S/C Z06 Vs 500 Hp Cobra

hmmm...looks like a serious heads/cam vette versus 500rwhp cobra. A blown corvette will make around 450-475rwhp 7psi, and 500rwhp with 8-10psi or so. How do I know, slowhawk has a C5 with a procharger, mild tune, and headers and he has run the best of 10.7 @ 129mph. That was on a mild tune as well (fat and no timing). Perhaps the C5 was running 5psi? What I tend to notice is that LS1 fbodies need 50rwhp less to run the same mph in the 1/4mp as a cobra. We can assume the same for a vette for comparison sake. It would seem the vette only needs 450rwhp to run that cobra...450rwhp means little boost or a nice heads/cam setup. JMO. I wish we knew more about the vette.
Edit - now that i watched it again, and saw the hood, perhaps the ZO6 has a magna charger with low boost?

Two badass cars though.

How could you tell the cobra wasn't? just curious.
All i could hear was the vette shifting slow.... even as he pulled away. I couldn't hear the stang at all. wish i could tho... love the sound of the cobras.

that 40 shot the cobra has prolly put him over the vette...and i gues the slow shifting of the vette would account to the race being as close as it was... seems to me like the vette shoulda pulled a little more though...nice vid and race though

It looked like the vette was peadling it to let the Cobra stay close?
I thought he was playing around with Cobra?
Both cars were not driven to there full potential
Cool race none the less

As I said previously, broke7 is a great driver. The Z06 just had too much. Plain and simple.
