Default Z06 vs Cobra

this one is from a dig. cool guy, his mods were pulley, bolt-ons, said he was putting down just over 500 rwhp. my car is h/c, putting just over 560 rwhp. street was track-prepped, we both had DRs and both hooked good. fun race.

What is up with 2 gear races nowadays? Thats not a race!!!! This is the reason why I never race from a dig unless we mark off a full 1320..... I have no chance in a race like that!!! Against these cars I would have no chance anyways!!!! LOL Great kill though. Both cars sound mean... and look fast as hell if you would wind them out in 3rd and 4th!!!

BTW I'm not flaming because I definitely don't have any business flaming someone on this subject..... but you made 560rwhp and are only running 11's?

I'm suprised it wasn't worse than that. However the faster the speeds the worse it would have been for the Slobra.

Being a Cobra owner....why do you post so much on a F-body/Vette/GM forum? Just curious. Have you owned any GM muscle cars or just Ford?

Yes, he used to own an F-body if I recall that he took to mid-11s down the quarter with small bolt-ons and nitrous.

Good kill but yea short race. A pullied Cobra will only put out about 460rwhp though. They need a good ported s/c to run over 500. Too many people around for my taste.

Correct sir...I had a '00 A4 Z28 that went 11.50's on street radials
with minor bolt ons and nitrous.

I continue to post here because I like to stay up on as much LSx tech
info as I can since my next vehicle will be a FI LSx car of some sort.
Sometime in the not-so-distant future, I want to build a 800-900rwhp
track car based on the LSx platform with a 'glide and a 9"...probably
a big turbo, but I haven't ruled out a big CID motor and a F1R.
Knowledge is power and power makes for a hell of a fast car!
Also, IMO, I feel that I've helped thousands of fbody guys with their
cars and I was asked to be a moderator here AFTER I bought my Cobra.
Diversity is a good thing. I see no reason to leave.

Free mods | MTI lid | Hooker catback | NX wet kit - 150 shot

11.50's @ 121mph on Kumho Escta 712's



Nothing special, but she ran pretty good for a lease.

Back on topic please guys. This thread is about a badass C6 Z06, not me.

Nice kill.
I think I can see my future death to an H/C C6 Zo6 and a 150 shot.
