Yep, do a search, it has happened more than once. The Z06's did have air intakes.......woopdedoo!

**EDIT** Just found this one real quickly, there are lots more where this one came from..........by the way, this one had 500.

Ok with equal drivers and conditions the modified cobra is going to take it. stock for stock it gets a little closer.


Someone posting a story on the internet doesnt mean anything. For all we know a car pulled out in front of the cobra so it slowed down, doesnt mean the Z06 won! Next thread down could be like "Smoked a Viper with my stock Civic!" :lol:

Actually, that one came with a video and it was at the drag strip. :cheers: Of course theoretically the Cobra should win, but as we have been seeing it doesn't always turn out the way it is supposed to on paper. :cheers:

ACTUALLY...I have that in my sig because I'm babysitting a 1981 Z28 for my best friend, while he's putting his time in to become a doctor. Idling in traffic is almost as impossible as keeping it tuned for the different temps. MAN! ...I don't know how we ever lived with carbs! :crazy: It's so touchy in temps above 80 degrees...I can't keep it cool for the life of me! Plus I can't WAIT to get the Holley fuel injection system on it! That'll make a WORLD of difference.

You can see it here http://24.207.234.202/4sfed/

It's a 454, bored .010 over (461 now?). I just got done transplanting in a modified TH700R4.

BTW, the fact that we are now comparing Z06's to Mustang's....makes me smile. ;) ...I don't mind loosing to a 'vette (ya hear that hogurt?). ;)

4SFED, I hear ya'. That is good, because on Tuesday I am ready to hand ya' another beatin'. :lolg:

By the way, I see that 03Steve lost to Black03 last week :confused: ? Apparently both of those guys were running in the low 12's. I hope I can figure out how to drive. . . soon!

RACER44, as for a stock Z. . .there were three of them at the track when we ran last time. . .all three of the modified Mustangs were runnin' better times. 4S Fed, would have waxed them ALL! :yesnod:

Also, I ran two of the modified '03 Cobras from a 40-50 roll. . .from a roll either of the modified '03 Cobras I ran, would hand a stock Z his AZZ. The Z simply doesn't have the 2nd gear pull to match those FI MONSTAZ.

At a track, from a dead stop, the Z could fair pretty well with a very solid driver! :cheers:

..and these heavily modded Slowbras should be handing stock Z's their AZZ'Z, but has been proven over and over on these forums, it just isn't happening as much as it should. For the most part their HP does not match their 1/4 times at all. IMHO they are more of a dyno queen car. :D :smash: :cheers:
