Default 02 Z28 v 96-98 Cobra *video*

Lets try and keep this one from turning into a "who has the better engine" post.

Went out last night to see if there was anything going on and sure enough we had a 2013 ZL1 vs a 2013 GT500 wanting to run. The ZL1 missed a gear and was bus lengths behind the GT500 at the finish.

Well we were standing at the race spot and a guy with a 96-98 cobra and I start talking and decide to race. We went from roughly 15-120.

Cobra steals the hit and jumps out a car, I start to slowly real him in and pass him around 100 or so.

The guy was pretty cool. We got back to the meet up and he pops his trunk and shows me a nitrous bottle, saying he usually runs a 150 shot but wasn't using it tonight. all around it was a pretty good race and great to meet some new guys outside of the usual scene.

Sounds about right, good race . Your's a 6spd?

Edit: As you are coming around him you can see/hear him come into his powerband and slow your approach. To no avail, of course. If I had an N/A 4v it would get 4.30s.

Edit again: I bet this hits 7 pages by the end of the weekend.

Nice kill. Always cool when both drivers respect each other's car before and after the race

Definitely, I have a lot of respect for guys that are cool no matter who wins. It's just a race, and there is always another right around the corner.

Seems about right. My 97 Cobra is quicker to 60mph than my 98 formula, but dear god the LS1 pulls like all hell after that.

Even better kill with you carrying the passenger op! It woulda be a horrible dragging w/o a passenger and a even hit.

Being the Cobra had 4.10's, Intake, got the hit, and you had a passanger, I would say the race looked about right. Nice Kill!! Take the passenger out and leave at the same time, I would estimate a 3 car win.

A steady, slow walk is not a "horrible dragging." All said, looks like the cars would be 3 or 4 tenths apart in the 1/4.

Are you kidding me?? The LS1 was the one doing the all pull stopping, after the Cobra notoriously ricer jumped like most mustang drivers do. The only thing that cobra SLOWED was itself.
