Just to clear this up.....
Our friend jeremy ran shannon (c6 z06) also, with my camera, and it was on that same video. Its hard to tell unless you look, but both of the races were filmed from the car opposite the Z. The first race was me in my car on motor vs the Z, and the other races where you cant see the Z very well are against a 610rwhp Whipple cobra.
I used two different cameramen, the one who filmed the runs against the whipple was a first timer, and didnt know what he was doing.
Just thought id clarify, carry on.

And yes they do trap that....including my brothers that has shitty sumitomo tires in the rear, and only makes 447rwhp and 494rwtq. I have personally driven his car 120mph in the 1/4....timeslip to prove it. A nice 2.0 60ft....with a 12.1 et at a little over 120. At the SHITTIEST TRACK in the world.....Orlando Speed World.
My car makes around 430-450. I can drive pretty well...and my brother is decent, and I cannot keep up with his car from a roll. I have gone 119 in the 1/4. I have beat many of stock Z06's in my car.
Cobra's weigh a little more than 3600 lbs. I dont see how you can make up the 100-120 rwhp and probable 130-160 rwtq difference by just having a 500lb lighter car.
I just have never seen a stock Z06 even pull a cammed fbody (and have witnessed dozens of races)....much less a h/c f bod or 03' cobra.
Great vid, and you represent well. Just hard to believe.....and if you read this post....I am not the only one who thinks so.

Hey Speedinjection this is the guy from Deltona with the LS1 Car,As much as I hate to say it cuz you got me by a car and a half in your stock z06,here's a little support to help prove that your car just may be stock with a filter .11.9 @118 aint bad for a stock car.Wellll back in 03,LoL!!!The new Z06's are just tooo damn fast

The problem is everyone says "ive raced so and so, and ive seen this vid and that vid" who gives a ****, since you are close, you could come to jax, or we could meet in between and on a friendly basis run since you can undoubtedly pull a stock C5 Z06. If you are making around the same power as this cobra, i guarantee you the race will be about the same as the vid of this cobra. You can look my car up and down if you like, spend as much time doing it as you want. And as i said before, you can have the car if you so much as find a mod besides the filter.
Run a search on me to see that I am not b.s.'ing about my car being down. Not making excuses....
Again, your car runs great and pulls hard. But as you can see, I was not the only one to have a hard time swallowing it. A dozen people have already thought so in this post, and tons more through pm.
You obviously won, and showed well for yourself.....please don't take it as a shot at you personally. There is just too much internet racing that has gone on, and people being full of ****.....or gray areas about a car's mods.............ya know what I mean
I just have seen quite a bit of the exact oposite that I was skeptical.
No hard feelings on my end

at that power level. I can easily see how a Z06 would be on the winning
end of a race with a 470rwhp Cobra though.

I believe it was stock. I have seen cam only camaros beat 470rwhp cobras. I have also been in a Z06 with blackwing and LT's while he beat a 470rwhp cobra. Like said above big weight difference.

What needs to be said is that the Cobra should not have lost, but it did to this guys "stock" car.. Happens all the time unfortunately, some people just get turds and others get ringers. That guy has a turd, the Z06 must be a ringer.. Also what are you cobra guys doing to get such low TQ numbers? at 470rwhp I was at 500rwtq, and it has stayed above that since.. Not ragging on your cars, but that seems a bit low.
