What's all done to it? Is it an all out drag car? What times have you previously run in it?
Basically, is it even a fair race?

I actually have full road race suspension right now on my Cobra. My blower hates the heat though and I decided a while back that the drag strip is a hell of a lot cheaper and a lot closer to home.

So i was on my way back from the savi ranch meet and i was on the phone talking to my cousin. Then i see what looks like a Z06 in my rear view, i was like hey ill call you back. So i slow up and then see the blue ZR1 on the side i was like OMG!! Its the first ZR1 ive seen in person or even just driving around.
So i give him the thumbs up and try to snap some pics when he just hammers it and does a sick fly by!! That Vette sounded sick! I assume it was bone stock because it had paper plates on it still.. So i drop it to about 3rd at about 65 and line up next to him and honk it off and hammer it..He didnt go, but we lined up again and he was ready this time..So i honk it off again and we start mashing out, i had about half a car on him at the end of third where we both let off due to traffic...The ZR1 was sick as hell though!

Let me just give an example... the ZR1 being more aeordynamic, but lets say the ZR1 is 550rwhp andd 3350 lbs... and the cobra is 605rwhp and 3650lbs... if they have the same gear ratios, etc... It should be an almost identical race...
if I do lbs per Hp. they should both be in the 6.0 - 6.1 lbs per hp category...
edit:
there is so much more, such as what rpms, speed, gear and tthe ratios, aerodynamics, etc... but this is just to give a hint....

LoL I guess I am not the only one with tire issue. I guess we are going to be the only ones going from 60mph. I cant wait to see what happens there, I just had a chance to get on it with DRs on and the thing really moves.
