Matt doesn't hide his mods. "IF" his story regarding the OP was true, then he was just giving him a taste of is own medicine for messing with the much slower 2V GT... If it wasn't true, then it was all in good fun.
Anyhow, Matt just recently installed the whipple on his car & it has yet to see the strip, but we will know what it runs on Aug 21st.
As far as comparing a Z06 vs. Cobra, & a WS6 vs. Cobra, these are 2 VERY different comparisons. A WS6 weighs almost 500 lbs more than a C5 Z06, which makes a HUGE difference in the outcome of a race.

problem with street racing is its just that... Street racing...
who knows... he could be sand bagging even more than he did by saying it was a pulley ported eaton... it might be a 2.3 car... it might be a 3.4 car on 11lbs...
who effing knows but the owner... IF he even knows...

Nobody is being cocky, you guys are making this a big deal just because that chevy lost lol. I don't know if you guys missed the part where the OP himself said his car traps around 112 with 390rwhp. It should be trapping a little more. Like i said not all cars run the same. For these actual 2 cars the ws6 probably needs 700rwhp to run even with the cobra lol. I think he was running the same times or worse then a bolt on ws6. Im not trying to be a dick but it is what it is.

Their gonna need race gas, meth or e85 to get to that. I'm figuring the guy was on pump. My friends fully built 03 runs around 140. We're talking ported heads, cams, fuel system, straight axle and all the goodies. I think he has a 3.4 whipple and makes about 700 on pump. It's not "easy" for them to trap 138.

Yeah i agree 112 is mild bolt on territory. But usually the Heads/Cam nitrous setups i see are 130-139mph cars. One down here on a 200shot decimated a 137mph GTR from a roll, all on stock bottom end. That's why i said he's a bit cocky if he thinks a heads/cam nitrous setup wouldn't be enough.

Do you know anything about OP's trans am other than what's in his sig? do you have any idea how his car would react to nitrous? every car is different in response to mods, and saying something without factual data is stupid(not saying that you are)
that's probably why your statement would sound cocky for some people.

For you to say that it takes more than heads and nitrous to beat said cobra is a little bit misleading when there are f-bodies trapped 130-140mph with Heads and Nitrous.

Thanks but I know all about those cars. Just saying cobras around here are mostly north of 600. If eaton is still there, it probably doesn't have anymore than 650. Most of em have kenne bells, whipples, or twins, and if u want to play u better have 700 or more.

what eaton cobras do you know of that make anything close to 650?? A strung out ported eaton barely nears anything over 500... and even thats not the easiest thing.
