Default 03-04 cobra Vs R6

i guess all the 03-04 cobras in my area are heavily modded. i went to SAMS club to pick up some pictures and witnessed 3 cobras goin @ it with blue R6. they were all neck to neck each other.. HOLY ****~ of course i was in CTS and i didnt even try.

im guessing they were doing 40-120mph on hwy 10. WOW crazy ppl

blue/black/white cobras vs BLue R6.

i wonder what it takes to keep up with R6.

You know whats funny. I was out racing around Sat night and all I found was a nice new model Yamaha and it must have been an R6 because we ran 2 times from 2-4th and each time I won and he would let off somewhere in the middle of my 3rd. We pulled away STRONG too so it couldnt have been any bigger than a 600. So a KB/Whipple car should do it. I bet that looked sick too on the street.

No numbers yet but my ported eaton setup was good for around 520-540rw and it feels like a beast now compared to that so they should be good as soon as I can get it done. topend power is crazy from like 5k-6,500k. Its a blast to drive now and I wouldnt exagerate a race either.

That wouldn't be much of a race against a R1. He'd be long gone.

Not really shitty dirve on the bike side. From the factory the fastest 600 is only topping at 160ish. Most people on 600's for the first mods they gear them to add some low end torque and make them snappier. Bad thing is this limits the top speed to the 150ish range.

Stock LS1 cars are solid 155 mph cars from the factory, over that if they get into some mods and stay with stock gearing. My Formula has no problems burying the needle well into the 155+ range.

True but by the time the R6 hit 150 the ls1 would be a mile behind him.. Sorry but not Fing way a "2000 Z28 B4C...mostly stock" is going to even come close to an R6. Just isn't happening unless the rider sucks *****.

100% agreed. No chance in hell a "mostly stock" LS1 will be in the same
galaxy as a R6.

Now compare the amount of time it takes a R6 to reach top speed
compared to the time it takes your car. Now subtract the two.
That number represents a football field.
