98 Cobra vs 5.7 GTO M6

[97cobraheaven]

Good friend of mine just got his GTO put back together, one point had headers, cam, and spray till a lifter went and ate the shit out of his cam

Mods:
GTO stock with 18's, but has the driver mod! right foot never leaves the floor

Cobra full bassani exhaust, jlt, and 4.56's on 18's

Leave the bar last night and I already know its gonna be on. He has a passenger as do I

Start from a roll, I am in 2nd right at 3k and he is in first. We hit it and I start to nose him through 2nd, shift to 3rd he inches back a little then I get my lead back up top, shift to 4th he is still at my door and Im pulling slightly, just enough to hold him off, shift to 5th and cant hold him anymore.

When I shifted to 5th he was shifting to 4th

Definitely want to race again when its warm and with better tires

We ran again, both in first but we both got stupid sideways and stayed with it a bit and went to 2nd, spinning again, we both kinda shut it down after that

I wouldn't expect to win very often if you're trying to race people in overdrive. That's like dropping an anchor with the T-45 or the T-3650 (even with gears).

Run it out through 4th and shut it down. :-D

 

[97cobraheaven]

Yeah, that would make more sense. But would that be considered a win? My buddy did say I beat him, so I will take the win

 

[BM1]

You don't shift into 5th at the drag strip do you?

 

[97cobraheaven]

Havent taken this car to the strip yet

 

[BM1]

I meant that as an answer to your question.

 

[Kingcater]

Nice kill

 

[MATT SS]

Good run, you have 4.56 gears
dont u have to shift into 5th?? sooner than if u have stock gears??

 

[Fox Fan]

I'd run it straight to the limiter in 4th before I shifted to 5th... very difficult to stay in the powerband going from 1:1 to .68:1. That would drop you from 7k (isn't that red line?) to 4800 rpm.

I would've thought you would do better against a stock 5.7 ls-1 GTO. especially with a bolt-on 96-98 cobra with 4.56 gears. Stock 5.7 GTO usually run mid 13's with good driving. I'm sure you would do much better from a dig..... good kill nontheless.

. good kill nontheless.

You mean good death.

As far as the race, what speed are you running when you rev out/max out 4th?

 

[04A4GTO]

I would trade my car in if I lost to a GTO

 

[Qwk GT]

nice kill/death.

I usually would stop topping out 4th, but thats just me. I'm not really into those high speed runs.

no good run

 

[97cobraheaven]

my 4th tops out around 120 and I had him all the way till then.

I was hoping to get him a little better than that, but this guy can drive and I wasnt power shifting and was wearing dress shoes.

We have been talkin shit and will run again, but a lifter went bad again for him so he is tearing it down

A buddy of ours said that GTO stands for "Get the Tools Out"

 

[mrbigjeep]

120 is plenty so good KILL

 

[PACETTR]

120 is plenty so good KILL

x2

Good kill...

One of the most stupid things I have read in a long time

 

[ScreaminRedZ]

Very nice kill! I bet that'd be a great race to get on video next time

 

[Team Dave]

One of the most stupid things I have read in a long time

I agree, but it looks like the guy owns a GTO. Now it's more confusing than stupid. :??:
