I swear 9/10 videos i see of cobras racing vettes, the vettes always seem to come back and win, despite any huge HP disadvantage.

That is a nice Cobra though.

I would think that would be about normal for a ported blower car.

Cobra was faster just had a not so smart driver throwing it in a od gear while the z is at the top of it's 1:1 pulling

I've had a couple friends with pullied/other bolt-ons never went over 119......but that was in 04-06. I sure there is better stuff for them now.

That engine isn't going to last long if he did put it in 5th gear.


I also thought that the Cobra had let out.



Nice kill to whichever car won.

He did say he was going to burn his 7-8 pistons if he kept going in 5th like that, so it was his last race.
