How much hp?

How much rwhp would a C5 Z06 need to keep up with a Cobra making around 450-475?

If it is indeed your car that you speak of, then I would say you should be able to keep up with if not outrun him now. There is a good bit of weight difference there.

You have him by a few hundred pounds, you will kill him.

It's all in your driving. I could take him with my SS, and I am @ the same rwhp/rwtq level as you in a heavier car.

Heres some fun to play with 03-04 cobras. Ask owner the following questions before a race. RWHP? BLAH BLAH BLAH, Do you have the head cooling mod? if the answer is no or whats that. This is your next reply no matter what HP you have. Lets run and the best outta 5 runs we'll call a winner. By the 4th pull the thing will be so heat soaked and if not tuned the best it'll have melted pistons and some nice ashtrays. Its Really really common for them if they do back to back pulls. Just get him going and say you missed 4th gear on the 1st 2 runs. Thing will be heat soaked and down 20-40rwhp and you can start mopping. Its called the cobra meltdown run!

Oh

I do speak from experience on this.... and lets just say I wasnt the one driving the non-cobra

Plus i've seen this happen numerous times. That head cooling mod is really important for the modded cobras doing back to back runs.
