Arrow KB/N2O Cobra vs H/C/I Z28 vs 408 SS

A few things to mention beforehand:
1- it was 22* out at the time of the night video, low 30s for the daylight racing
2- Cobra apparently made 700+rwhp
3- Cobra also has a SRA





Enjoy!

Good runs!! Awful that the double power adder 32v v8 had to have the hit.

We were going 130 when the Cobra came around us.

Yeah, Brad had a full car vs Marler having 1 passenger though. What's funny is that when you listen to brad do the burnout in the pimp juice, it's sticky...but the last time PImp Juicewas laid in that spot was over a week ago. Since then, it's been rained, snowed, and salted on...yet all it took was a burnout to get sticky again.

You must've missed the part where I said I was low 30s out.

I heard the cobra also had 28" drag radials... Pretty sad for how bad the traction off the line was, had a solid axle too. Not saying it's slow but it definitely performed pretty bad for what it had done to it. At least in the low end.

Great video as usual! The last race was cool, showing the power the Cobra was making. That Z28 moves out from a dig!

The z28 60' a 1.42. so don't get to down on the cobras launch...also I was wanting to spray when I saw him starting to catch up....but I still had a 150mile drive home...no reason to rish it...I think I was going 130-135ish when he pulled around me...my motor was at 7K+

Sick races. 408 SS was coming back for sure but ran out of gear against the Z. Both those F-Bodys are sick, the Z rolls out hard.

KB Termi obviously didn't have that good of a showing but I think we can give a lot of the credit to the cold weather and "700whp" or however much it makes. I'm just curious, if he was going to spray, why just a 35 shot?

even a small 35 shot can cool a kenne bell off enough to make 60 hp...heat kills those things and nitrous being cold really helps out..even small shots...

Its time for me to quit being a ***** and start spraying my car!!!

Both F bodies were strong runners. The H/C Z tho was really impressive. The Cobra, ehhh not so much. Great video btw

Seems like the 408 car needs to loose some gear.

I like them, they are mean.

I'd have one if I could afford it. Blue like in your avatar is my favorite.
