First I need to swap my 19" to my stock Z06's..... My brother could probably go too...... Are you going to do the dynoing(sp?) in Cunningham motorsports....in Lake Elsinore?

Once again.... You cant go by just that one video and say a pullied cobra is always going to win against a stock c5 z06. If we wanted to go by one video, then we could go by the OPs video and say stock c5 z06 > pullied cobra.... Since he did pull the win out. Best way to put it is pullied cobra vs. stock c5 z06 = drivers race.... For the most part.

They don't have to american to be good cars. I like a lot of imports, as long as they are actually good cars and not full of appearance ****. You're the ignorant fool who is saying that you want to stir **** up and calling out other idiot's like yourself to come in here and argue over nothing. The beginning of this thread was amazing and the fact that everything went through was great. Better yet, neither of the two drivers made any excuse. Now other people are trying to make excuses for the Z losing. There's no need to bring in "what if" circumstances.

dude do you not understand that i have experienced this more than 3 times myself and now this video? I have beaten a KB cobra on the highway because driver didnt know how to drive, should i say it is a drivers race witha pullied cobra now? GET REAL. I can't believe this **** is happing now and i sold the car 3 weeks ago I would prove you guys over and over and over and over with 10 different stock Z06s with 10 different video me pulling on them. been there 3 times and wouldn't mind for more.

I mean come on, a stcock c5 Z06 ran BEST OF 11.7@119-120MPH on a 1/4 mile and that is "BEST" and a pullied cobra ran best of 11.2@124mph on 1/4 mile and that is BEST. i clearly see AT LEAST 3 cars in that race.

Heck, i personally ran 11.34 with almost 122mph on a 1/4 mile with my upper only 455rwhp cobra, how the heck you come out of a closet and say it is a drivers race? somebody make sense. cobra runs faster ET, traps higher and for some reasion, it is a driver race? well your best driver couldn't run any faster than 11.7 or trap any higher than 119mph or 120mph. what now?? again, GET REAL!!!!!

then for the most part, every car on the streets is drivers race because other driver simply can put his z in 6th gear at 50mph to race against a stock civic SI and civic pulls on him because driver sucked on the other side and it is a drivers race.

compare two machines!!!!!

did you watch the video? he "ALREADY" out launched the cobra and got passed in mid 2nd gear or so. so him having bald or not bald tires didn't effect, regardless of that, he launched better than the cobra.

maybe he would have came out a bit harder but the cobra caught him at the top of 2/ bottom of 3rd and was around him by the time they went in forth. the vette wasnt blistering the tires off of it. cobra still would have won. cobra also won in the roll races too. the vette owner isnt makin excuses you jack *** fanboys are. if it had been the other way around and the cobra got pulled by a car it would have still been a good race and props to both drivers. you wanna watch the video again?? the vett got pulled get over it. what is this and what if that. WHAT IF WHAT HAPPEND HAPPEND AND THE VETTE GOT PULLED.
no disrespect at all to the vett owner. sweet car good races and good fun.

If I had DR's, then my car wouldn't be stock. Stock vs Pullied was the debate, so that was the race. No excuses from me.

BTW he pulled me 3rd gear... not second.

sorry not taking anything away from you or the race at all. im not trying to talk up cobras as well. if it were the other way around id be just as pissed if all the cobra guys ruined the thread with flaming. it was a call out that got accepted. the race went down and there was an outcome. some people just cant accept that.

yeah, tons of respect to Z owner who took the challenge came back posted here. Honestly, i would take a c5 Z06 over a cobra any day even though i love cobras. Z is a better car overall.

the op is talking from a roll race not a track. obviously a cobra with drag radials will have a huge track advantage on a z06 with factory run flats.

Sorry to let you down bro... But the results were the same from a roll as the were from a dig.

And Zs come with F1 Supercar tires, not the run craps.

I needed to save some money for a private project and i had another car sitting in the garrage (97 trans am) without getting driven which was paid off. basicly, reasion was money.
