Mamba vs. SubTexel

I think it will be closer than everyone else thinks, unless they run up past 130 mph where aero starts interfering. There is a big weight difference, but the gearing plus the HP difference may help ease that some. I think the 150 shot will make for a steady win for Sub, no doubt in my mind. To sum up my opinion, it will be a good race all motor, but with the edge definitely going towards Mamba. On the spray, its Sub's race.

A lot of people are not really factoring in 1000 lbs of weight. Convert that at a strip, that is a Full Second difference. From the factory, Sub would have trouble hitting bottom 12's, and trapping no more than 110. Mamba should have no problem run mid 12's, trapping around 114-115 with decent driving. Now, add H/C/I to the Vette, + other bolt-ons, which should put him in the area of almost 500WHP, give or take some, and still weighing 1000lbs less.
Race and find out though. Be safe guys.
I say Vette takes it both times, depending on how good of a driver Mamba is.

Yeah and I am guessing that when he tunes it to 91 it will be a lil less power too. Do lower gears have an advantage at all in races? Or is it just for gas milage basically?
I dunno where we could race. Don't have any experiences on Hwy 15. I mainly stick to the 405, 105, 110.

I'd give the Mopar the nod on a motor-to-motor 1/8th mile dig, as he has a stall and been known to run DR's. The LS2 can probably cover the rest. Do the SRT's 5 speed autos have tight gearing? Cool runs either way though!

I think you guys should race 0-130 and let him use the bottle.
