I do believe the Z knocked it off. I am not saying the Slowbra is a bad car, it is a bad car, it is just the Z knocked it off. Plus the vid cuts off the moment the Z falls back, what if he granny shifted & caught up??? Too little vid. Not very conclusive evidence.

spinning sounds logical, was trying to hear a miss-shift but alls i hear is the kb screaming. these things hit 9's with a solid axle conversion, kb, on a stock shortblock. A 430 rwhp vette against a 600+ hp car, there is no fact he left him that bad.

I don't hear any evidence of spinning, they may be hazing, but it sounds like a solid RPM pull to me. A car with instant power, 630 RWHP from a roots blower, does not all of a sudden gain speed like that. The Vette lifted, I think anybody can see that.

My tires make no noise when spinning fyi...and a KB is a twin screw blower. You sure you know what you're talking about?

That cobra pulled the vette like a busa racing a geo...There's no way the vette was on it for more than a few seconds. I wasn't too serious about the 140mph...just saying it would have to mph at least that to pull the vette that bad, if the vette was actually on it the whole time.

The Z06 is my best friend Shannon. He has a 02 Z06 Cartek heads and cam package with lt headers intake and 4:10 gears/drag radials. He car trust me is amazing fast from a roll. The 03 cobra owner,another NC guy has I think around 600 rwhp so that is nothing compared to Shannons 460rwhp.

Ya...and? You've never seen a car get pulled like that? Happens all the time.

This vid doesn't prove much of anything really.

It is Shannon and he knows he got owned! He is a good friend of mine so I know he wont try and wiggle his way out of this one. Or I will have to call him out again!

Hello guys, i am the owner of the Z06.

What actually happen is we both hit it off at around 60 mph. i was fixing to go into 4th and this damn soccer mom in a Expedition pulled out in front of me, so i had to abort..

But let me tell ya, the Cobra was gaining no matter what. i was ready to hear the blowzilla scream ...

Doesn't happen like that with similar cars when one has 600hp and the other has 450...I think the Z06 owner just proved that.

Just talked to some folks, and I think I need to point out something. The video is short because after he "let off" what is the point. The point of the video is the fact that once I got traction I was passing him. He did not want to run again otherwise I would have some better footage. Sorry, for the confussion, I knew what I was saying but apparently others did not.

I have a feeling that if the race would have been able to continue, we would have saw an 03 cobra walk the **** out of a Z06.
