My eye's are bleeding. Don't let him get a cobra
LOL i didnt even notice that, give the revive credit to truculentSVT tho.
You couldn't find any older threads :shrug:
this thread reminds me of a frankenstein movie where the dead monster comes back to life. :lol1:
I think the GT500s look great, but I would have to agree that the Terminator cobras are generally faster....Me vs. Modded GT500
YouTube - Lt1 Trans am 150 shot vs. 2011 GT500.
Uh, I think you mean quicker. As for faster, it looked like after you tree'd him (on sticky tires?) , he was flying up pretty fast and had you by about 9 mph at the end of the quarter? Yeah, he's slow. :rollseyes
Why? The GT500 trumps the 03/04 in just about every performance category, and IMHO the GT500 looks far meaner than the Terminator :shrug:
The Vette rolled out, but I guess no one watched the video posted by the GT500 showing the same race? YouTube - SlowWhiteShelby VS ThepunisherZ06
The first race the GT500 honked 3 times and hit it and the vette didn't move (or either didn't come up fast enough to get in the camera's view). The next races the Vette took off after TWO honks NOT THREE!:nono: The GT500 was waiting to take off on the 3rd honk, so that's why he was sitting still when the vette left. Doesn't mean the GT500 would've won the race, but it definitely wouldn't have been the results that were showed from the Vette's camera. If someone with that much power takes the hit you stand NO CHANCE at running them down. I'd like to see a them race with BOTH cars taking off on the 3rd honk and see what the difference is then!
Yes this is an old thread.. But looking back, many of you were missing one important aspect of this race. If you read Hutnem's post that I quoted below, you will see the GT500 raced the Z a few times, before the video clips that were posted on this thread were recorded.
Its very important to realize that after the GT500 races a few times, HEAT SOAK sets in on the blower, and he is making NO WHERE near 700 at the wheels. Probably losing in the neighborhood of 75-100 rwhp.
I cant tell you how many times that I have seen ZO6 drivers, bate the GT500 drivers into false starts, or some kind of excuse to get the GT500 to go WOT to get the supercharger all heated up. The Z drivers record the race after the GT500 blower is all heated up. You GT500 drivers have to be smarter than this!! IF the Z06 screws the first race up, and bates you into racing a few moments later.. Dont race him again for quite a while. Give your car time to cool down.. like 5 mins.
You just have to watch out for heat soak!
