Blades, Nice job putting that together! The music and scene switches were a good combo. :thumbsup:
On the negative side, my goodness, that's the first Z06 that I've seen driven by someone with a ricer mentality. "See ya!", whatever. He barely pulled and spoke with arrogance

Nice vid!I don't mind saying that if I didn't own a f-body I WOULD own a 03 Cobra, Sonic blue if you please. I have alot of respect for Cobras.As soon as you don't repect it it will bite you and that venom stings for a long time. Then I pick myself up and smack around machs and gt's and all is well again!

Found out the next morning while checking my plugs for any signs of detonation that 2 of my vacuum lines were disconnected. one of which was the fuel regulator vacuum line which tells the fuel sensor how much fuel pressure to apply at any given RPM. This is why the car was falling on it's face up top. no fuel to support the HP.
The race was for fun so it doesn't matter either way.
And to the guy who said I could barely keep up~ It is so sad to see someone have so much devotion to one label/brand that it has you so blinded reality as we know it is scewed for you. Contrary to what some muscle car magazines have lead you to believe there are actually other fast cars out there besides the LS1 platform. I would take the blinders off ASAP before you find yourself getting pulled by one.... And my license plate is in no way, shape or form disrepectful torwards the LS1. Go read my posts over at Ls1.com before you judge me as a person based off a stupid piece of metal.
Later~

Griff... You better pull the blinders off and see that 03-04 cobras aren't the fastest things on the road especially when pulling up along side a modded LSanything. I have plenty of respect for any type of car, no matter the nameplate on it. Yeah I love the LS1 but I know there is always someone/thing faster. I have plenty of Turbo mustangs around here to look up too, you might now some of the names, John- Urist Racing, he's a local, Mike Keenan, Anthony Dickson, who is running awesome times- 7.99@176 in LV with his HP Performance turbo powered ride all those dudes are local and are always at the dyno, cool guys and cool cars. As for being pulled by a 03 04 cobra, Let them try I haven't lost yet. Yep there is always someone faster but I haven't found him yet.
But stick to LS1tech and not the sorry ls1.com site and I will judge you to be a little better
Mario, yep you should stop defending stangs already and buy one, I see you are selling the s/c'ed Z. Have fun, HP performance here in NM makes decent priced turbo kits for them stangs that perform awesome too.
But the ricer comment? I was just stating the obvious 8psi to 19psi, which wasn't an excuse as the corvette beat him.
I love the new cobras and have more videos of them than LS1/LT1 fbodies here on the old hard drive and even have a few MM and FF here on the coffee table

Great video both cars are amazing. The driver of the vette was being a little bit ricer(ok acting very ricer 
). From the way he held up though you gotta respect his driving abilities. I personally wouldn't take the license plate thing to heart too much. Anyone who would put a plate like ls1kilr on obviously realises the abilities of the ls1 and respects it. Otherwise they wouldn't be out to beat the car. That just lets me know the driver of the stang knows what an LS1 is.

First of all, as far as being a ricer is concerned, I'd have to agree that the Z06 driver's comment was totally uncalled for since that mustang obviously had some *****. HOWEVER, putting a tag that says ls1kilr on your car is pretty ricey to me. May just be my opinion, but if you "kill" LS1's (or claim to by your tag) and then get beat by one (no matter the margin) then don't be surprised if the other driver smears your face in it. Now, I will give my respect to that mustang, that was a damn good video and probably the best race I have seen, even better than the stroked ZR1 (man, you could hear that ZR1 rev to the sky!! ) How much do the mustangs weigh? I would definitely say that the vette's aerodynamics started helping it out, but still, amazing race and amazing cars

The Z06 has an LS6 in it, not an LS1, which I'm sure you know. Either way, he has no reason to rub anythin in my face. If you would have heard all the talk coming from him before the runs it should have been me doing the rubbing. 
And there is no need for me to take the blinders off. I know damn well how bad the Ls1 platform is and have been in some good runs with some mighty strong Ls1s over the past few months. Does the 150 shot LS1 ring a bell? 
I am still trying to get his heel out of my a$$ 
Getting the plate was meant for a joke between me and all of my LS1 buddies, but it is quite apparent alot of LS1 owners take it very personal. Why? I have no idea. It is a piece of metal and It's not like I am calling your wife a hooker. I will never understand why so many people take this stuff so seriously. My main objective when I go out running is to meet new people and hopefully make some new friends. Winning or losing a race is irrelevant to me, as long as I have fun.
Thanks again for all of the compliments on my car and look forward to posting more vids and meeting more people on this site.
Take care,
Griffin
