This video was posted over on another forum. It's of a new 2006 Corvette Z06 vs. a modified SVT Cobra with
-Steeda intake
-X-pipe w/no cats
-Magnaflow cat-back
-Diablo Chip
-Smaller pulley
-Kenny Brown full suspension
-approx. 460+ RWHP

I watched the video a few times and it looks like that Cobra took about 13 seconds to get to 100 mph, and the Z06 was about 4 seconds ahead at that point. The Cobra took about 24 seconds to get to 140 mph in the second run. A better race for that Cobra might have been a stock FD.

that zo6 sounded AMAZING! and whats up with the stupid high pitched wine the mustang makes?

Wow, that Cobra got shut down hard. I would believe that with those mods, the Cobra might have either more horsepower, or put up a better fight though.

It's the stock supercharger on the Mustang.

siamiam

sounds like the Supercharger

I don't like that sound..... Wow to that Vette though.

I can't wait to buy a C6 Z06 used a few years from now and twin turbo it, until then I will be out looking to see how I fair against one with my FD.

That is the perfect example of why GM should have bought Mazda out in the early 90's rather than Ford. Ford actully was the one the stoped producing the RX7 and the Engenners at Mazda beged them to let them remake the RX. I'll never buy a Found On Road Dead (ford) Now put that supercharger on that vette and you will really move.

Now I hope you now the Zo6 has a 6 speed tranny with an extreaml tall final gear. Like the rx7. Yet the rx7 is a little motor with little torque so it lacks acceleration in the low end but has killer speed. As most of you already know. The vett is 3 times stronger and has a lot more torque with a taller final gear. Forget about horse power and torque numbers at this moment. that mustang is set up to take off the line with a shorter final gear and a taller first gear for torque that is why after some time in that video you see the zo6 pulling and pulling. . . God Bless GM. And even more so the Vette weighs less cuz it's plastic. Final verdict. . . . . when out on the road don't mess with no vetts!

I sold my FD when I stopped street racing, but picked up another fun car a few months back.

I've seen four of the new Corvette Z06s here in Scottsdale, AZ. I actually had a yellow 2006 Z06 doing the full throttle blasts to try to get me to run him on the freeway a couple weeks ago. It was painful to not do it, but I suspect I'd of put about a block on the guy in the first few seconds. I caught up to the guy in the Z06 a bit later after exiting from the freeway and hitting a red light. He said he just picked up the car used about 20 minutes ago. We had a nice conversation about our cars, engines weights and such and went on our way.

Ford still kills GM..partly why GM had to shut down a factory only for it to be bought by Toyota, and if Ford is Found On Road Dead to u, then i guess Chevrolet is Cracked Heads Every Valve Rattles Oil Leaks Engine Ticks..one race doesnt settle it, but that Vette was quick.

Romancer

That cobra would have obliterated a stock FD.

510crank > 255 crank

Weight wouldn't even matter.

The cobra guy clearly couldn't drive.

Race two was much closer.

particleeffect

do you just make this **** up? the FD wasn't selling well in the US in 94/95 and was going to cost more money to make OBD2 ready. go figure. i guess ford should have just carried mazda more and let them sell FD's at a loss. damn ford!

shpuz

then why does my dads 1990's(dont know what year) ford F150 make that noise when he goes over 3K prm?

Take a Z06 supercharge it and it will put bus lengths on a mustang, better yet get the lingenfelter twin turbo kit and put football fields on a silly modded mustang. Mustangs are not even in the same class as Z06's it would be more fair to compare the GTO vs. Mustang

Romancer

Well, they cater to different audiences. There are plenty of "silly modded mustangs" that would pull buslengths on a supercharged Z06. The mustangs that could pull on a ligenfelter TT are all drag cars, however. Once you get into the more power, displacement matters more and more. Lets not get carried away though. There are many cobras who would eat the Z06 for lunch. Its an endless cycle. But yes, you are right. Mustangs and Vettes are in different classes. Shock of the century.

Notice how I said that it would be more fair to the mustang, to be racing a GTO or maybe even a 350Z with mods.

What Cobra's could eat a Z06 for lunch I would pay to see that in real life. And by the way the Z06 can lap the nurburgring at 7:42.XXX to make a compareson look at this chart I got off the Motor Trend site

*note no fords to be found only supercars!

Porsche Carrera GT 7:32
Chevrolet Corvette Z06 7:42
Porsche 996 GT2 7:42
Pagani Zonda S 7:44
Lamborghini Murciélago 7:50
Lamborghini Gallardo 7:52
Mercedes-McLaren SR 7:52
Chevrolet Corvette C6 7:59
Porsche 911 8:07
Dodge Viper GTS 8:10

Watch the video. For the first run when the Cobra takes 13 seconds to go from third beep to 100 mph it would have been about as fast as a stock FD. Last time I checked this is about the same as the three FDs I've owened anyway when they were in stock trim. The Cobra actually takes 24 seconds to go to 140 mph in the second run.

Well next time you go race at the Nurburgring, you can keep that in mind Face it, 99% of people race in a straight line. So when your *** gets handed to you by a Mustang or Camaro.. just tell them your car can lap the Nurburgring faster.. Im sure they'll care.
