23k for your CObra?!?! Agh...feels like your giving it away.

Im gonna say it nice that a person can get a C5Z06 or a 03-04 Cobra for under 30k. INSANE! Only in America baby!

This thread should be stickied, locked, and re-named "MODEL RACE THREAD" or soemthing like that.

Nice runs, This MAY be bias, but just by watching the vids it seemed like the Z06 wasn't driving %100 ***** out, HOWEVER, a race is a race! Nice win Cobra!

JD_Z28 was talking about aerodynamics and it is funny how this cobra started to slowly pull away from the Z on 4th gear which is around 110-120mph. lol

I have been telling him aero does not help as crazy as he thinks and dont underestimate the top end of the cobra!

nice runs. glad to see a friendly run!!!!

Nice runs.

I'd still like to see someone represent who has owned the car longer than 2 months so they can drive it properly, and preferably a car without bald tires.

Did you turn the traction control off on your runs?
