09 ss vs 03 c5z

Well quick race I had with my friend. I was driving the z he had the balt. From 40-110 the vette won by 3 feet. Vette has heads/cam, cai, headers xpipe and tune. Cobalt has full 3 inch intake, full 3 inch exhaust, gt3076r and is running 25psi of boost. I thought for sure my vette would win easily and was shocked at how close it was. Literally neck and neck with the vette just barely inching away. So the good that comes out of this story, I own both cars and now know that my dd can wax just about anything I come across. The bad, now I have to dump some serious cash in the vette to put the cobalt back in it's place.

Why? Unless you're running full slicks the cobalt has zero chance against the Z06 from a dig. Why are you people so fascinated with roll racing on this site? It means nothing. It's for pussies who can't drive.

More details on both cars. What heads/Ca, set up? What power is the balt putting down?

roll racing shows which car accelerates faster.. thats what they were going for.. not who can drive better..
