I'm going to venture a guess that it would get buttraped by either car. But setup has a lot to do with it, as well as what race it is. If the 500rwhp F-body is on bigs and little with good DRs and a big stall, and the other cars are on street tires and stock suspension setups, it could be ugly from a dig.

OP - for the most part, the fbod will virtually have no chance. The ONLY chance it will have is if it has a MUCH BETTER dig setup and that's where the run is. Other than that...kiss yo *** goddbye.

I can speak for the Cobra...it would *** whoop the 500rwhp fbody. I'm assuming that the fbody in this scenario isn't a gutted out drag car that weighs 2,800lbs with a 'glide, 28" slicks, skinnies, a 5,000rpm stall converter, etc.
