Z06 Corvette vs 2JZ 240SX | Driver Battles
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The last time Peter Hong brought his Nissan 240SX S13 to Driver Battles he only just barely lost to a driver who put up the fastest time in Driver Battles history. Unfortunately for him, it’s going to take another huge effort if he’s going the win this time against Jake Rozelle and his Corvette Z06. Both cars have seen engine swaps, aero added and gobs of power, so if you like fast cars and quick times, this is the episode of Driving Line’s Driver Battles for you.
0:00 Intro at Chuckwalla Valley Raceway
1:11 Jake's C5 Z06 Build Breakdown
2:20 Peter's Nissan 240SX Build Breakdown
4:37 Driver Battles: Time Attack Rules and How To Compete
5:27 Time Attack Hot Lap
7:37 Impressions from the Track
9:52 Final Track Results
Let’s start with the cars, which have both been transformed from stock into time attack missiles. Peter Hong’s 1989 Nissan 240SX S13 may be the same base car as the last time he was on Driver Battles setting the second-best time in series history, but it’s now a much different, and faster, car than before. Most importantly, the old SR20 engine has been swapped out for a much more reliable 2JZ putting out 600hp. He has also added a Comp turbo 6062, 350Z transmission, AEM Infinity ECU, tons of aero, Wedsport TC105X wheels and 315/30ZR18 Nitto NT01 tires all around.
While Jake Rozelle had initially intended for his 2003 Corvette Z06 to be his daily driver and part-time track car, an 800hp Lingenfelter LS7 swap under the hood reveals that that plan went out the window a while ago. On top of the new engine, he has added a TR6060 close ratio transmission, Ignite E90 fuel, JRI shocks, Wilwood disc brakes, Forgeline wheels and 315/30ZR18 Nitto NT01 tires all around.
With both drivers sporting years of seat time behind the wheels of their respective cars, along with a ton of power, both are gunning for the best time ever set around Chuckwalla Valley Raceway. Not to give the end away, but we were equal parts shocked and impressed when we saw the times.

I’ve personally raced/battled with Jake a lot over the last 4-5yrs in several series. He is incredibly hard to beat. Not to mention He is a engineering stud, and a hell of a driver. The father and son build of this car is incredible. Sponsors if you’re watching this and need a driver give Jake a chance. If not hit me up please ;)

We picked up the poop but we left it in the video just to see if anyone else would notice. Great eye!
I love the sound of high reving Ls! That purple is spot on 👌
Well sorted Z06. 800 N/A hp is pretty wild. Car was struggling to put it all down. Seems like if it had a bit more tire in the rear and a little less power, it would be a couple seconds faster on that particular track. Love the sounds coming from that built LS.
Sounds like 180° headers. Fantastic. Need more solo videos on that Vette.
Over 20 years difference between the engineering and just seconds difference in time. The Corvette may have passed the finish line first but the Nissan 240sx won all the respect of still showing out on new technology.

Yeah absolutely, that Corvette being 19 almost 20 years old is impressive, a lot can be done to it to make it even faster. That 20 year old Corvette he was driving is C5, they C6 was better, the C7 was better, and the C8 was even more better, that Corvette DNA is insanely impressive. I'd give up my S14 in a heartbeat for a C6 or above Vette.

I agree with you both, for being 20 years old the C5 Corvette is such a great value, got a 25 year old 1998 C5 for only $9k, their values are so good for the performance.

I can't argue with you both, you are right Maria and kyle, that purple Corvette being 20 years old is so impressive even for todays standard. I maybe a jdm fan and was rooting for the 240 but that was unfortunately a slaughter, I'd expect the s13 with 2jz to be closer to the old C5 but that was such a big difference, 3 second difference, at the short chuckawala track that's over 10 car lengths behind. Coming from the most diehard jdm guy I'll give props to Corvette.
I dont get how you are so small! This content is great and the cars are dope. New sub!
Love theese!....keep`em coming

Sick run
New subscriber here! Good shit!
That Z06 is a BEAST.
Awesome content. I wish the car scene centered more on time attack stuff versus roll racing lol
NICE!
Whenever I saw it was Jake I knew game over for the other guy. I really want to do this!
Vette ftw!
Dog took a shit in the background 🤣🤣
New sub! Liked 🙏😀😛😊
This show is super fun... Consider me subscribed.
So awesome to see cars driven the way they were meant to be. NT01s, amazing time attack tire.
Those Corvettes are no joke! they have yet to lose on this show lol
Dog takes a dump @10:00. Can you find him? ;)
How am i just finding out about this series!!!
That Vette even sounds fast.
Is there any way to add more engine data and telemetry while driving? Just an idea to add more visual aides for the data nerds!

I'll just say the Lingenfelter Eliminator V8 the corvette was running makes 645 ft lbs of torque at about 5600 rpm and 820+ horsepower at about 7300 rpm naturally aspirated. Id estimate it makes 380 ft lbs at 1000 rpm. It also uses a tr6060 from the C6 ZR1 with a 3.90 rear end. The eliminator is based on the LS7 but beefed up in every way and actually has a 36k mile 3-year warranty which is mindboggling that the warranty alone is 36k miles. I hope that helps a bit.
Well certainly not as popular as BRZ vs S2K... that was what viewers really wanted to see...
GM performance is no joke
That guy couldn't have chosen a better engine for that 'Vette! I live the C5 anyhow, and the widebody with those wheels...Oooh -WEE!
200 hp more, I would think so

put 200hp more in the 240 and it'll do 1 maybe 1.5 seconds faster, not 3
Dam that big boy motor vette with a professional driver barely drove away from a little inline 6 240? #jzganggang

3 seconds on a sub 2 minute lap is more than barely driving away. 2 laps in and they wouldn't even be on the same straightaway anymore.

i know i'm surprised too, being a big jdm fan and driving a s14 was rooting for the jdm guy but not knowing much about american cars, especially a old c5 i didn't know they were capable of that. i've raced at chuckwalla and 3 second different is like 10 car lengths behind which is surprising for a 2jz. they both still killed it, running s14 with 430hp sr20 and advan a052 i only got 2:01, both those guys hitting sub 2 is great.

Professional Driver? When has Jake being paid to drive in a professional league? This is a sore looser comment because your fan car didn't win.
