Damn it. So is that why my car is not trapping at 127 like some others?? Because it is yellow??..

What did you run again at the track Fadi?
I have only ran my car a total of 4 times because I do not like drag racing. My best trap speed out of the four passes I made is 125.6 mph. My best ET out of the four passes I made is an 11.5@124.56. Both passes were at 650' above sea level (Stanton)

Weight is a factor from a dig and any roll speed FYI. And to s/c stang even though your tread is now trashed lol, good kill.

I have had it with you.

"s/c stang", go race Scott, put 10 cars on him like you did with the one you races, get it on film, and come back and show us the results..

Well, I got a 2006 F-250 from Farmville and that same night got rid of that on a 2007 F-250 in Richmond. Now the Harley truck is just sitting along side the house not being used.

This is all bench racing statistics. I really can't believe some of you guys think this way, I mean ok I know the new z06 was touched by god but damn. And I know weight has some factor even in a roll race, but over 100whp? I know there are loads of other factors that could come into play, but c'mon...idk what to say I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree...

Just for you...

Bolt on Z06 vs. KB Cobra

I will admit that the Cobra driver was not the as good as the Z06 driver, but, if you watch the 2nd race, the Cobra driver is in the right gear (2nd) and he barely pulled on the Z06 until he had to make a shift.

Like I said, a 510 rwhp Z06 would give a 620 rwhp Cobra a GREAT race, and if the Cobra wins, it will be by a car at most. jmo

That was a phat video, just for showing me the video alone I retract my previous statement and apologize for the outburst, I don't know if we can trust the power figure's in this video but wow 100whp dif. that's insane, lol. I told you the new z06's are touched by god...


My fav. video is still the old 1g dsm beating the new z06 though, wish I had saved that video to my hard drive, but I'll save this one, this was def. a good one thanks for the video.

You know, you guys are still comparing a PIG Mustang to the top of the line GM supercar. To me, a 25K car with a 5K mod does pretty well. The Cobra was not designed to beat anything like a 427 ZO6. Damn. The ZO6 is king, we all know that. We ALL want one. 650-700 rwhp is getting easier with the new screw blowers though so like I said, for a fat 4 seater, THATS a hell of a deal. No, I dont have dyno #'s yet on my 2.8 but I will as soon as I get them. Thats a NICE blue ZO6 too.

No doubt about it. A full weight Cobra better have close to a 100 rwhp advantage if he wants to nose out a C6 Z06.
