Cobra needs more boost to keep up with a stockish ZO6

he pulled the Z top-end with only 17psi...not easy to do against that car.

 

[Eagle]

The vette destroys him in the 1st vid and suddenly he's able to maintain then pull ahead in the 2nd? Doesn't make any sense unless there is driver error in play...

 

[Mook]

nitrous didnt work the first time

 

[Eagle]

i HATE when that happens....

Race details:
Weather was a cold 47 degrees out. Neither one of us could get traction, as you can see in the first two videos, but we made the best of it.

 

[Eagle]

whatever... the Z walked away hard on the first one and kept pulling, without a hint of traction issues from the pony. Suddenly the next run they're neck in neck without much more than chirps on shifts?

 

[syP]

whatever... 580WHP should have RAPED what... ~500whp on the Z?

 

[Eagle]

like I said... something doesn't add up.

 

[Mook]

possible shenanigans?

 

[Mook]

might not be. another example of a high hp cobra losing

Looks like the first run the vette drove better and the second run was the cobra just not having enough to get ahead at all.......

So Eric ready for Tom's car?

haters gonna hate.
this is directly from the drivers...and despite what some of you may think, those cars with their power levels performed pretty much exactly as expected. @ shenanigans/spray..come on

updated post with youtube links and all 4 vids

I wouldnt mind running Tom for fun this year, though. Gimme the hit from a 40 roll and let me run for my life!!

Is the Cobra running a different tune at the track (race gas)?

The Z06 is considerably lighter, has better aero and gearing so I'd expect this to be a close race.

EXACTLY. thank you.
And yea, you nailed it..pretty sure he's running higher octane, as well as a slightly smaller pulley (making 620rwhp instead of his 580)
