that cobra must have been modded more than just a ported sc to beat the c6z or the z was in the wrong gear .

Apparently the Z0 needs a driver mod.

That seems about right for a stock Z06 and a 518 rwhp Cobra

I thought a stock Z06 made around 420-440 rwhp no? If so, a 518 rwhp Cobra should have the edge I would think. Maybe i'm wrong here

The Z has weight, gearing and aerodynamics to its advantage. Drive mod

Oh I definitely agree! All I was thinking is that a 400 lb weight difference might not make up for 75+ hp difference if the driver mod was the same. I would think the areodynamics and gearing would be nominal in a race like that, but who knows. I'd love to run one just to see how much of a difference there would be lol
