How bad will I get Beat!
Ive seen some mega hp cars get beaten my far inferior hp cars by driver error shifting or traction issues with the high hp mule or whatever. I have major traction problems in my Z06 and our Cobalt (my sons I should say) can easily take me off the line and through a couple gears before I start realing it in.
Hes surprised a few Z06's at the track also and I have one instance on video I should post where he leaped a C5 Z06 by 3-4 cars off the line till the guy started to reeel him in about the 1/8 mile but the guy never caught up cause he just couldnt hook up even though it was bone stock (just barely beat him by .15).

I would love to see a Z06 go against a whipple cobra.
03-04 cobras have a completly forged motor...more than safely capable of holding more horse than a z06 even the new LS7's. I should know...my friend just bought a C6 Z06 and has to have his internals replaced to run a turbo.
Whipple cobra > than Z06...sorry.
I have seen whipples cobras putting out 780 whp on stock internals.

you better be talking about a c6 z06 (in which case i bow to you) because if you are tlaking about like a stock c5 z06, this specific cobra would run you down. Think about it this way, with his mods he should be trapping near 120, you shouldn't even be trapping 110 in the cobalt with your mods...this will be like a 2.2 racing an ss/sc with mods.
me and one of my classmates were talking a couple days ago about cars and he mentioned having a cobra with a supercharger pushing like 350-400rwhp
then the topic of supercharged cobalts came up, he mentioned that the cobalt actually kept up with him, he beat it by 2/3 car lengths, but dont know much about the race details such as dig, roll etc

Won't even be close man. A friend of mine has a 03 termie making 450rwhp to my 395rwhp. Between weight and aerodynamics it takes me till 120 to start inching away from him. I trap 115 on average in the 1/4. It also depends on the driver though.

It would have to have it's internals replaced cause it has a high compression ration. I dunno about you, but I'm not trying to turbo charge a car to high horsepower numbers with a 11.0:1 compression ratio (I think that's what the Vette has).
Whipple Cobra<Z06
Keep in mind the Z06 also weighs how much less than the Cobra?? Similarly powered Z06's will walk a Cobra anyday.

A whipple cobra will beat ANY stock Z06 and a VERY heavy moddified C5 Z06.
Again, if you run 700whp in a cobra you won't have to replace anything...if you run that in a Z06 your gonna bust differentials, trannies, pistons, rods, and the list keeps going on.

yeah well...next time you pull up to a Z06 on the auto cross...let me know.
I'm talking on the street.
Whipple Cobra > C6 Z06
Go to the corvette forums...ask...even they will tell you.
Last time I checked in...a low psi 600whp cobra was pulling 2-3 car lengths on the new Z06.
I can give you the link to the conversation if you want?
You have to realize I am talking about a very moddified cobra..not a plain jane 03-04.
You make it sound like the Z06 is unbeatable which is far far far from the truth.
