Yeah drivers being equal, you should pull him. If he is stock, you got him. After intake and exhaust it will be closer. But with your mods he will need a cam, SC, or N20 to beat you. Bolt ons for him will make for some good races.

Sounds like the Cobra would take the win, but all cars and drivers are different. You may never know what will happen. Those Z06's can hook like a SOB on the street if driven right. A Cobra could be over powered easily off the line. Who knows...just my 2 cents. Post up some vids if it ever happens. Both cars are badass regardless of the outcome!

Yeah, you should beat him with your mods, but it will probably end up being a driver's race. Good luck!

if hes is stock you shouldn't have much of a problem.. Especially from a roll. 3 cars maybe depending on driving skills.

Should be a good match-up. From a dead stop, I'd put my money on the ZO6.
If driven right , the Z hooks much better than a Cobra, giving it the advantage on the hole shot. Don't think your mods will be enough to reel him in. Things might be different if he's on stock tires and you use drag radials or slicks.

However, from a roll, I might have to give you the advantage. Again this will largely depend on driver, proper gear selection, and good shifting.

Video runs from a dead stop, 20, 40, and 70 mph rolls.:rockon:

You'll win if you know how to shift. I have pretty much the same mods as you and I raced a stock ZO6 from a 40 roll in 2nd gear (which is a bad roll for our cars). We went all the way to 145mph. Right off the bat I pulled two cars on him but he slowly realed me in; by the time we hit 140 or sowe were side by side. If we would've kept going, he would've passed me - it's arodynamics at those high speeds...Our cars suck. If you go from a roll, go from a 30 roll in 1st gear. That seems to be the best roll for me to race from. Post the outcome! Good luck,

Brandon
