Friendly betting at the corvette casino...

[Jeremiad]

I will offer up a prize for the winner.

I have some 7 x 9.5 inch canvases, and I will print up something cool for whomever wins.

 

[Rruuff Day]

Great gesture Jordy.

 

[Tinman]

Get your guesses in....should have numbers tentatively on Wednesday woohoo!

 

[Tinman]

Well....the numbers are in! I am gonna wait a couple more hours in case anyone else would like to guess. All in good fun so why not throw some numbers out there

The nerd in me should've asked, is it a Mustang dyno or a dynojet?

 

[Tinman]

Dynojet lol

 

[Nik]

Dynojet lol

Ok no need to adjust my friction coefficient then... I shall avert my gaze and stick with the numbers. Hope you got the prize sorted out.

 

[Rruuff Day]

Now it's just come down to which one of us Tim likes the best...

 

[Tinman]

I don't see a basline tq number for Jord but I know he told me before he would guess the same hp as tq for the low numbers. So 358 tq for him it is. As to how I am gonna figure the winner is to make it as simple as possible. I asked for 4 separate numbers as guesses. I will add all your numbers together and then add all the actual numbers together. I will figure the difference between the two and that is your number. Doesn't matter if you were low or high. Whoever has the lowest number wins. Seems as simple and as fair as I can make it.

 

[Rruuff Day]

Oh... well now... that makes perfect sense.....

 

[Nik]

Don't forget to add number of characters in our user names to that final number as a sort of a twist. Hehe.

Seems alright and proper.

 

[Tinman]

Oh... well now... that makes perfect sense.....

Hahahaha...took a few minutes to figure that one out for sure. You just have to be good 4 times instead of one or two lol.

 

[Rruuff Day]

Ahhhh.... so this is much like the fellow that taught me how to play Chess... He just explained the rules after we were already playing....That was 43 years ago and he still breaks a new rule out every time we play....

I don't speak engineer lol

 

[Rruuff Day]

Four more weeks and neither do I!

 

[Jeremiad]

I forgot to take into consideration the axle-back exhaust, and made my guesses based on the car being completely stock. I would guess the exhaust to add 5hp and 8tq, but changing my mind now is arguably not fair. Looking forward to hearing these numbers! Are you excited to drive it now?

Oh hell yeah!

 

[Tinman]

So the final numbers are...
Basline: 362hp/372tq
Tuned: 406hp/415tq

My guess was within: 26
Jeremiad: 43
Nik: 24
Rruuff day: 3
Nascar03: 118

Congrats Rruuff!!!
Pretty stoked with the outcome, should be super fun to drive. Might have to up the tire budget.

 

[Black 03 Z06]

My guess is 406 horsepower and 415 pounds foot of torque.

Have fun Tinman. Congrats Eric, also known as "Mr. Dyno".

 

[Jeremiad]

Wow, Tim! That's some strong numbers and the torque is fantastic!

Congratulations Eric! Now I need to get to work on your prize! Looks like something C7ish is in order.....

 

[Nik]

Respect as always to the LS3, definitely one of the best engines GM put out.
