I wish I had that on video I would post it up, I was there that day but didn't have my camera with me. To the original poster come to Dallas there are plenty of pullied cobras for you to run. Hell I'll run you in my GT.
I raced my first stock Z06 when my car was making 402rwh and 400rwt (exhaust, nittos, canned tune and intake) I had him by a bumper so a pullied cobra should take one down easy. Equal driver of course 
here is what my friend ran at the track with his C5Z06 in some good weather.
minor bolt ons :rockon:
1) 12.25/115 1.90
2) 12.07/116 1.79
3) 11.78/116 1.69

Ok, im going to say this ONE more time for BOTH VETTE AND MUSTANG OWNERS...
COBRA OWNERS: Being able to make MAJOR HP numbers with little mods will not always mean you win the race. your KB hasnt lost.....yet. you will lose to cars with slightly less power and less weight sometimes.
CORVETTE OWNERS: ALL the aero and weights savings your car has wont save your ass every time in a race. You will lose to cars that weigh more, with more power sometimes....
Best post ever?
Thats some good racing. IMO had it been a 2.76 pullied coupe it wouldnt even be a race. Id say a exhasut, cai, tune Cobra is a good match up for a stock Z. If you think about it a Cobra with those few mods puts down 400-420rwhp. A stock Z puts down 340-360 I guess from what Ive seen. SO youre talking a 40-60 rwhp power difference. Plenty enough to make up the weight difference. Id say that would be a good match up with competent drivers.
A pullied up Cobra... Not so much. Now I know A stock Z can beat a pulley cobra but with both having good drivers it just aint gonna happen. This last vid proved it. That cobra just flat out out powered the Z.

LOL Yeah it was more than any one damn car. I cant believe he said that knowing the vid was gonna be up. That was a good 3+ cars when they let out and the Cobra was steady pulling. It would have got worse till 150+.
Heres a short vid of me racing a C5Z. The Z had exhaust and intake, and I think a 100 shot but he wasn't spraying on this run. He ran an 11.4 off the sauce. All I had was exhaust so I'm pretty sure I'll run em down with a pulley, intake, tune and he isn't even stock. And I had my top down! :lol1:

LOL Yeah with a pulley you would have blown by that Z. From the vid Id have to say its not an 11.40 car either. I mean hell you kept up with it pretty good. Like I said above a stock C5Z and a exhaust, CAI Cobra is a good race.
A good running BPU Cobra with a good driver is gonna beat a stock or mildly modded C5Z. Its just numbers playing out.
Heck Id take it as a compliment if I was the Z guys. Jesus youve got a stock car that we have to have 80-100 more hp to outrun!
Although it is apples and oranges really. World class sports car against a old American Muscle car.
IMO the 03/04 Cobra is the last of the real American Muscle cars. Just my opinion.
I found a vid of a 2.76 pullied Cobra vert against a stock Z06. Why is it that the Cobra didn't kill the Z06 in this run or in mine? I'm really starting to think there is more to this.

Because there is so much more to it than just mods. I mean really man. Dont we all know that? Either car is slow on a shift or a launch and its good bye. Ill argue the point till the end that as I said a "properly" driven good running pullied Cobra against a stock or simple mod Z the Cobra is gonna and should win. Its just fact. You can argue all you want but it doesnt change the fact. Yes its not such a difference that even shitty drivers in Cobras can win but a competent driver should win hands down. It just makes enough power to overcome the weight difference.
I mean that last vid the Cobra started behind the Vette and left behind him and still went by him. It showed with out a doubt the power difference between the two cars. The Cobra didnt out drive him. He out powered him. He out ran him.
In the video, it looked like a Cobra did a granny shift. It might be a difference outcome with a good driver. I used to have stock 4.6 with Paxton running 10 psi. That time my rwhp was 425 and 380 rwtqr. I beat a Z06 but not by much, his front fender was at my door. I didn't know whether he had a stick shift or automatic (I could only hear my exhaust at a time) but I did beat him.
Those guys on LS1tech are arguing over the goddamn video. I mean they have video of it and are still arguing. Thers a still pic that shows the Cobra out 3 lengths and started from 1/2 a length down and they are still trying to argue about it.
The driver is saying I let off at one car length when you can clearly hear him at full tilt when the cobra is 3+ up on him. Ive never seen such BS.

All Z06's are 6spds.
OMG Here we go with the loser bringing out the :bs: flag becasue he got spanked...
You don't know what you talking about because the video I posted of me racing a pullied Cobra I won. Go back and read the thread again
