that was stated in the last run. turns out the cobra pulled harder up top. dont under estimate a cobras top end. but anyway i voted for the 3rd choice. id love to see the cobra edge it out but i dont think it will happen this time. cant wait for the vids tho.

Ya that is true cause that cobra had more power then the z06 but i still believe that it is understood that a vette will have an advantage at higher speeds. Ya should be a good vid

NOWAY IN HELL a 450 RWHP VERT Cobra pulls a 400 RWHP Z06.

From a dig, you're absolutely wrong. From a roll, I have to agree.

My money would be on the Z06 in this one.

all you said in the Original post was *vid will be posted later*


You want to give us a little insight as to when "later" is going to be?

This is normally a thread that would get locked, but given his post history
I fully believe he will post the vid.

I do also. I just hope everything is legit and the race isn't thrown. I don't think it will be, but I wouldn't put the idea past some people on here.

Oh man...I don't think a Z06 owner could pull the trigger and fake
a loss to a Cobra.

Well, with a 95rwhp difference in the last Z06 Vs Cobra vid I seen, it was the Cobra by a car...at the most.

So with a 60hp difference... I would say the Vette should edge out the Cobra, pending the car's weight reduction mods, and of course... the drivers.

It was more than a car watch the vids again.

Z06 this time around with any good driver...

My favorite was the comment someone made about the "air brakes".
