A local club had a Sunday drive with a group of really wonderful exotic cars including everything from a 1971 Pantera with 10,000 original miles, to Carrara GT to a GT700 996tt to some pretty wild Corvettes. I only made the first few minutes of the drive as I had to go to a Birthday party for my friend's baby's first birthday, but I did have a little fun.

Here's a video of a couple minutes of footage. Shortly into the video is the C5 Corvette with built motor, twin turbos (T61?) 17 psi and a wet system nitrous oxide system being driven by a set of drag radials. I don't know if he was spraying. The Superformance Shelby Cobra is NA all motor bored and stroked Dart 351 to make a 427 ci with AFR cnc ported 205 heads, 1000 cfm carb and the other regular strong stuff, driven by drag radials.

That video was nothing. Radar detector?

 

Sorry you don't like the video. I sort of thought 39 seconds into the video may be of interest. I don't have a radar detector.

 

you rich yuppie scum...........................not a bad video. HAHA. funny how dated the countach looked next to the newer cars.

 

doesnt your basic twin turbo kit for the c5's give you like 720hp plus nitrous would be around 800 it sure didnt look like he had much more than 400

 

Cool video. Post more!

Shelby Cobra is a dream car for me!

 

Your perception must be confused because the cars are closely matched. Listen to the engine and gears when the Shelby Cobra leaves second at about 4 seconds into the run. The 2 to 3 shift was then missed. It's doing just under 80 mph at that point. A 400 HP C5 isn't going to hang like that, but requires a few seconds longer to achieve the same speed.

The C5 in the video isn't a bolt on set up. It's a full engine tear down and rebuild with forged everything and other goodies. He's running 17 psi on the turbos with methanol injection and a 8 fogger nitrous oxide wet set up.

 

Nice video man.

Just out of curiosity, how hot was it during that video or perhaps your daily meets?? I feel soo uncomfortable to cruise in my car even when its only 85-90, i know how hot it gets over in AZ, like 100+ on a reg??

 

It was about 80F around 10:15 AM, but air intake over the road around 85F to 90F. Actual elevation was around 1400 ft, about 28.8 on the barometer and about 30F dew point temp..... dry, low pressure.... not bad.

 

I'm actually suprised he could even put that power down. This month's R&T has a picture of an LPE C6 TT smoking the tires in third gear at 110 MPH.
