Hey op this is off topic, but do you know if the cobra owner has any exhaust vids? I have an o/r x and bassani's and am really thinking of switching to the lm2's but cant make up my mind.

With each shift it was falling out of it's power range for longer. That's why the cobro pulled at the end. More than likely the vette had no gear either making the problem of not turning it hard enough worse.

I would hardly call the C5 base coupe the "flagship" when the Z cars exist. All the Cobro's realize this is the same LS1 as in 4th gens right?

Anyway, I thought it was a good run. Cobro runs well. Still some room left for improvement on that cammed LS1, but it was close and those are the best type of races

The Corvette as a whole is GM/Cheverolet's flagship sports car. I fully understand its the same LS1 that comes in a camaro. Just a lighter, two seat, fiberglass, sports car cant beat a basic pullied Cobra. Yet all the Fail-body nut swingers with a lid/catback love to think they would put multiple greyhound lengths on me are talking out their ***.

I hardly call changing the altitude a engine runs at basic. Is it a easy change.....yep. But basic is not a term I would use.

Basic would be something not requiring a tune to me.

So if a GM guy said during the same model year that a super turdy 260HP Mustang GT was Ford's flagship sports car, you would be OK with that?

Nah man I don't, this weekend I will see if we can get one. Actually here is a video of that night when he dropped me off, car sounds ******* amazing with his setup.

The last sports car that Ford built was the GT in 05 & 06.

Correct! Meaning Ford has only had a flagship sports car for 5 years of it's entire existence

No arguing that. They don't care to build them I guess.

The vette was pulling on the cobra before each one of it's shifts. A better driver would have put that pony to shame easily.

I totally agree. I hate when guys are afraid to push their cars.

So to you, changing a pulley on a Cobra isn't "basic," but swapping an LS6 into your car is...got it.

Cobro ran well. Good kill

I'm with Hio as far as the Vette either not having gears, not turning enough rpms or both.


Mavn on here has a similar cam and his results are the opposite. With an auto and a small 3200 stall. Some cars just run better than others.

Wait, how is a pulley swap and exhaust on a Cobra not basic? That is a ridiculous statement.

Lol yes he just needs to find a way to keep hs vette between 6,800rpm and 7,500rpm no big deal.

Agree a pulley swap is rather basic mods wise.
