C5 Corvette, Blown SVT Cobra
 
It's nice to be able to play with the big boys and come out on top. :D

Suggestions for improvement?

Did you race them or what, details would improve this thread ALOT.

Yes, I raced both. I beat C5 the Corvette from a second-gear roll, and the Cobra from a third gear while roll running 17psi on pump-gas. Both owners were pretty nice about it too. Corvette owner actually said "You're too fast for me."

/I think the SVT would have won from a dig.

Ok now that's much better! :bigthumb:

More details would be even better. As in when did you start pulling, and an estimate on how many car lenghts you won by, and ending speed. :)

I was at about 5k in 2nd gear for the run against the C5. We ran up through 3rd, and I gained approximately 1.5 car lengths. I'm not sure how fast we were going.

I ran the SVT from 3rd gear through 4th, and pulled about a car length.

cool good kills!

my buddy/coworker has an 03 cobra and just about rapes the shit out my car when he is in 3rd. I'm dead even with him in 1-2nd though.

They come from the factory with a ridiculous amount tire, which is why I assumed he'd walk me from a dig. I'm running 195's in the rear to save the diff from kersploding, which makes for a lot of wheel-spin on launch.

Even in 3rd gear, those things are damned fast. I honestly think I have more to fear from them than from Corvettes. I was really happy to get a C5 tho, as it's kind of a right of passage for first-gen guys. :)

yeah my friend says that his 3rd gear pulls harder than 1st or 2nd :scratch: :eek:
