Was hanging out with some friends and a white cobra rolls up with drs and challenges my friends vette so I said I wanted in on this also. We was told the cobra made like 550hp to the ground. So my buddy races him with his head and cam vette looked good until both missed 3rd. My turn my cars has long tube headers with clutch and, tick and 100 shot I even have stock c5 cat back minus cats and continental tires. I get next to him he honks it off I spin in 1st and 2nd neck and neck and then traction in 3rd and I started to walk him pretty hard had a full car maybe close to 2. I give him the vette wave as I pulled on him and then hit the flashers. Because he was being a typical terminator guy. He stops and talks to my buddy. He said my car was weak for a nitrous car but I make less power and still stomped him. He told my buddy it was a ported blower and made 490hp. sorry no vid this time

Classic kill, Love it. Good job on making the termi owner butthurt too. Do you know what kind of numbers your car is putting up with the 100 shot?

billymz28

No not yet If I had to guess id say 420-450. Like I said the car is pretty much stock beside the headers. I almost want to leave the stock c5 exhaust and wagon wheels on it to keep it a sleeper. When he told my buddy my car was weak for a nitrous car I told my buddy I thought his car was weak for a ported blower car.

IF, IF he really was making 550whp with a ported Heaton he was probably heat soaked for your race.

Haha, had to rub it in with the flashers? Nice kill. And your car is "weak" after you beat him? Guy sounds like a tool.

billymz28

I was thinking to myself and told my buddy hows he going to call my car weak when he got pulled hard. He was being a tool thats why I waved bye to him and then hit the flashers. He told us after words he was actually making 490hp. So who knows. I have a buddy who is pretty good friends with him and has bragged about the car before. Im going to talk to him and get the low down.

Mustang owners have almost as many exuses as honda owners.

490-500 is about right for a ported heaton.......good kill, i bet the stock c5 exhaust isnt as restrictive as you think though.

FOG52

Thats about 50-60 hp less that the OP and it was his 2nd race. Heatons pushing that HP heat soak easily because they are spinning much faster. With heat soak goes the power. Not making excuses just stating facts. A loss is a loss but I doubt he was making 550. 550whp Termis are no joke.

billymz28

Im not saying terminators are jokes either or I wouldnt of wasted my time sharing my story. If you read the first post by me you will see I said we was told it was making 550hp. I didnt think he was making that either. Then after the race the cobra driver told us 490hp. The cobra owner was being a typical cobra douch bag.

A kill is a kill, why would you post it if you didn't want any comments? Or are you one of the guys that just wants to hear nutswingers, or do you want to hear objective comments?

I wouldn't call it an "excuse" when a car that weighs about the same with 100less RWHP wins. I would call it an "explanation" or an "educated guess".

FOG52

Tought so and if he was cruising and racing before you 450 or less is more likely. That was my only point. I'd be surprised if you won against a termi making 550whp but anything is possible on the street with driver mods etc.

SteelCityZ

the guy you quoted is not the OP. could you explain the rest? a cobra and a vette do not weigh anywhere near the same..

good kill

I doubt the termi was heat soaked after one race plus the vette was on street tires

They don't call them Heatons for nothing...

Ok so you are saying that 03-04 cobras can only have one good race to their full potential before they are heat soaked and not worth dick after?

FOG52

Not really but if you cruise a lot and race some its sort of like a LSX running out of Nitrous. Up graded intercoolers help but not everyone has them. It also depends on the ambient temp.
