It's just I've seen ported and pullied Termi's have a very hard time against stock C6 Z's... anyway... long thread...good race...Houston racing is some very hidden ****...nobody EVER knows the whole story...

Wish somebody in H-town would PM me to have some fun...I cant ever find ****!!!
Ain't the fastest MF around..But I can hang..
Isn't out of the norm, on paper the GT500 should win but that doesnt seem to be the case.

This was posted on the vette forum a while back....

Up to over 170mph my aerodynamic brick held him off by a 1/2 car or a short hair more, hard to tell.

Don't worry will get some vids soon of different rolls etc...I forgot to charge my gopro!!!

We'll have to run them from various rolls once I get the battery charged on the camera! DOH!

It does take a Cobra more horsepower to out run a F body and a Corvette....it takes more horsepower to push more weight.

They are almost identical stock for stock from a roll with the GT500 having the slightest edge, but it all comes down to driver



I agree.

Hang over at 7am when you have to work all day isn't a fun way to start.

I used to drink a lot. I still do sometimes. But only a bday party or something. I don't get hang overs though no matter how much I drink.

Seems about right. 520whp Cobra BARELY, EVER SO SLIGHTLY pulling a bone stock 440whp C6Z. This video further concludes why terminator Cobra's are pathetic. Bwahahahaha....

It would seem to me that it needed the extra hp to overcome the weight and aerodynamic advantage the Vette has. I might be crazy though.
