Former 2000 Civic Si owner, bought when new. Love the high revving nature of an NA engine, but lets be real, this is not the type of track made for the Z06. A 7:13 Nurburgring time puts the C7 Z06 with some serious company.

Hey man, I absolutely love your build. I would really like to know what AWD system you're using as I have a similar final build planned myself! I want to use the drivetrain from a 2nd gen CR-V I bought as a donor car, but it's only part-time AWD (FWD until the front slips, and then the rear kicks in) and I don't know how good that system would be on track. How are you finding the grip? Is AWD worth the extra weight? Thankyou so much!
@kawdzilla17 күн бұрын
Appreciate the love man. Message me on IG @kawdzilla and we can chat more. As far as the grip, it’s surprisingly seamless, you really don’t feel the awd “kick in” but you can 100% tell it’s awd as there’s no wheel spin and almost no power out understeer like fwd. Def worth the extra weight imo, car is 2311 lbs. Using wago parts so I can’t speak to CRV setup effectiveness on track.

FYI the heaviest part of the wheel is not always the valve stem. I have my own tire machine and balancer. I spin the wheel without the tire and mark the heavy spot, sometimes its over 90 degrees from the stem and sometimes its right on it. I always match the heavy spot to the light spot and the wheels take very little weight and drive perfect at every speed.

I'd like to add that it MAY be faster in the dry with fewer drivetrain losses and less weight, but OP said it was unimaginably better in the wet being AWD. To be fairer to your argument, it'd be the best it could be in the dry if he put the engine and transaxle behind himself and made a de-dion axle for the rear, and that's both whether he paired that setup with AWD or left it RWD only. I still think AWD will be superior in the wet either way, but at the very least a transverse MR setup with de-dion axle would be faster than your FWD proposal.
