[QUOTE="03CobraBro, post: 858502, member: 6490"] No I dont beleive we have met. I moved to the Fishers area about a year and a half ago. Anyway, about posting the kill... You have to understand, its just a moral boost. It makes you feel good when you win, reguardless the circumstances. There's nothing wrong with alittle harmless braging atleast in my opinion. Lastly about the physics, from a roll is when the Cobra is more likely to hang with a Z. You have to remember, from a roll, say 30 to 40 mph, you dont have to worry about traction, unless your running a rediculous ammount of power, you also do not have to worry about launching the extra weight one the car is already moving, also aero dynamics. Really, the Corvettes superior aero dynamics will not show through as that great of an advantage until high speeds, like 120+. The Buick Grand National (otherwise known as the Darth Vadar brick) proved that back in the mid 80's when it was walking all over the L98 C4. It was a much heavier, and I dont think you'll argue on this one, much less aero dynamic automobile (G-body) than the Corvette at the time and yet there it was embarassing the vette by over a full second in the quarter and all the way up to the Grand Nationals electronically limited 124mph, a vette that supposidly outpowered the Grand National by a good 10 to 20hp. (I'm not saying this to offend you but alot of Vette owners from that time period said the exact same thing you are saying, pretty much that it was impossible for a Buick G-body to be able to beat the nimble, sleek, high powered L98 C4 esspecially when it came to speeds of over 100, yet that GN did just that.) Now, as far as the original posters story is concerned, I dont know if the guy actually walked away from the Z like he says, but it is easy to exagerate stories sometimes and thats something that all of us have been guilty of at one time or another you have to admit.
