[QUOTE="Cman01, post: 16308798, member: 138028"] A stock or mildly modded 03 Cobra doesn't touch a C6 Z06 that's stock and definitely mildly modded. I've wasted plenty of Cobras with my C6Z, the lighter weight and better aero with LS7 power keeps it ahead. You need big blower power on the Cobra to be ahead and then a HCI C6Z can easily run with it or away. That's why my Z has a nickname, I called it "Whipple Whipper". Now the Ferrari thing, 812 Superfast is 3850lbs (same as 13/14 GT500) so yes in a way pushing 2 tons as you say but still 300 lbs lighter. It's pushing 2 tons with a driver and last time I checked the new 500 has a DCT but doesn't self drive itself so add a driver in that car and it's still much heavier than an 812. The 812 is a GT car so yes the 500 probably could handle better than it but in acceleration and top speed the Superfast will be ahead + that DCT shifts like nothing else on earth I'm pretty sure the Tremec DCT will be playing catch up to be like the Ferrari trans. Your comment about mod friendly, 4 digit power etc etc NOBODY really knows yet so you are just going by what can be done with the previous powerplants. The big unknown is still that DCT, making all the extra power isn't going to do anything with a trans that won't live to put that torque to the pavement. [MEDIA=youtube]rn3AnPYm_Zg[/MEDIA] Your continued defense of the new 500 is admirable, but I really don't think it should take 10+ months for all the stats to be released (I hear a press thing is happening shortly so maybe we will FINALLY know all). As I've said earlier my patience ran out for this car so I'm pounding the pavement with a new ZR1. I have more patience in my lotto #'s coming through so I can park a Superfast (love it, my current dream car) in my garage with my ZR1. Tony [/QUOTE]
