Again, not bashing any car here, just saying that the numbers did not match the race.
I pulled a lot of 600-700 rwhp Cobras in my N/A 500 rwhp vette. It doesn't always make sense but it happens so deal with it.

I swear Stoppy, you must be the biggest example of someone on this site who talks down to cars that are faster than yours. Bigger than Autobitch lately. I wish you were in the Chicago land area, I'd love to give you a friendly run with a healthy bolt on LS1.

Whoa...don't take offense, man. I am not knocking on any car here and I like both makes of cars.
I was just stating that in most cases, a lighter car , in this case the Cobra, making more power (@ approx 370) would pull a 345hp car. I know there are many other factors such as traction but I did not hear the Cobra spinning.

As for a 500Hp Vette and 6XX Cobra, hell yea I can believe that!! It usually takes a Cobra about 100 extra Hp to run with a Vette because of weight and aerodynamics..
Don't take offense. Only having a conversation..

Again, I have dealt extensively with both and I disagree with you. You should get off the forums, turn some wrenches and race some cars and then come talk to me

You think that 25 HP is going to be the deciding factor? How about looking at a dyno graph and seeing where these cars are making power and torque and for how long?
