http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeIMBD6BCRQ Love the sound this car makes.... you can hear him the entire way around the track. He's one of the only people to run a single side-exit exhaust on a stock-chassis C5. He put a false passenger side floor in and cut a hole in the right side frame rail to run the exhaust out the passenger side of the car.

I can't remember the exact size of the motor but it's around the 400 cu-in range and he turns it until the factory PCM tables run out of data slots at 8200 rpms.

 

sounds insane.

 

danny popp is a great driver, and isnt jason in this video?

 

Different exhaust than in this video?

sounds radical.

forgive my ignorance, but whats so impressive about 8k rpm ? is it cause the motor is so big and its hard to balance or something ? Im not terribly knowledgeable on gm motors.

or is it cause he was able to get up to 8k rpm on this certain part of the track ?

and its RPM..no s.

 

its a low revving v8 IIRC, like most american v8s, if I am wrong brian will correct me lol

edot: cant find the redline, but I don't think it would be too far past these rpms, c6.r

Horsepower: 470 bhp @ 4800 rpm
Torque: 535 lb-ft @ 4500 rpm

 

well it doesnt need 9k and vtec to make 199hp and 122tq

 

lol i lost!

 

that still doesnt really explain anything. I mean by the numbers posted by sean d the power is made super low, thats great and all. Im still just wondering why its a headline to rev to 8k on this motor. Im assuming because its just so big that its hard to get it balanced correctly to make power that high. Im sure the car is a beast. I guess its just a domestic car thing.
