Default Took Down A 550 Rwp Cobra Tonight

So i take my brother's C6 Z06 out tonight for a ride and run into someone from highschool whos daddy had just bought him an 04 cobra. hes one of those spoiled **** talkers who thinks his **** is better then everyone elses. anyway first time i see him is when we go to in and out to eat. he starts in on how Z06s arnt **** etc. i let him talk then see him later at a light. i swear hes just itching for a race. anyway he gives me the "look" and i know whats gotta be done. the light for the other lane turns yellow and i start to get ready. it hits green and im gone. all i see is headlights behind me. i let off and he does the normal ricer fly by. god i hate people and i cant wait for his excuse for why he lost. always gonna rember it cuz its the first kill for that car

Always nice to see **** talkers put in their place but are you sure it was a 550whp cobra?

That was without a doubt, one of the shitiest kill stories I've ever had the misfortune to read. Nice description Dude and in your Brother's "supposed" C6Z06 no less. Pics or vids or it didn't happen.

I can and can't believe this story.

Can:
1.) The cobra does weigh a bit more than the c6 z06 which helps the power to weight ratio..so I can see you edging him out.
2.) Since it's his new car so maybe he doesn't know how to drive it yet..driver error?!?!

Can't:
1.) The cobra wouldn't be that far behind you if it had 550whp.
2.) Kid is lying about the power it makes!








Just my opinions ...

We all should just get dash mounted cameras and it all would be solved. I know there has been times I wish I had one.. But GOOD kill. There too could be all kinds of factors, shitty driver, lack of power, etc.. but never the less Good one

slow down.

he's been talking about his z06 in general forum. and it was gotten due to bad circumstance.

so lets chill on calling BS.

was the cobra even racing?

Ok, I'll back off on the Z06 but a stock C6 Z would'nt run and hide from a 550 RWHP Cobra unless the Cobra wasn't racing or the Cobra's driver sucked *****. A race with equal drivers would be pretty freakin' close actually with the Z having the edge as the speed went up. Then again, anything can happen on the street. The original poster needs to work on his posting abilities a bit. There's absolutely nothing to go on with his post. Later folks...

This has got to be the gayest kill I've ever read. Sounds to me like the original thread starter is jealous of this highschool guy. Who knows?

Wait a minute, ..., Who are you?!?
Yea okay, Nice kill.
Way to go speed-racer! You take'em down one-by-one!

(Okay, where's the preachers on the street-racing?!?)

Do you have a digital camera yet? Take a photo of you & the car for us all to see. What color is it? C6-Z06 is the 'shitz' dude, ..., sweet rides.

It seems like the only ones who dont believe the story are the cobra owners. Maybe yall can take the story over to SVTperformance and say stupid **** over there. Have yall not seen that video over in the multimedia section of the 440 horsepower +100 shot nitrous keeping up with the 600 horsepower +50 shot. And the Z06 weighs less than a camaro. The z06 is no joke.

I think it's the HP claim that the don't believe, not necessarily the kill. If it was indeed a 550rwhp Cobra, it would have put up a fight enough to actually write about, instead of "oh, we took off, he was in my rear view, and he did a flyby".

Possibilities:
  1. Not a Cobra
  2. Doesn't have 550whp
  3. Not enough details

I still think its possible for a C6 z06 to take down a 550 hp Cobra. Dont get me wrong, I like Cobras.

I'm inclined to agree, but such a kill would at least be read-worthy. We're not talking about burning ricers here.

I agree, the story sucked. The cobra would definetly be close behind.-

It's definitely possible.
