Its a turbo car so he may have had some low octane and got some kr or something, you never know. Did you see the strange back and forth action? Thats not really typical in a highway race so something could have been wrong, or maybe the f-bod is gutted and the Cobra is full interior so there could be a lot of weight difference. Just throwing some stuff out there, street races dont always work out like they should on paper.

The Cobra should've whooped the **** outta that Camaro. He had a 250RWHP advantage!

... But ****, there's nothing I can say in the Cobra's defense. Maybe he made the 850RWHP at full boost and cut the boost down for this run. That's about the only thing I can think of

Props to that Camaro driver.

That looked about right since the cobra looked like it was pulling the camaro hard toward the middle of the video before the back and forth action.

I know that the Camaro isn't gutted. Termin8r is on here (or was, I haven't seen him in a while). My guess is that the 850 was with race gas and that race was on pump gas.

2 very fast cars, i bet the SS had a good amount of torque to throw him out in front at first. but being short that kind of hp points to things like weight, torque and aerodynamics and of course driver.
