Doesnt matter if he has 10k miles on after market heads and a fully forged bottom end while you have 400k miles on bone stock bottom end and stock heads, if he is faster he is faster..

Are you trying to race the cobra from a dig or from a roll? While staying beside him NA of course.

you almost NEVER want to race a cobra from a roll. not unless you have a power adder. even i know those things are REDICULOUS from a roll. Ill prolly end up racing him from a roll but by that time my car will be drinking protein shakes....

No, Zo6s are ridiculous from a roll. A stock Z will make a stock cobra look silly from a roll.. It takes a bolt on cobra to hang with, not beat.. hang with a stock Z.

It doesn't take a power adder either it just takes more than what you or the other guy have.

I agree, Cobras are much much much much MUCH more deadly from a dead stop if they have sticky tires. From a roll they are average. Now a Corvette from a roll is nothing to sneeze at.

That is true.. People say cobras can't launch for ****.. No, they can cut VERY good sixty foots. Usually much better than fbodys with the same tires.

I can assure you my Cobra has no problem at all cutting good 60's. And I can hook up just fine on the street too. Now from a roll my car isn't all that. Mainly because of the gearing.

Haha ****, why did that make me lol

Anyway, who ever said Cobras couldn't cut good 60 fts? I always assumed once the wheel hop issue was dealt with, it was sunshine and rainbows from there on.
