[QUOTE="Camaro_94, post: 9812220, member: 68525"] Just because a car makes good numbers on a dyno.. doesnt automatically make it faster than a car with less power. My friend has a "cam only" LS1 Z28 that is running 10.8 and is making 413rwhp. It has a ton of weight reduction and is well setup for the track. If you were to throw a 200 shot on that, it would be insane (It wouldnt be something I'd expect to last though). I have another friend that has a TT C5 Z06 that made 1000rwhp. It ran mid 10's because it just couldnt hook and wasnt well set-up to race at that point. It was a 6 speed and was a lot to handle... Especially when he was roasting slicks halfway down the track. He's making a ton of changes and is in the process of converting it to an auto. We always joked around and said his TT Z06 would dominate from a 120 roll... Since he couldnt catch traction through the lower speeds. As I'm sure you're aware, theres more to making a car fast than simply making a high dyno number. You need to get the power to the ground and have a driver who can control it. :rockon: Also, I'm willing to bet the cobra in the video will be able to handle that power all day... And the LS1 with spray wont last anywhere near as long as the cobra. [/QUOTE]
