04 Cobra vs 08 C6

Finally got the car out last night to meet up with a buddy. I pretty much took a knife to a gun fight running 275 street tires, but either way once I got traction the damage was already done.

I know how ya feel. That's why I started dailying with drag radials.

Good race but I don't think you would of pulled. Even if you had traction.

 

[joseph.devenney]

I don't think so either, but I do think it would have been even or at least closer if I could have hooked up. I stopped his pull once I hooked in 3rd.

~600 wheel on 275 street tires :shrug:

 

[joseph.devenney]

Yeah my big tires are shot, these came with the car so I put them on for time being.

I see people are still running 17lbs of boost on a twinscrew.

You raced on street tires as well. Drag radials of course would have helped but still wouldn't do that blower justice with that boost. You weren't going to pull on 17lbs with a twinscrew. Peak numbers are cool and all though. At least its only a 2.3. There are people that buy a 3.4 crusher setup and run 18lbs and wonder why they loose. Im sure your car still runs well. No offense.

 

[joseph.devenney]

None taken, fuel system and E85+more boost is on my to do list. Next round of mods, whenever that may be!

 

[CobraBob]

Even with a loss, you've got a really nice '04 Mystichrome Cobra there!

 

[whitedevil95]

Im betting this video is circulating on every chevy board in the country.

 

[joseph.devenney]

Well that's gonna ruin my day!

 

[matt87]

cmon you gotta know you need at least 1000 rwhp to beat even a stock c6!

 

[2011 gtcs]

Good run, you win some and you lose some.

 

[Chosyn1]

well that's what i expected...nice runs:beer:

I raced a C6 LS3 last summer that had a full exhaust, intake and tune (stock cam) and the first run we were dead even and 2nd run he put a length on me. I'm surprised the Cobra didn't put up a better fight, even with the traction issue.

 

[joseph.devenney]

When he gets back from overseas I'll have a better set of tires and we'll do it again. If I can hook in second he wouldn't have jumped out on me like he did, which is where he stayed for the rest of the run. Either way his car runs good and we had fun:burnout:

 

[HandBanana]

Looks like a nice car OP. Get some tires on that bad boy.

Thanks:beer:
