Cobra Vs. C5
Merging from one Interstate to another last night on my way home I spot the unmistakable 4 circular tail lights ahead of a Vette. From the distance I couldn't tell if it was a C6 or C5. I speed up and as I'm coming up to him I realize that it's just a C5, and I'm a little bummed after having tried to bait 2 different C6's into racing earlier with no luck.
As I go by I give him a rev just to see if he wants to mess around but he just holds the same speed. So I just continue on my way and leave him be. Go around a couple curves and as I'm coming up to another here come a pair of headlights flying up to me and guess who? It's the C5! So I drop to 3rd going through the curve and as soon as we hit the straight (which is a slight downhill slope as well) he nails it. I knew this was gonna be bad for him, I have him in power, and going downhill my extra weight will actually start to help me. I follow suit and nail it, He had got his front wheel in front of my bumper with the hit but within a couple seconds his front bumper was at my rear. A car and a half ahead I powershift to 4th and see a reflection of a flash off the front of his car which was surely a couple flames shooting out my tail pipes, I let out at the top of 4th doing about 135ish and I'm a few buses ahead. I slow back down to cruising speed and he comes by giving me a thumbs up which I return, although I'm sure he didn't see it. He then exits and I proceed home. I give him credit for trying despite having seen my license plate beforehand. |

His jump is crazy. we tried again i brake boosted and still no luck due to spinning :( he wouldnt give me my 60 roll. ill get it eventually. (Not trying to thread jack dude) but thanks for telling me since he hasent dyno and i havent either lol

Was this car a C5 Z06 or... just a C5?
I only ask because your Cobra with NO modifications, would absolutely, without question, destroy a C5. That C5 could have Jesus behind the wheel, and it would stand no chance, at all. Ever. I have beat a half dozen C5's with my old 3900lb, fwd, Pontiac GTP. With a bad tranny. That car made roughly 250hp/320ft-lbs. And my GTP could only hang with a blowered Cobra until 60km/hr, then it was over. Which, coincidentally, was about when the Cobra got traction. :P |
