I completely agree. There are videos of stock C6 Z06's beating KB Cobra's all the time.

What’s up Angel,
So you are saying a ZR1 is slower than my Bolt on LS3? My car is almost done and I will be out hopefully next week after Charlie is done tuning it. You must have gotten the bugs worked out of your ride.

The newb in the ZR1 most likely didn't think your car was worth his time so he probably didn't even downshift. Way to show him up though!

My bet is you did beat him. He probably just didn't downshift thinking its just a cobra. The next story that comes up though is going to be like this "So I ran this ZR1 today, I got RAAAAAPED!" because the guy is not going to think twice and downshift to hell and smash on someone.

Man you guys sure are DB's, he didn't say it was or all Chevy products are **** heaps. He said he ran a guy and that was it, **** happens on the street. Driver error or lack of driving skills is the reason most races are lost.

**** I raced an SRT-10 Viper through 3 gears (he wouldn't launch and then tried to jump me from behind) and he pulled a car on me. My car was stock motor bolt on with 4.10's, nothing special. He was all happy and I told him that was sorry since my car only made 338 to the wheels. I don't think my car is that fast and probably couldn't beat another one that had a competent driver. But I still won!

Sorry Cobra man, you're only going to get unbelievers in this forum. I wish you had some video.

Don't act surprised. It would be like I posted in the SVT forum about my win over a GT.

Good one! I think the zr1 driver was scarred to even down shift being a $100,000 car! I know I would! he might of had it in 5th gear or 6th lol

My buddy at work has a 03 convertable kenne belle cobra with all the upgrades and tuned by some mustang shop in rancho called GT motorsports ans says he put down about 600rwhp on 91 octane. He wants to buy a ZR1 now that he say he has about $30,000 into his car.

No one said he was talking bad on chevy products, as he clearly wasn't. Nor were we talking down on his car.

I didn't say that I doubt he put a half car on the ZR1 either, I simply was stating that both cars driven to full potential would have yeilded a much different outcome.

The next person to race a ZR1 Vette better have a video camera with them or BS is all that we will say. This is the 2nd I beat a ZR1 thread in a week. Im in the middle because yes anything can happen in a race and the person that is in another car has a differents view.

So here is the verdict. There is your side, his side, and the truth. Peace
