Good races. I hated the beginning of the video with the forum crap and pics. Had to skip 2 minutes to get to the point. I would have expected that the 450HP cobra would beat on the 370ish HP C5

Same here, but I didn't think the beating would be so bad.
It was pretty ugly for the C5 up top.

+1. The Cobra pulled pretty good up top. Looked like he came a little from behind, and pulled hard up top. To be honest, I thought it would be closer.

of course it "sounded" fine to you...the stang won.lol.The in car Z cam had the "oh ****" or "oh damn" comment when side by side...obviously he didn't get it in gear. I'm not making excuses, the races were what they were and the Cobra won.

Yeah The 3rd and 4th of the Cobra pulled hard. It has very good top end with its modded heat exchanger cause the cars not heatsoaking.

Like I said before I went into the race, I already knew I was gonna lose, The 100whp HP difference was too great, and being 6ft7in 270lbs, I don't really have the weight mod needed to pull off the victory. But I don't think the car did that bad for what it was.

Calculating the power to weight (as raced) with drivers / passangers, the odds were in his favor, plus the added torque he already had over me... it was obvious.

Plus people keep bringing up driver mod, I don't think my DM was that bad, considering I managed to outlaunch him on my stock baldtires to his Nitto's. The second dig race, I did bog my launch... so I guess that's where it comes from.

I'm sure, with a lighter driver, and a more experienced driver (I've had the car almost 2 months) the car might have done better, but in this race here, as the cars were, the cobra won.

I thought the same thing. Once that cobra hit full boost up top the pull was crazy
