Nice runs! I would have to say a stock 5.0 would beat a stock termi. Bolt on, IDK. I wouldn't consider a pulley a bolt on though...increasing the boost is not really a bolt on compared to a car thats N/A.

Good kill and car sounds great!! But TBH I have a really hard time believing you were able to put 2-3 cars on him. You wasnt really pulling him that hard and it was only a few second after he was out of view that yall shut down. Also he was taking a slight jump but yall also werent lines up evenly. It looked as tho the vette was in front a bit at the start of every race.

The first run (40-135ish), if you pay attention you can see him really small in my mirror. That to me looked like 3 cars or so.
The second and third run (40-125ish), you can also see him in my mirror just not as much as in the first race, he took the hit and hence why my pull wasnt as strong as in the first run. Once I put it in 4th is when i would start to have a nice pull
The guy was a great street racer and knows the tricks of the trade, you have no idea how much of a huge impact it is when a car is rolling a little faster than you at the start and takes the hit even if he is behind a little bit it doesnt hurt him because he will be carrying built momentum with him. Its usually very hard to make that up, unless you have a clearly more powerfull car.
Another thing you might want to consider is that the car had 3.73s, he was having to shift to 5th when I was just starting to hit my sweet spot in the power band in 4th. Gears are great for low rolls but usually will hurt you a little if you have to go to 5th to finish a race.
It is what it is, thats what it looked like to me, again its all a matter of perspective and opinion.

Edit: Do you really put down more power? Im thinking the 5.0 might make more but its your weight advantage thats making you the faster car.

Im not sure if I make more power or not, maybe even or maybe even he puts out more. But I know I have the better power to weight, the race proved that. I definitely didnt out drive or out smarted him as I believe it was actually the other way around, it just wasnt enough to over come my car.
I should only be making around 400rwhp give or take a few...

Were you able to see what I was talking about once you see the vid full screen?

Thats the power i fingured you would be putting down. If hes full bolt on he should be putting down a good bit more. Power to weight ratio is everything tho imo. Gotta love vettes!

Hmmm...the 5.0's from what I've seen seem to pull pretty damn hard stock. But honestly, I don't remember the last time I've even seen a stock cobra around here for a comparison. I'd love to see a matchup between them stock for stock with good drivers. Would make for an interesting race.

I actually really like 5.0s and would more likely than not pick one over a cobra even though I like the cobra much more when its done right and taken care of. The reason I would pick the 5.0 is because its new and it hasnt been abused like a lot of the cobras out there and unfortunately you never know what you are getting when you are getting it used.
Yup i seen what you were talking about!! U need put some damn siveraldo mirrors on that thing!! lol Damn tiny vettes!!

If the op has some track times it would squash his whole argument , a bolt on z06 and a tuned bolt on c5 z06 would be a tight race . I dont care what anyone has to say about it.
