^^^ watch his other vids. Been watching that guys vids for a long while. He used to have a pretty impressive c5 z06. I think he got rid of the c5 to get the c6. I'm sure that will be modded soon enough. And stage 3 skittles aren't that slow. Especially on e85. quite a few have put down 380whp+ on the stage 3. But there is no way in hell that Balt had 450whp lol. The srt4 is probably 370-400 ish at the wheels and they probably had a typo and meant 350whp for the Balt lol

They make good peak power but fall on their faces quick. All the dynos ive seen have made peak whp/ wtq before 5k rpms and then fall off drastically by 5kish. This would explain why the ZO6 pulls so much harder up top. Id be willing to bet his power curve holds all the way to redline.

For the record Stage 3 with toys e85 srt 4's have trapped over 120 with the majority trapping around 118ish.

Stock c6 z06 traps 125 and pulls even stronger if started in its sweet spot of power range which is 60 + mph. No surprise there the SRT lost ..... not sure why people think it shouldn't have or either I am missing something?


Now the cobalt is obviously not what was stated in the video. Probably just someone shooting their mouth off about some bull crap they saw on youtube or the forums trying to impress the people driving these vehicles.
