Default C6 ZO6 vs 03 Cobra

Today while me and my wife heading to my parent I happen to run to a new ZO6. I personally had never seen one on the streets but here is my story. I was crusin down I-10 going about 60mph when suddenly out of the blue this red C6 ZO6 pulls right next to me. As I looked over and saw it was a ZO6 the guy (young) does a RICER flyby and then slows down.This guy was with his G/F I believe cause there was a young lady in the car with him..Well I decide to try to pull up to him and as I do everytime he speeds off like he aint got no sense..Finally I catch to him again and had just enough time to bring it down to 3rd and run my RPM's up. I tried to give him the 3 honk mothod but it seemed he didnt know what was up..Well long story short he guns out and by this time my boost is build up and i suck him up and put a easy 10+ cars on him. I shut my car down and let him try to catch up to me to do it again but I guess he figured that this cobra he was running wasn't his regular bolt on cobra.....Ohhh I'm sorry for the long post....

I serioulsy doubt you were behind him and then managed to put 10+ cars on a C6 ZO6. Not unless your car traps like..hmm..I dont know...about 140mph+ at least. I call until I see a list of every modification that cobra has.

You must be making some insane power to have pulled 10+ car lengths on a C6 ZO6. Those cars typically put around 450-460hp to the rear "bone stock". In addition they weigh a tad bit over 3100lbs if I'm not mistaken either. The horsepower to weight ratio on those cars are phenomenal to say the least. Just curious, exactly what are your mods and how many hp are you making?

I find this hard to believe. 10+ cars "easy" on a C6 Z06.

10 lengths I highly doubt. I think the car measurement was off. Beating the Z06 sure.....a Whippled cobra will have ~560-600+

3200 Z06 (without drivers)
3650 Cobra (without)

450 pound difference (pending) driver's.........but a 150 HP difference.....I can see 6 lengths.

I would also like to see this list... 10 cars on a zo6 when you are starting in high rpm's in third? so what speed did you start racing at? are you sure you weren't on a busa?

Ive seen plenty of high 600 hp whipple Cobra's which would easily be enough to pull a C6Z pretty hard. Obviously 10 cars is a lot and we all know how hard it is to judge a cars distance when were racing. Good Kill though, I cant wait to run into a C6Z in my Cobra.

PD blowers make boost straight off idle, what sort of blower are you running?

sig says whipple.

Are you serious?? The C6 Z06 traps at 130MPH stock, so unless those cars are running 135MPH+ trap speeds, they aren't going to "pull a C6Z pretty hard". Not to mention that the Cobra has a 600lb weight and aerodynamics disadvantage, which is considerable to say the least.

Cobras are fast cars with lots of potential, but lets not exaggerate their performance...
