No, in the video the car had a Z51-R badge on the fender.
Link to the car in the video
The link to the video is at the bottom of the page.... when they go from a stop they show the fender and it says Z51- R

In case anyone was wondering, he has the DRM 450 top end package, B&B shorties, gutted cats, and B&B PRT's. Thats all I could get out of him. He recently added a magnacharger. The Z51 package is a high performance suspension option for vettes.

I asked the last Honda I ran why he needed a turbo when he weighed 1000lbs less. He told me the same thing. Weird.

I dont see it as they (Ford) hopped up the Cobra to "keep up" with them... I see it as they equaled out the whole 69 cubic inch difference between the two motors.

Again, you say all this bad stuff about Chevy's, yet Ford supercharged the Cobra to keep up with them. How is the Vette "hoped" up and the Cobra isn't?

Like I said a thousand times before. A stock Corvette means the owner didn't do ****. All the engineering and new and better parts put on than from Vettes in years past are done at the factory, which in my book still consitutes hopping up a car. Stock doesn't mean that an older Corvette gave birth to a new one and that's the way it runs. Somebody engineered and built it, buddy.

Nobody told them they had to buy a small engined car. Besides there are all those 9 second street Hondas out there. Any moron can produce a list of cars that have 9 second slips, so why isnt every honda in the 9's? Why isnt every stang? Those excuses dont hold water. If you want to go fast you need a car capable of it and one with enough engine to move its mass, plain and simple.
Its better to enhance or improve the strong points rather than try to fix the weak ones...

why isn't every stang or honda a 9 second street car? not everyone needs to have the fastest car, my ***** aren't that small. 12s would make me very very happy. even if I just ran one Z06 or one Cobra and pulled along them till 110 mph.
