Default 02 z28 vert vrs 04 Cobra

Here is the deal gentleman My Sgt. at work just bought a 04 Cobra and wants to race my 02 M6 z28 vert. That is bone stock at the moment but I have the following parts in the garage ready to go on as soon as I can take few days off to install and get a tune.
I have TTS full length headers , Bassani ORY , Borla cat back.
stage 2 ported LS6 heads, F14 cam, and for emergancy purposes a 150hp shot.
I have a 4 point roll bar, DD SFC, and adjustable LCA bit I still have a stock 3.42 rear end.
Will drag radials kill my rear?
His mods that I know of are a pulley on the supercharger and a bassani off road H pipe.
What do you guys think assuming we can both drive who would you bet on?

With you stock it is the 04 Cobra all the way.


Do the mods and give it some laughing gas and you should be cool.



But let the gurus advise further...

You install all those items and you will give a Cobra a good race! I raced a '03 Cobra coupe that i think was stock. He ran a 13.13 to my 13.16. he caught me at the finishline!

With the heads, cam, and 150 shot you shouldn't have a problem with a bolt-on pullied cobra.

Ya i think that if you do the mods minus the nitrous it will be a tough race. They aint to much heavier then a LS1 vert. With a 150 shot it will be easy as pie.

As far as your rearend goes, it is a gamble EVERY time you get on it. Especially if you have DR's and u2 go from a dig. GL man

With those bolt-ons + those heads and that cam you should spank him assuming a good tune and good driving. With the N20 you will easily destroy him, along with your clutch

Better go from a decent roll or without drags you will just spin, with them you will likely blow out your rear

Should be a good race w/o the spray. If you want to humiliate him go to the button...
