Default Bolt on C5Z vs H/C Camaro and a few others...

Did some racing this weekend at a large event in Mexico. My car is exactly what the title says, Longtubes, X, intake and a tune...

The first race was against a Camaro that is tuned for spray, but he said its making about 430 on motor...so we went from a 40 roll...

ps..my girlfriend was half in the bag, trying to record with 2 cameras and almost dropped her phone out the window...hence the comments at the end lol

So then, he had a buddy with a Genesis that wanted to run. Didn't think much of it...

http://youtu.be/P0cShmBSmAE

So that didn't work to well for me at all. I almost missed third, but he was coming around me regardless. Talked with the guy afterwards, and I guess its just a big turbo car. Ran good thats for sure!

The next night, a pullied cobra that he said was making 480 at the tire wanted to run. It was about 75-80* out, so he was prolly making a bit less...but again from a 40 roll

He needs driver mod. Bad.

After that, a buddy of mine just got his 01 N/A Cobra back together...Not going to say much about the car because I didn't ask if I could...so heres the race

http://youtu.be/SdrxRMT6-FM

So that was all for my weekend...all in all, won 2 and lost 2 so I'm good with that. Also, I think everyone I raced is on this site so I'm sure they will chime in! Hope you enjoyed!

That Genesis moved! The Cobra was pretty cool too. He was spinning that engine high!

Cobra owner doesn't mind. Its a 5.0 stroker, ported heads, cams, FR500 intake, t56 w/3.73's. Its a bit under geared right now but yes it goes over 7000 rpms.

hmm not bad must be heavy. Do you now the compression? Car should run a little better then that imo. Gears will help alot tho so maybe it will change.

I agree. What can you do man? There is ALWAYS someone faster.. Drop a Procharger in that 'Vette and show the Genesis who is boss!

its 10.5 to 1 right now and its only got 300 miles on it so it will probably gain a few once it gets fully broken in. And it has blower cams timed for a blower, so its not 100% optomized for NA. Car weighs 3300 I think w/o driver.
