Why don't we keep it to one thread.

Oh and I guess I'll say the same thing I've said here and in the other threads you made about the same thing.

good runs. the way the cobra pulled up top dont think the driver would have made too big of a diff in in the outcome.

thats a bit of a surprise. def thought the z would have caught up and pulled a little up top. some pretty slow shifts, dropped back a 1/4 to 1/2 a car each one.

Good runs man!

Was there a person in both cars while racing??.... Looked to me like whoever was without the extra weight of the camera man had the advantage.

But for the most part, IMHO, the cars looked pretty damn even. You would pull him hard, he would pull you hard. Back and forth, back and forth.

Ya, it seemed whoever had the passenger lost. That Z06 owner did seem to shift slowly.

I like the video, too bad the driver of the z06 sucks. Both cars should have passengers when the race is that close.

o man this is never going to end now with the driver factor and stuff i will admit it seems like the termi had a slight advantage but the z06 driver could learn how to shift better and if you cant drive a ls6 into its powerband then you will not see a good result.

Who ever had the passenger lost. Too bad each car didn't have a passenger to make it even. And the z06 lost like half a car every shift!!!!

Good vid and runs tho

and to be honest i never heard the z06 crack the rev limiter once so i do not think he was getting all the power out of that motor unlike the cobra driver who knew really how to drive his car. Props to both cars and a good vid keep them coming!

Pretty strong cobra ya got. Good runs with the Z too. It did seem like whoever had the passenger got pulled as every car 'being filmed' pulled on the filming car. You two guys look pretty even aside from that.

Good runs! I really thought the ZO6 would've pulled, but he did seem to shift on the slow side. If the ZO6 owner could shift a lil better it would be closer, but I still think you would win. Your vert runs good!

did you have the sound on when you watched the video?


Again, why is the Z racing up to 120+mph with the headlights up? DRAGGGG!!

And the Granny shifting?? How long has this guy owned the car?

Nevertheless, great runs, and the vert moves out for sure.

Seems like whoever had the passenger lost. Otherwise the cars seem pretty even

If you want to run a full bolt on stalled+125/150 Shot Z28 for fun shoot me a PM and we could set something up towards the end of the month.... I about 5 minutes away from RET and should have it tuned for the sauce by then...

The drag shouldn't be considered in this because I would be even with the headlights up the Vette is more aerodynamic than the Cobra.

Like everyone else posted, unless he only has one arm the Vette driver needs to learn to shift quicker.

Nice runs and an impressive heavy *** vert you have there.
