That is how all races against stock Z06's and pullied cobras should end.
Does anyone have the vid of Strokd vs. Andrew's Z06. (pullied cone vs. h/c/i/e tunned Z06) That was a close race between 2 cars with very similar hp. I think Donnie filmed it?

You showed me a vid of a pullied Cobra running 120mph trap. I think a Z06 would run right next to that from 25-130. ET's don't mean shit from a roll race.
this?

I really don't care about what a pullied Cobra can do from a dig because this discussion is about what it would do in a roll race.

I'm trying to determine which car is faster from a roll
now it is "track only" get real, be a man, and go race!!!

That looked like a yellow Vette (hard to tell though). JD's Vette is Red.
Like I said, Cobra guys can post vids 1 way, Vette guys can post vids the other way.
Crappy launch by the Z too. Does that guy know how to drive his Z at ALL???
in this video the same guy do a roll race with different cobra and cobra misses gear on 1st run and on second run, as you see cobra starts to pull on 4th gear which is 110-120mph. I have been telling, cobras got great top end and aero does not help as crazy as you think. take a look, both drives foot on the floor and cobra just reels on him at higherspeeds. and i wouldnt call cobra driver is anywhere near a good driver.
* ^^this post is just about aerodynamics^^*

I just finished reading the thread over at LS1Tech.
This was not JD.
This was some guy who has owned his Z all of 2 months, admits his GF is a better driver, was not powershifting, AND has bald tires to boot!!
To quote Chandler Bing, could the odds BE any more lopsided?? LoL
Not exactly the best representation of the Z's capabilities
Still, props to the Cobra for the win
a cobra vert + street tires = horrible wheelhop. they both left the line like sh*t if you as me and you could clearly see actually Z launched better cobra passed him in the mid of second gear (where the crazy torque is)

I really don't think the guy in the yellow Z06 know's how to drive his car yet. My guess is that he's spining the shit out of the crappy F1 tires. BTW: The guy in the Z weighs 260lbs.
Props to the Cobra though. I guess the weight shouldn't be considered since the Cobra is a vert.
If you watch the vid of me and the Pullied Cobra it seems to be a better comparison. The Cobra and I both start in 2nd gear from 40mph, we both mash the gas full throttle and catch traction.
If you watch the vid the Cobra knows how to shift decent. I've seen what he has under the hood of his car and he even confirms it with me. JLT short ram intake, 2.8 upper, unknown lower, orx, loudmouth cat back, and a dyno tune 460 whp at 15lbs of boost.
WOW! i just noticed, cobra had only 450rwhp -430rwtq and a heavy vert. Z needs some better driving skills. but for some reasion he out launched that cobra

wtf? he was ahead of the cobra untill the mid 2nd gear. I mean there is a video and it is clearly there. Z probably cut 2.0 60' and cobra cut like 2.2 (IMO)
JD, I know this was awhile back (2-3 weekends ago), but have you been out on I-35 on a Saturday night (around 12 AM) with a white/silver Z28, two other 'vettes, a crotch rocket, and a white Supra that looked basically stock?
If that is your car in the video, I could swear that was your car (got off on the exit for 290).

Awesome. You have a very nice looking 'vette. I was doing 80 just to keep up beside you guys before you exited off of 35. I was drooling over those 'vettes.
