09 CTS-V vs. 03 Whipple Cobra Recently picked up a V + had my first race.
V needs a little tranny tuning ironed out, it's hitting the rev limiter every shift. Other than that, it's running strong.
Both cars are putting down a tick over 600rwhp.

As to why I started behind him..that was me being a little over zealous/arrogant, lol. I figured I'd pull him harder than I did, so I wanted video of me reeling him in and passing him...guess it didn't work out like I planned, eh?
Either way, the owner of the Cobra is cool and his car is awesome. I look forward to racing him again once I get my tires on and transmission tune ironed out.
Oh, my V is at 616rwhp/617rwtq and if I recall correctly, the Cobra is at 605rwhp/650rwtq (I might have the torque wrong).

The V was getting them groceries, want to see it with the tranny gremlins taken care of, and a set of real tires. Then go from a dig and take the rape card back!

Indeed. It was like hitting a wall every shift. I fretted quite a bit over getting the automatic (I'm a manual guy), but the auto simply seems to be a lot faster. So yea, it sucks that it's not dialed in right now.
