Driver's race. I've seen it go both ways.
It really depends on the cars, their condition, the atmosphere, and traction at that point.
Keep in mind there are many Z06 drivers who do NOT know how to drive their cars properly. It takes about a 70-80rwhp difference for the Cobra to stay even with a competent driver.
If I had to choose, I'd take the Z06 though (as you can guess). Giving up a lot of power, but, you have the weight, aerodynamic, gearing, and setup (better IRS) advantage.

Your Cobra weighs almost 3700lbs and had 455rwhp with just an upper pulley. The vette had 400rwhp and weighs around 3100lbs.
Cobra - 8.13lb per hp with worse aerodynamics
Vette - 7.75lb per hp
How did you beat him? Or as you put, how did you beat the car?

Dude, I wasn't going to jump in on this until you started pulling BS out of your you know what.
A proper intake, such as a Vararam, or Callaway Honker, adds a decent amount of HP to a C5 Z06. Especially the Honker, because it relocates the Mass Air Sensor closer to the TB.
Please don't post Bullsh*t unless you're trying to be funny...

Read the thread more closely. We aren't talking about a Vararam or a ******* Callaway "Honker". Teching In

Just an FYI, when me and stock C5 punched at 60mph, instantly my car started to pull away and when i was 1 car ahead, i shifted to 4th and pulled more. i am taking the driver out of the picture and comparing 2 cars, when we both punched, my cobra started to pull away. we weren't even or anything, it was instant. driver of the Z was a very good driver who is a well know street racer here and owns a 9 sec cobra.
With enough mods, sure a Cobra will pull on a stock C5 Z regardless of whether or not he's a good driver though...

is this enough??

if not, how about this (almost 123mph trap without powershifting)
http://videos.streetfire.net/video/6...5e0011347a.htm
or how about this 380fwhp srt-4 which is lighter than a vette getting walked on by me:

That made me cringe when I watched him do his "burnout".

Once again, no one said you didnt run a 11.3.... Although no one really knows what your mods are.
You ran a Charger in the second run.... Probably a RT model. No vette again.
An srt might have more peak power, but power under the curve is something completely different. All youve shown me is your car runs pretty good for the mods.... Nothing else.

a lot of people knows what my mods are. just you don't and looks like you refuse to believe. Sir, whatever you saw on the video was my all mods.
lol, i didn't post that video for that charger. I posted it to show that the car trapped 122.8mph which a c5 Z06 would be lucky to get close that trap.
oh BTW: that was a "modded" (intake, catback) srt-8
and about the srt-4, that thing ran 11.8 FYI
