my vette vs 04 cobra
we went from a first gear roll I had no passenger and the cobra had 1 so I'm sure the cobra could have done better. anyway we line up im around 4500 rpm 3rd honk and I pull insantly throughout 4th gear I had him by around 5 cars goin into 4th
we talked after and the guy said he did 12.4@119 with boltons and a 2.76 he was a pretty cool guy.

my guess is at least 425 rwhp maybe as much as 455. Doubt any more then 455. I could be wrong. I bet you make full use of that power off the line. How's that stock rear end holding up?? I was afraid of breaking mine, so I opted to upgrade to the stg III dynotech rear with all the bells and whistles.

The next time the cobra left in 2nd gear and im pretty sure the vette was in 1st but the vette also won that one. Either way both are fast but i think the last two races were won by the vette because of better driving. I was happy to see them run......Both cars are BEAST!

any way I dont know why you would call the first 2 times races cus we didnt go from 3 and 1 of the times I mis shifted. the third time we went from the gear the cobra driver wanted and I did not let up on my shifting at all there the 4th time we went I was in second and I granny shifted into 3rd and 4th. we need to do this again from first and get it on vid you know anybody with a camera?

The cobra doesnt really have much done. He doesnt have full bolt ons. He jus has intake, exhaust and a pulley. With a mail order tune. So with the C5's mods it shouldnt have been hard to beat the cobra.
