Good run, I doubt that cobra was making that much hp but I don't know. I know my car is putting down 576rwhp and 548rwtq and I put an *** whooping on a c6 z06, you seen the vid. Your car looks like it runs strong. I'd like to race it.

Definitely sounds like a KB to me! Nice kill Slow Vette. That KB Cobra sure doesn't represent the rest of us that's for sure. Regardless, you kicked his *** badly.

I'm not exactly 03-04 savvy so it could be. I'm just stating my opinion.

Im pretty sure a 03 cobra weighs around 3800 pounds and a mach1 weighs around 3300 pounds...

That 500 pounds makes a HUGE differance...

As well....Dosent the mach1 have a stronger heart pumping the blood to your TT's than the 03 cobra's pumping the blood to the SC??? Talking engine size here????

If so..lighter weight and stronger engine make a HUGE differance...

Ive seen vids of 450 rwhp Cobras haveing a hard time with cars that trapp 120 mph....Slowvettes Z06 with it's simple mod is a 126-128 car in the right conditions...Cobra needs around 600 rwhp IMHO..especially if it's a vert..

Are you ever right about anything? A Cobra with zero weight reduction mods weighs 3,655lbs (coupe). I don't know what a Mach1 weighs so I won't comment on that.

Agreed, but "stronger" means more power...not more cubes as you stated.

I've seen vids of people running 14's in C6 Z06's. "Seeing vids" means nothing when we know what happens in the real world with real drivers. I trapped over 120mph with 460rwhp in my Cobra....and at 600rwhp...trap speeds are 132-133mph. You have zero experience with any of these cars so quit bench racing already. Sheesh...

Nice kill, man! It was definitely surprising to see the Cobra fall that fast as I figured it would be a pretty good race on the highway with those power levels. Bad driver in the stang?

I don't think I've ever seen one post with more misinformation in it.

A stock Mach 1 weighs right around 3460lbs. I can't speak for Dan's car, but I think he has at least a little weight reduction going on.

Its quite obvious that the z06 is not stock. I'd say he has atleast a 200 shot on the car. bwahaha

Keep in mind turbo kits aren't exactly light as a feather.
