even closer.
My ultimate question to you pro's is can I achieve this goal with the stock auto sc400/soarer tranny running the LSD and D.T.C? Or do I d need to swap into the manual V160 to even consider achieving the 4.3 and 12.7 times with the Sc? I know I can get this motor to produce the power needed but tranny shifts and hp tranny capacity is my worry, Is this a pipe dream?... I have raced a new vette one time a few months ago and lost but I did hang with the vette once we got going riding the nos but could not catch or pass, and I did get badly destroyed off the line. I was amazed at the off the line traction these new vettes possess, you would think they were AWD, but hopefully and just maybe that will change with my wider tires and coilovers to be installed shortly. Any thoughts on my delema???
