What does your car run at the strip?

 

[LightningTeg]

Strong running Z. Outcome was what I would expect.

Horsepower isn't everything

What does your car run at the strip?

I haven't taken it to the strip yet, I'll go next season when I get a few more things done. Just got her in December 2013 so this was really my first summer with it.

Runnin vettes especially c6z hp is everything lol I barely edged out same mods c6z that you ran

 

[kcsvt94l]

Yeah, H/C/I C6Z's are pretty well unbeatable on the street. Especially from a roll of that speed nice death.

Yeah for this case horsepower is the only way to get the pass on em, but in general there is more that goes into roll racing than horsepower. The driver, gearing, power/weight ratio thats all I meant. Man a C6z wouldn't be another badass toy to have

 

[Ghoust]

To beat a C6Z..an 03 Cobra should have at least a 150hp advantage. Nice run!

 

[2011 gtcs]

Good run, H/C/I C6Zs are strong runners

Yup - been said many times, around 150 more hp to keep up/maybe win.

Time for some weight reduction, I still don't and won't believe a properly setup Cobra or any 96-04 for that matter, needs 100whp more to beat a C6Z. Maybe I just don't realize how quick the Z's are, but until I see it first hand or I personally run a C6z I just won't believe it lol.

I guess Cobra's are a little worse off, weighing in about 500lbs more then the C6Z.

Out of curiosity what are your cooling mods? What are you exhaust mods? Do you have a full idler setup? Assuming you are stock weight maybe a little more?

H/c/I c6zs are no joke at highway speeds

 

[ian04]

I didn't believe it either until I saw it with my own eyes, you think you've got fast until you run into something faster lol yep my cobra has no weight reduction and it's approximately 300lbs heavier. Both cars had a passenger.

Out of curiosity what are your cooling mods? What are you exhaust mods? Do you have a full idler setup? Assuming you are stock weight maybe a little more?

No cooling mods. The intake air temps were sitting around 59-60 because of such a cool day/evening it was. Heat was not an issue. No idler setup and stock weight yes. Even has spare tire still.

Yeah I'm happy it kept up the way it did but power to weight ratio and those 8k rpm shifts really matter when it comes down to it, thanks !
