My friend just picked up a 2004 DSG Vert Cobra and I was dying for a race stock for stock in my new car. My FRC is completly stock (until this coming Tuesday) and Ive been tryng to get him on the highway for a few pulls to see where I stand in the food chain. Well here we go.
First run: On the highway and he pulls aside me. I slow down to about 45 in second gear and he does the same. We took off and I instantly pull about a 1/2 to 3/4 of a car and he stays right on my tail. We ended pretty fast because I had to do a nose dive to stay out of an 18 wheeler trailer.
Second run: Same thing. I pulled him first and he stayed right on my tail and couldnt pull back. He said he didnt think he was in the right gear and we have to go again when we leave our destination. I was cool with that.
Third run: We left our destination and he let another friend of ours drive whom is very familiar with the 2003-2004 Cobra's. I was cool with that. We get on a little back stretch and we took off. Twice in a row I pulled him and due to his spinning, they couldnt catch me or pull. Stock for Stock I won because of the weight advantage (without a doubt). It was all in good fun and I honestly thought he was gonna pull me really hard. To my surprise, he didnt.
All in all... im very happy with my swap from the Cobra to the Vette! Ive never been a big fan of LS1 owners... but I take everyone with a grain of salt anyhow.
Next week... full exhause and a new SLP BlackWing!!! January... heads and cam!!! epper: epper: epper:
GOOD RUNS, JAY!!!!
