Default C6 Z06 vs Whipple Cobra vs C5 Z06

this was set up to be a fun race. the C6Z is my car, mods in the sig. the C5Z had bolt-ons and 100 shot. the whipple cobra had all the fixins, exhaust, built motor, solid axle. we all had passengers except the C5Z. this was from a 40 punch. race starts out good, looks like the C5Z was gonna win until we all saw a trooper sitting there and all 3 slammed on the brakes, then hightailed it out of there. after our asses quit puckering up, we decided not to run any more tonight. we'll do it again and i'll get some vids. no death, no kill, but fun nonetheless. if i had to guess, the C5Z was gonna take it.
here's the video
(as you can tell, the cobra slammed first, then me, then the C5Z)

I've got a Whippled '03 and I'd never have believed anything could walk it like that C5 does in the vid. Amazing

Maybe it's time to consider some spray...

I was just showing you guys my new anchor mod......
My wife knocked my arm off of the shifter as she screamed and clawed when she saw the po-po.

My car is running a whipple at 15psi on pump gas and it makes 560hp on my current combo. I have a 21psi 650hp combo going on soon, so it should make things a little more interesting.

I did get a chance to run the c5 again, and it was close, but at 120-140mph it is like comparing an arrow to a brick. I was proud of my 4000lb turd. it was running strong tonight. You can post that vid if you still have it, although it was a little fuzzy.

You guys are as cool as they come, and it was very nice to get a chance to run both of you. I know we will get some better run in the future.

Our other race wasn't like the first one, but both of the vetts in 3rd gear have unnatural acceleration. In the video you can see the normal roots blower slingshot followed buy the holy **** vette rocket power. All of these guys were excelent sportsmen and I was honered to run with them.

I was trying to overcome a 500-700lb weight difference, that I'm sure you are familar with.
A small 50-75 dry shot is my next attack, if the 21lb tune isn't enough.

Damn, that was a close call.

To me, it looked like you guys let off a little too late. Lol. I'm glad he didn't catch you guys though.

Try and give it another run if you guys can.

Awesome rides, closest call I've ever seen.

20-30 roll in second? Yikes, but I assume you would have some major traction problems on the street with that kind of power, so it doesn't give you a lot of options. Nice race!

I'm running 21lbs though just 16 degrees of timing - just under 600/600 so I'm still able to use the 92 octane we have here in WA state.

I just can't imagine needing more jump, day-to-day, but when those pesky sprayed ought-sixes show up I suppose I'll need it. Damn!

Nice cars guy's, I'm surprised that C5 Zo6 with bolt-on's and a 100 shot pulled so hard.

Nice runs. That is one reason behind me selling my Whipple Cobra. Vette's are just crazy with the right mods, that thing on a 100 shot was moving.

need to up the boost on pump gas, maybe to 17-18 psi and you might edge it out....good runs either way
