Default Cobra vs Z28, Round 2 **VIDS**

Well guys, round 1 started a 15 page thread, so have at it!

Same cars as last time (1997 Cobra and 1994 Z28). The only changes between these runs and the last ones are the addition of 1.6 roller rockers and upgraded valve springs in the Z28, and a bit of weight shuffling (last time there was a passenger in each car, this time only the Z28 had one, but it also had a bit of weight reduction).

On a side note, if anyone asks you to change valve springs on an LT1 fbody that has stock manifolds tell them to **** the hell off.

Nice races

Kinda weird that the Cobra pulled back hard midway through the drag race but not so much from a roll.
Is he a shitty driver by any chance?

I can't watch the video at work but sounds like you guys were sneaky and STILL lost to the blue oval. Ahhh, the story of a GM owner's life.

So far the races between these two cars hasn't gone the way we guess it would. The dig race made me scratch my head too, with the Cobra charging hard down low, and then it hit a wall up top and couldn't keep pulling away.

As for his driving, he did bobble a shift on the first race, but overall he's better than average. The car has run 13.5 @ 104 mph as it sits. No numbers on the LT1 in it's current state, but it put down 272 rwhp on a Dynojet, before the rocker and spring upgrade.

I think being sneaky would imply that we tried to hide something at some point, lol.

Any fast Hondas down that way? I heard they're all turds.

A bobbled shift would explain the weird back and forth pull on the first race.

Looks like it was fun.

Who's joking, fast Hondas are serious business. I got my *** kicked by one at the track once. Then my friend was supposed to avenge me in his pullied Cobra, but he got his *** kicked too. Some ringer he turned out to be

It was a blast for sure. We would have liked to get a few more runs in, but traffic was starting to pick up so we called it quits.

Why didn't you guys switch the passenger to the cobra and rematch the races to see how much of a difference it made?

Looked pretty even to me with a slight edge to the lt1 with passenger removed from it.

Stopsign..I think it was a mistake posting that thread about getting beat by that Honda. It looks like you are not going to live this one down for a while at least.
I am sure some people on LS1Tech or SVTPerformance have been beaten by a fast Honda at one time or another but they probably will not post it up.
I look at getting beat by a Honda like banging a fat chick. You went and did it (had fun), but you do not want any of your friends knowing about it.......see what I mean?

Put a stall in the Z28 and then put 4.10's in the Cobra that will on hell of a matchup. Good runs it looks to me that the Cobra is a little bit faster than the Z but you put a M6 and a decent driver in a Z and I believe it would win. Good vids and I like the music choice as well.
