Nice race, cars are very evenly matched. Can't wait for the rematches with the ZL1
Im always glad to irritate wrinkly penes such as yourself.
Are you a beaner?
Fast cars. Cobra did well for a automatic and a roll race. You said you made 700 with the six speed. How much is the cobra making now with the auto?
No I'm limiting peak airflow going into the blower. When my car hits 7500 rpms the t trim is spinning at its max 55000 but only making 10-12 psi. Makes instant boost. Iats are marginally higher. The guy( chad Barton at cbi streetcars) that built the zl1 invented this piece, its called "dem tangs". My car shouldve had the traction advantage but I didn't take the time to adjust my qa1s before we raced. Anyone that had a set knows that when they're set wrong the car is just wrong. It wouldve been a different race altogether. Which car is a better street car? The one that drove 75 miles and raced 6 times bit only lost because of traction but finally pulled ahead once it got it or the auto car that can only win from a slow roll or dig if you race it before it gets hot
Thats a funny excuse...
Not sure on auto never dyno'd it. I'd say probably around 640-650ish since 50-60hp loss thru the auto. I will dyno it in the future though when I up the boost.
Also this isn't a typical "centri" 5.0, this car has instant torque and MAX boost right off the hit, it has the "dem tangs" mod from a local shop. I was surprised on how it took off, because my car makes a good amount of torque, and the 5.0 stayed right there with me.
Says the guy who's most known on this site for cheating and stealing the hit in every single one of his races posted. :lol:
Hey Zytroll
8 second Centri WITH nitrous, fully built 900hp Z06 vs. 495hp N/A Mustang.

Not enough traction? That's a funny excuse!!! Funny every single Corvette owner on here was arguing lack of traction, when the shoe is on the other foot, (stalled automatic Camaro with slicks and skinnys vs. 6spd Mustang from a dig their story changes!)
I think you mean "the guy who's most know on this site for running cars as the underdog and hurting feewings/crushing dreams in every single one of his races posted on his old clapped out and underpowered c5z". :lol:
What does a corvette video have to do with with the ZL1 vs 5.0?
I could give not two stinky shits how a turdvette got a beat down by a fox with a more efficient set up.
I am on e85, and the 5.0 is on pump gas (maybe meth? idk)
Obviously the 5.0 moves out, but on that day when the Zl1 and the 5.0 ran it lost. The 5.0s suspension was out of whack and he just blew the tires off.
And rematch is coming soon between them, I'm hopefully also running the ZL1
is it common for the new 5.0s to outpower a 04 cobra with a 2.9l blower and 20psi? thats close to a 700rwhp setup
how does the 5.0 make similar power at half the boost?
