DirtySSouth Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 I am having major conflicts here...I read on this bored about VHO's almost stock, with just a tune, exhaust running 13.6's.....Thats the speed of a lighting correct ? For an SS to run 13.6's it takes quite a few mods, I am not even sure if a supercharged SS only will run a 13.6 and the VHO's are running that with just exhaust and a chip ? Can someone explain where the difference is other than the AWD....are we really losing 2 seconds in the quarter mile becaues of AWD ?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PewterC3 Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 13.6's with only a tune and exhaust? At full weight? mid 14.6's is a little closer to reality... maybe? maybe low 14's at best? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySSouth Posted February 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 Well he said he has tune, exhaust and slicks......but still, 13.6's.....it takes alot more than that for an SS or a C3 to run a 13.6 right ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
styleandspeed Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 I have seen one with a tune, exhaust, and a CAI with a 13.9 slip. They do have a few hundred lbs less than us and weight makes a huge diff. I took off 170 lbs last time I went to the track, and gained just over .2 sec. He probably also took off his spare, tailgate, etc so he probably weighed a lot less than we do. Also the 13.9 that I have heard is only .6 sec faster than I ran, and I don't have exhaust. Plus at the track they can have slicks. AWD is an advantage for us only on the street. It *may* be posible for one to run a 13.6 with those mods, but most of them shouldn't. Most will need more than that. I will agree that they are pretty damn quick though for what they have. Aaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdg Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 The VHO's I've read about that have broke 14 seconds are running 26" slicks, some sort of tune, exhaust, and CAI of somekind. I have the same mods my personal best at Tulsa was mid 14's that's with the 20's on and did not take anything off to lighten the load. So, I think I could probably break 14 if I put on the slicks. My 60' times have all been around 2.2 - 2.4. If not it would definately be very low 14's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdss Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 My buddy has a VHO and hopefully he can make it to Jax so we can line them up. This will be a street test though, I'm pretty sure he wont have time to make it to a track. So, if it happens, I will be sure to post the results. C.K.

Dylan06SS Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 The only advantage a VHO has over the SS is weight... but unless they can hookup the SS gains that advantage back. Pretty much its a toss up... but they do get to do burnouts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimB Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 Whats the weight diff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximus Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 Weight is one thing, but damn 13.6's with just exhaust and a tune? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dklapper Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 Power to weight is everything at the track. They're probably about a 600 pounds lighter with no front differential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimB Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 So 600 lbs should be about .6 faster. So the VHO should be mid to high 14,s stock. With a tune and some boltons I could see low 14,s maybe high 13,s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevySSandChevy8.1 Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 . A stock VHO at best runs around 14.6 in the 1/4 I heard, so the exhaust, tune and CAI are giving it 1 s off in the 1/4 mile, thats like a supercharger? I'm a bit sketchy on that.

Silver HO Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 The VHO's in my area are taking the SSS by as much as a truck length in the quarter. They're taking the Hemi's by as much as two truck lengths. None of these trucks so far have any mod's. I personally took a hemi by about 1-3/4 lengths. I have no mods and the only mod on the hemi was exhaust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan06SS Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 As long as we can all beat the Hemi's I'm happy.... I am looking forward to lining up against a VHO, just to see what the difference is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
