Default Bolt on C5z vs H/C/I/ C5
C5: BTR Stage 4 Cam. 799 heads, Fast 92 intake, and 1 3/4 headers.

C5Z: Breathless LT's
Borla Stingers
Breathless flash tune
RPM tranny
McLeod RXT
Monster 18lb billet flywheel
Tick MC

Drag
275/40/17 Hoosier DR on a C5Z 17x9.5 out back
185/55/17 M&H on GTO spares up front

Same C5 that got yanked by the Cobra, which got beat by the C5Z.

Same thing I thought when I saw it having trouble w/a pulley Cobra.


I want to see a rematch of the C5Z (with the drag pack) vs the white Cobra

hard to beat a ls6


Told ya'll that was a **** h/c set up. I like a ls6 and all but there is really no reason a h/c ls1/ls6 should not make more power than a bolt-on ls6.

No, no, no all the people in the thread before told me that h/c c5's were just slow and a pullied cobra could reverse the Earth's rotation.

That's right

There was 9 months of bench racing before this race finally took place. Wish there would've been a dig with the vette on DR's but oh well... Until next time

C5 owner needs to do some homework. My h/c C5 yanked the **** outta pullied Cobras with ~50whp more than me. Of course that's typical though.

It's only typical if the cobra owner is a touchdown.

I'm not trying to be irrational about it. 430-435whp 3150lbs C5 yanking approx. full weight 470-490whp pullied Cobras both with equal drivers is typical. Trust me, I like Mustangs just as much as Vettes.

Just depends on the setup of each car honestly.
