This is from a guy in Powertrain Transmission at GM.

Bummer eh?

 

Solution:

Factory tubbed cars with super wide tires! heheh.

 

And a solid rear axle.

 

Not on a Vette!

 

Darn... too much power!

 

BWHAHAHAHA

Some problems you don't mind having!!

 

Now, that's a good problem to have!

 

Good One

Drag Radials might get them to 40%.

 

et streets stock


i remember when my car was finished

"dude, you cant even go 10% throttle, the tires spin forever."

thats a problem i've always wanted to have



seriously-
they should do what they did with the ZR1-
vallet switch. just call it a performance switch

 

I hope they are talking about the 345's.

 

Alright!!! The first good bad news in a long time!

 

The solution is simple - have the C6 guys consult with Ford's 4.6 L NA group. I understand that they've avoided this problem entirely

 

Just tell them to retro fit a 4L60 or a 700R4 in there it will blow up before they get to 20% power.

 

Hey now - you're giving the 4L60 entirely too much credit

So, now that we've got ETC, how long until we start seeing powertrain calibrations that just plain don't allow WOT in lower gears? There's some history here; Suzuki has used timing retards in a much cruder attempt at performing the same task in their higher-end sportbikes for years.
