Default 03 Cobra vs Z06 Vette

Here is some footage of a friend and I settling the age old question will a modded Z06 out run a Kenne Bell Cobra:

http://24.199.202.227/Videos/Vettefun.wmv

NOTE: The race ends by the Cobra walking down the Z06. After reading some posts and talking with others, people did not realize that the end was when the vette let off, I thought it was very apparent by the abrupt end to the video.

Did the Z06 miss a gear or did you really pull him that bad.......KB cars are badass but i wouldn't think the Z06 would get walked that bad......

Agreed, that Zo6 looked like it pulling pretty good until something happened weather it be a missed gear or somethan.

If an 03+ Cobra and a ZO6 are pretty close and if that Z06 was stock than it is not hard to believe that that KB Cobra walked him like that.

Unit how many lbs of boost are the KB's capable of?

21psi is no problem to run. The most I've heard of is 23psi. They make crazy power, BUT it never seems to get to the ground. Chalk that up to the IRS and weight I guess. The power is there trust me. I've driven one that made 660rwhp. The traction however is not there.

Are you just guessing or do you have personal experience with a H/C Z06 and a KB Cobra?

I started in 3rd and was spinning until I shifted into 4th that is why it looks like the Z06 missed a gear. I am at 630rwhp the Vette has the Cartek package. He is a good friend of mine and his car is really fast. My SS gets left by his Vette!

They both hit and the Vette was pulling him, then the vette seemed to quit racing.

either way they are both awesome cars, but I don't think it answers the age old question. You guys should get together again go from a dig and some other rolls make the vid longer than a couple seconds.

Just face it. The Z06 got his *** kicked. It happens from time to time.
It's a damn 630rwhp Cobra. That's what happens when the car beside you has 150+ rwhp more than you.
I don't think there was a missed gear, or stopage of racing on the vette's part. He got walked. Plain and simple.
