[QUOTE="Aquaman, post: 859865, member: 10535"] Having been someone who learned a lesson from a GN back in the 80's ( I had an 86 928 in 1987) I'll attest to the fact they were fast but they were actually rated higher then the Vettes of the time not lower. The GN had 245hp and the Vette had 230 in 86 plus the GN had 355#'s of TQ vs. 330 for the Vette. And much like the 03 Cobra's of today I ran into very few GN's back then that were stock. The thing about the GN's is they would do a rolling power brake and get the boost up then bam be gone.... Plus stock GN's were actually dynoing in the 230 range while the vettes were seeing 205 or less plus the GN had a higher stall and geared very different then the Vette. Still Vette/GN races back then were very close I was witness to a few, both at the strip and on the street. The 03 Cobra and the Z06 are geared very simillarly and dyno in the same range give or take 5-10 hp but the Z has a 600 pound advantage. And in most cases a 100 pounds is a tenth. At a certain speed mass has very little to do with things but not at the speeds that were talked about here. What color is your car and do you have personalized plates? Also yes I know Brody very well, he's a good friend of mine, and a damn nice guy. Maybe next time I'm out that way we can all get together for a beer. :beer: [/QUOTE]
