Interesting runs. Some of those cobras would have done better though if you had an extra passenger as some of them did. Another thing I noticed is that those cobras really lose momentum as they shift, where your car doesn't drop off so to speak, in between shifts. I wonder if the Cobras are losing boost or aren't shifting fast enough. Nice shifting by the way and your car hung with some impressive rides.
Oh yeah, what the hell are wrong with those cammed z's you ran? Is it the driver mod on your car or do you have mods that you don't know about? Like ported factory heads?? Just wondering...

I would say than Im better than your average driver and know my car very well so it is possible like you say that Im out driving some of the people that I race. Remember boosted cars also tend to loose momentum as they make their power thanks to boost, when they **** gears they loose boost and have to build it back up as compared to N.A. vehicles that never "drop off boost"
There is nothing wrong with those cammed Z's and as impossible as it sounds my car is what it is.....
An extremely healthy Intake, full exhaust and tune 04 c5 z06...
I know all the history about the car as Im good buddies with its previous owner (ARMY MAJ)....
There is nothing being hidden here.... Not my style..

Actually I agree with this, your z is pretty efficient it looks like when it comes to putting every pony to the ground, and combined with great shifting, and keeping the revs in sweet spot of the rpm range it's easier to see how you could pull on the cammed vettes. I do wonder though if they were losing traction on their shifts, that would make the most sense.

How do you pull a Whipple Cobra but then loose to a H/C Fbody? I guess you have your shifting down better than your opponents.
Either way, your car runs amazingly strong or has a sleeper cam. Take it as a compliment
but beware of the new 5.0's

I wouldn't make this into a 10 page thread trying to figure out why his car is so fast. every thread on svt blows up too. his car runs very good, and he knows what hes doing. ususally dosen't have a passenger, races his race, ect. just give props and move on.....he makes great videos!!

The H/C Fbody was a LS6 block with an MS3 or 4 cam with heads and FAST intake, CAI, 4'10's, LT's and CB exhaust, drag radials.... etc. (all the bolt ons)
The car was really well set up and the guy got me to do his race and drove his car like a mad man.... Props to him..
There are some really stout and well set f-bodies out there too you know.....
I agree. I made 383rwhp with an intake headers and a ported throttle body and the nearest Corvette Shop says a lot of the bolt on C5zs he does average 385-395. I also saw a few videos of this C5z lose to a 450hp S2000 but yet hes beating on 500+ hp Cobras (the whipple cobra and ported blower cobras) and Cammed C5zs. What gives?

You are right that 380-395 is the average, but sometimes you get cars that fall bellow that or above that.
The S2000 you see on that video is Turbo, weights 2,850 lbs and was making 465RWHP on race gas on those races that we had. The car was super stout and built top notch. Im weighting in at 3150 lbs with 400+ RWHP...
The cobras can weight from 3600-3750 lb depending on if they are coupe or convertible...
Remember that is not a good idea to bench race, there are many variables to a race.... Car set up, Driver skill, traction, gearing, weight, aero, ect....
Some cars just run better than others wether they have the same parts or not

Oh, and thanks.
I agree and thanks
