Something I've want to put together for a while now just for fun. I've done this with a few of my bros before in a random lobby. Basically we take muscle cars that are in the game and build them to what the same car could have had, options wise, that wasn't included in the game.

For example. Real gear ratios, real rear end ratios, horsepower figures from other engines that were offered etc.

It was pretty interesting to see a stock Yenko Chevelle get completely smashed by a stock 428 CJ Mustang replica, but have a Yenko Camaro keep up. Gears all matching, horsepower matching etc.

It will be up to you to get your options that were available and to figure out what combination works best. Please try to keep cars naturally aspirated. Racing Softs are permitted. Please no race modded cars, street stock only.

Also, no date confirmed as of yet.

Beleive me and KT did the ones with the Yenko's vs the Mustangs. I was really surprised on how badly the Chevelle got ripped on.
 
I'm in. And I can tell agent about it. he would do it. I'm going to do more than one but I want to do all GM cars. And what years? Could I turn like a 90's vette in a 427 also? Also though not thatmany GM cars.

What color for vette White or orange? Or Yellow?
 
Anything. The only thing you are limited to is keeping the options model specific. So no L88 427's in the '90s ZR1.

I know. They made 427 editions for every generation. Also did ford have a car to compete with vettes? Maybe the cobra but that was made for a race car. Not a sports car. Wait nevermind they hade shelby's LOL.

Right.
 
is there a way to lower torque with different parts? Im sopposed to be at 460 Lbs of torque but am at 492...
 
The 69 vette. Need 435 hp and 460 lbs of torque. Also how could i set this trans to be exact? Its hard since it was a 4 gears forward.

1st: 2.20:1
2nd: 1.64:1
3rd: 1.27:1
4th: 1:1
Reverse: 2.27:1

you have the final in right? aka rear end?

You're in luck because the engine/transmission/final gear were also offered in the '71 Mach 1 although weight is slightly higher.

It was horrifying lol

So the tranny is basically the same?
 
I got it. My 1969 427 Corvette is done. I have little more torque but i use just about every upgrade part. Lets see what it can do and find the next project.

Edit

Im going to messs with trans a little more i redline in 4th at 112. I don't use 5th
 
112 is your top speed then. Most of them cars won't see over 120

At swara I'd need to know what transmission is in it. But yes the 71 Mach 1 was offered with a 351 Windsor and 4.10 gears. 3.73s and 3.91s were far more common though
 
I put on the optional rear end they offered. I'm pretty sure the 427 had it. But does a 3.08 rear end sound right? Seems low but it was the best one for top end.

Final is like 4:10 I think, 5 speed manual transmission.
 
I read online that it would top out high 120's and even low 130's dpending on rear end. I put the 3.55 rear end on it. It redlines at 131.

Probably got a T5 in it, your best best is to go with a 4 speed from the early 70s or the c6 3 speed. stay away from cruise-o-matics
 
Can I use a '63 Corvette as the base for a '66 one?

Do we get to tune the suspension to make it as fast as possible?

Stock gear ratios from the real car right?

Also, where can I find these ratios?
