50 roll, LS1 VS 427. Vette has headers and a tune, 490 RWHP.


01 Cobra has low compression forged engine built for FI, running 150 shot. I spin bad on the the 2nd run and get hung up in second gear. These are crap cell phone vids, but the cobra and vette had a go-pro and camera man that they will post up later.


Go-pro from Cobra's view..

Ahh been waiting for this lol So were you pulling on the Cobra a little bit then? Was the race with the Vette a clean one? 490 rwhp in a 3200lb car is no joke!

Stone629

Both cars beat me to the hit. I was inching ahead on the Cobra up top, right about the time he would shut down. On that 30 roll I was handing it to him pretty good until I got stuck on the limiter. Soon as I got it to shift into 3rd and started pulling again he threw in the towel. The Vette simply crushed me. From a dig on DRs, I would do work on the Cobra.

Gotcha! Were there any dyno or track numbers on the Cobra? So racing the Vette was basically like racing a full bolt on ZO6 more or less then lol? Do you feel if the Vette didn't get the slight hit it would have helped much?

Stone629

It might of helped a little, maybe a half to full car. He was sitting at the top of 1st gear at 50 mph! No numbers on the Cobra, but I would expect insane tq.

mrtstang

Either way the Vette looked like it was pulling pretty hard is that correct?

Stone629

Oh yea, he had me beat down pretty good, no excuses.

mrtstang

Hey, we can't win them all right haha I'm telling ya Stone you need to slap some juice on that thing, and REALLY surprise some people lol! Except for my A-pillar gauges (fuel and nitrous pressure) no one would know I have it

Stone629

Tell me about it. A 100 shot would've slaughtered that 427.

I have to ask...what makes you reluctant to spray the car, or are you really just not that interested in doing so?
