Whippled 04 Cobra vs H/C/n2o C5 Z (video)
 

I took my Z06 out for a cruise tonight. Just minding my own business.. I learned my lesson from last night when I forgot the gopro's though. Anyway, I put both of them on my car and head out tonight.

It was a beautiful day in mexico...

A silver 04 Cobra is in my rear view, and pulls up next to me. This thing sounded mean. Bad memories of another one I raced in the past came back to me.. When I had my old bolt-on 02 SS and tried racing one with a jet engine under the hood that totally destroyed me.

Anyways, so he lines up with me and we both slow back down for a 40 roll. He beeps it off and we go. I instantly pull out a car on him (we both left at the same time) and keep pulling from there. By the time we shut down I was 3-4 cars up on him.

We both get off at the next exit and pull over in a parking lot and talk to eachother. One of the coolest guys I've ever met. Real stand up guy. It had a whipple on it and it was making 610rwhp. He had DR's and full suspension too.

My Z06 makes 540/590 with the 100 shot. It makes 440/405 on motor with a cam/head setup. Felt good finally beating one of these things.

I'm having some trouble editing my gopro video though on my computer. The whole video was 13 minutes long and I only need 20 seconds out of it.... And windows movie maker wont let me edit it either. Wont even recognize the file in my folder. I took a video on my phone off the video playing on the computer though. lol.

Heres a picture...

I cant wait to get one..

Good kill!

Thanks man!

Did you race him on juice or all motor?

I sprayed him. I think he would have taken me on motor.

Good kill!

I don't see and video but I am on a company computer.

:confused: But I do normally see video's. :(

Nice Kill. Why can't I ever get lucky enough to roll up beside a Whipple or KB cobra.... or even a TT?

Good call on spraying it too. He probably would have had your number on motor.

Thanks guys. It's the first one I've ever been able to beat. I raced a exhaust/CAI only 03 cobra in my bolt-on 02 SS that pulled a car on me... And one that had a twin turbo setup that put train lengths on me with my SS also. It's always fun to have a good challenge. He mentioned doing an e85 setup for it over the summer... So I might be in a little bit of trouble.

You're not in any trouble. From the looks of that video, he needs another 50whp just to make it close. Then you can move to a 150 shot and still blister him.

i can tell you had a good prediction on how the race was gonna go... considering the direction you pointed the camera haha

If you want help with that let me know, I can see if I can arrange something for you ;)

I don't know where Upstate SC is, but I'm in Downstate NC.

see what happens when you put the camera on!? races. I would LOVE to have awesome of luck though...the only time I ever see a car I wanna run is when I am in my work truck :( such bullshit.

Anyways good kill and thanks for posting the video this time! lol

Downstate? haha, Lowerstate maybe.

I'm about 15 miles from GSP Airport. If you want to meet up halfway one weekend or maybe even weekday, I would love to get a couple of runs in.

LoL, I was wondering which side of the state you was on the upper side of. I'm on the Myrtle Beach side.

That side is 6 hours from me...little too far.

You go from 405lb tq to 590 on spray? What kind of system is it? Wet? Plate/maf kit?

It's a nitrous outlet setup. Wet.

That's a little far for me too. Maybe i'll catch you during mustang week. I will probably be there a couple of days to hurt some feelings of those hoping to beat a stock looking Z06 :burn:

I got lucky once when I was in my boosted vette and got to run a KB 03 Cobra with a 5.0L stroker. He ran like hell, but I put him down.

Hmmm mustang week : ) good lord of mighty.. There's a few bases here in nc and atleast 45% of the cars on base are mustangs... No shit you can add up all the sport cars gm and dodge makes and even civics in there and the stang population is still on top... I seen only about 6-8 legit fast cobras.. Trapping 125-135... 10.8-10.3 fastest.. That I seen at the local strip. Street cars mind you. The rest of them are high 13+sec cars if there actual Gt's and not fake.. Happens a lot. V6 cars putting gt badges or even cobra body kits and makes 16 sec pass all day
