nice runs. what mods do you want to do next? post a pic of your car too :rockon:
zo6 vs. ss w/nitrous & pullied cobra
- Thread starter s98mustang
- Start date
His consistency makes him... consistent. It doesn't mean he's fast. It doesn't mean he's slow, it just means he's consistent.s98mustang said:
Look at it this way:
Forget E.T. -- these were roll-on runs.
Fastest stock Z06s runs have been very low 118 mph
Fastest 2.8 pulley, other bolt-ons, tuned '03 Cobras run 123 mph.
That's a 5 mph difference.
A 5 mph difference in the 1/4 mile generally exists between:
Base C5 and Z06
Mach I and Cobra (could be a bit more)
I still say good runs, but I don't think it's a typical outcome of a stock Z06 vs. a 2.8 pullied plus goodies '03/04 Cobra.

Ok lets get this straight. If his car did trap 120 like you say he should and a zo6 traps at about 115-6 then the 2+ cars he beat me by seems to be right.
And im not the ass here i posted a story and you had to come on here and say he should have beat me by 5+ cars which i don't see how 5+ cars is a difference in 4-5mph in trap speeds.

Um budget is a little tight right now because i just bought the car but I'll probably add the vararam cai and some dr's for now. Then once i save a little bit more money by the summer hopefully i'll be able to add headers and a cam. Can't wait to get some mods on it. And i'll try and get pics of it here soon.
WDW dont hate on the guy because he smoked a pullied cobra. And dont make excuse why he did pull the cobra. Just deal with it, the cobra lost. Nobody cares about this excuse and that excuse. Dont take away from the mans kill.
I meant ss w/spray, not cobra
My bad

Can you please stop confusing me with everyone else in this thread. Find one place where I said the Cobra should have won by 5+ cars? Did you find it yet? I know I didn't. My initial response to this thread was simply stating what a pullied Cobra was capable of, since some mentioned that they only trap 118. I never said anything about 5+ cars, I never said all Cobras run mid-11s, and I never said the 2+ car victory was BS.

As mentioned above, the Z06 lost. I never "hated" on anyone.

Then i don't get what your on here arguing about if you agree with the outcoume of the race because we already recognized that there are cobra's that trap 120+ and there are zo6's that trap 118 stock. And i don't think his 118 trap speed is much off of the 120 or so that these other cobra's are trapping. That's like a zo6 trapping 115-6 it's not like they have a weak car just because they trap 2mph or so slower than the fastest zo6 trap speed.
2-3mph is a huge difference at the track, and on the street. That's more than enough to decide the outcome of a race. Trapping 118 in a 2.8-pullied Cobra is 4-5 mph slower than the fastest pullied times, and a couple mph slower than a good pullied time. It doesn't make the Cobra a dog of a car.. it just shows there is something being left on the table in the tune or driving.
As far as stock Z06s, I have never seen an '01 car trap 118. With the intake and exhaust mods that this particular '01 has, I can see it. Either way, arguing over the internet is as dumb as it sounds, so we'll just agree to disagree. :beer:

Well I guess most of us Florida Cobra owners must be bad drivers or we all have crappy cars becase most of the 2.8 Cobras here in Tampa all run 12.0 - 11.9 @ 116-118mph (mine included). Those races sound right on the money, good kill and death!!
Damn WDW, you still maken excuses. Geez just live with it. The cobra only got him by a few car lengths, just get over it already. It wasn't a few bus lengths like you want it to be. And stop dyno racen, aswell as bench racen. We cant race dynos.. Your polluting the mans kill.
wjmorgan, that could be true, or, since it affects all of you, it's more likely that it's bad density altitude. Bad air = hot, humid, high elevation, low barometric pressure, or all of them.
That's why it's good to know, at least in general terms, the DA when you go to the track. You lose approximately 3.5% horsepower for every 1000' of density altitude.
The same 2.8 pullied, bolt-on, tuned Cobra that might run 122 mph at Ennis (Texas) might only run 113 mph at Bandimere. Why? Ennis is at sea level, Bandimere is at about 5800' -- the *same* car at Bandimere, just accounting for elevation, will be down horsepower by approximately 20%, or about 90 horses. At Bandimere, it will run like a 360 rwhp Cobra would do instead of a 450 rwhp Cobra that it runs like when at Ennis.

How can I be dyno racing when I have never mentioned dyno numbers?
oke: I have yet to make an excuse, and have no reason to.
He's only defending himself from you- he didnt call bs/ yada yada at all, he even said nice races then you jumped on him- in fact you jumped on a few people that agreed with you :bash:s98mustang said:
Its the heat and the humidity- but mainly the humidity- plus comeon now how many good drivers are they're in Fl... We dont get any practice. How fast do you have to be to blow the doors off the auto vette with the Old guy in it.wjmorgan said:
oke: Hmm whats your beef with him?.... Oh wait Texas- prolly cant read either :kaboom:03azuremach said:

Yea sounds good to me. I was reading your post with that ferrari and your sl65 amg. Wow your lucky to have that thing. Even though you'd leave us in the dust with that thing i wouldn't mind seeing it happen. We are located in the east bay so not to far from you.
