Yep good kill...yet it is annoying that all the drivers of these Z06's he runs into are crappy. I want to see a GOOD race!

Its interesting that the first, third, and fourth races that both drivers punched it at almost the exact same time with three different outcomes. first one dead even, third one the Z takes it, and the fourth the cobra takes it. Must be different speeds for the gearing to help out the vette and other speed better for the boost of the cobra. Good runs!!!

I was hoping for a race from a dig

It seems to me like whichever car the camera was in lost. Good runs nonetheless.

Seriously my grandmother can shift faster than that guy, and she has no arms! I think it came down to who got stuck with the camera man.

Woh slow down champ. This is how I saw it.

Race
1.EVEN
2.Cobra
3.Z06
4.Cobra
5.Z06
6.Cobra

Looks pretty even to me...if there was a race from a dig the z06 would be clearly the winner (even with the z driver granny shifting).

With equal drivers & passengers, the Z06 seems to be the faster car of the two, even with 60 less rwhp.
No excuses though, that Vert Cobra moves out.

Good runs guys.

Some panties in a wad up in here.

Come on. Most everyone agreed it would be very close. It was close with the cobra surprising most on here as i predicted.

the shoe is on the other foot. mustang guys are usually the one saying well if it were a better driver. now we get this thread. and all the gm guys are saying the vette lost due to poor driving. does it mean the vette is a pos? no all it means is that some people can row better than others. that can be the difference in a race

When the Cobra won, it looked as if it was pulling harder than the the Z06 when the Z06 won. Take a look and let me know what you guys think.

Honestly, I would have to say the Cobra would get the Z from a roll with no passengers in either.

it usually seems that the person with the more modded car is the better driver just because it makes sense. But there is always exceptions

Agreed. When the Cobra was walking, it was walking away. When the Z won, it was a car or so and a stalmate, which really seems wierd either way. Id say that Cobra was a little stronger.

It does seem the drivers were all over the place as far as consistency.

Now if it was a solid axle coupe, it would have been much worse with 250lbs less to carry.
