it was a good run but ur off on a few things. my car makes 14#s not 18, its a 2.76/ 4lb lower. car made 513/508. On the second attempt i kinda hesitated a tad but not alot at all....i think with the current setups it will be a drivers race either way. but high end rolls are def. not terminator territory, i though my **** was going to overheat after i slowed down, bish did not like going that fast. good runs caleb, aight holla at you fools tommorow.

I don't know the specifics, but I know some of the downfalls... you hear about people lifting the heads off the block unless they have upgraded head studs. Basically from what I understand, the combination of the boost from the blower and the long 5th gear puts too much strain on the motor.

Yes, it is.. Runs hard doesn't it! 
And there is a LOT left in his setup.
Me and Caleb figured it up last night after we got back.. If you hadn't had the extra **** and he wouldn't have had me he would have been 80#s lighter than when you two ran.
No he wouldn't. The Z is set up for a ton of low-mid range grunt, he wanted a sick street car and that is what he got. He could have went with a 215 or the like and lost some down low while gaining some peak Rwhp but that is not what he was looking for.
Both hooking from a 30 roll it wouldn't be pretty. I think 50 roll would be best for Cobra from a roll... Best bet would be from a dig though because the Z has not had much time practicing launching, Cobra would get it I would assume. Who knows though, Z hates digs.
No reason to be like that man... We are all 3 very good friends that have wanted to see this race for a long, long time. Just like my TA and his Cobra... He knew he would get beat from a dig and I knew I would get beat from a roll. There is no **** talking (just little jabs at each other), just clean friendly runs to have a little fun.
Melt #7...
I knew you would just be drinking this up..
TJ said bring that cute little C5Z you got out to see how she fairs.
And there is a LOT left in his setup. I had just come back from the track and had my spare rims and slicks/tools in the back seat so id say thats around 100 pounds. lemons =170 pounds so your talking about 70 pound difference. The old girl had been beat on at the track then driven an hour before race so it was pretty heat soaked. But like they say excuses are like ********, everyone has one and they all stink. I would like to do a second gear roll but the Z cant hook in 2nd. no doubt the faster we go the Z just has better aerodynamics and is going to have the advantage.

Could have swore those guages were good for 40+Awhp.. Could be wrong though.

Hell yea.. We were going to do it on way to track but wanted to make sure he didn't break to make sure he could run.
Right after I did the vid I thought, "****, why didn't I roll the window up part way?".
I usually am driving/racing/following.. Car isn't running right now though.
