@alex369 depends on the cobra. Is this a 427? or is this the 287? If it was the 287 then it's a lot less horsepower than the vette. Either way the cobra is still in my opinion the best car ever made
Yeah that sounded like a 5.0... If it had the 500hp 427 in it, the Vette wouldnt catch the Cobra until it ran out gear at about 165mph... 90% of the cobras on here are kit cars with 5.0's or 5.8 motors in them. Aerodynamics would definetly be in the vettes favor after 150mph.
It definetly looked like the Cobra ran out of gear... If the race would of started a little lower the Vette would definetly be playing catch up. The Cobra dominated the 60's and 70's and is still going strong today - Love it, thanks for the great car Carroll Shelby.
idk why everyone is complaining, the cobra isnt a 427, if it was it would have smoked the vette and been much louder, i think it was a good race for a 302 cobra replica with most likely a 3.73 or a 4.10 gear
I would like to see that Z06 with the same gears as the cobra and yes off the hole. I have better take off on my vette with 4;10s than on my stang with 4;10s
not to mention the vette was honking and knew wen he was gunna do the 3rd honk thats such an advantage and he was half a car ahead of the cobra which is only a 4 speed so he was prob almost out of gears ahaha from a stop if that Cobra hoocked up it would kill the vette why doesnt anybody go from a stop and have sum1 say wen thats what we do:S passenger says ready set GO!
I give lots of props to the vette since there is a big.......>>> gap in weight differences. Just imagine if the vette weighted the same as that Shelby.
There is absolutely no way in hell that a stock Z06 (with a pipe) would beat a cobra. I'll doublecheck with Stephen Hawkin, but I don't think the laws of physics have been repealed.
I 100% agree there is no way stock Z06 could beat the AC Cobra Ive had the pleasure of driving in both cars the Cobra was a replica but its pretty much the same were performance is concern and the AC will kill the Z06 i drove in
No Doubt the Z06 is an awesome car, but power to weight it what matters most. The lighter the car the quicker it can accelerate. This is a cool video of a couple guys messin' around on a Friday night. A real drage race and the Cobra would come out on top.
I'm more of a chevy fan and I have to say if that was a 427 cobra that vette would've been beaten in an instant on take off. And on roll on the cobra would've still won if it was the 427.
alex369 is a liar, he is not the driver of the Z06.
I am the owner of the cobra in the video. It is a Factory Five kit car and at that time made 330RWHP with a 351W, we raced from a roll because the ZO6 didn't have a chance in the world from a stop.
Baja says Alex is pathetic because he's comparing a new car to an old one, then he goes on to make excuses for the Cobra. Baja, off the top of my head I know 3 people who think the old 427 AC is faster than the new C6 Z06, so comparing a 385 hp 2001 Z06 to a 1965 427 AC is just as necessary.
just like shown in the above video. I actually think if the shelby would of had the 289 it would of been better for top end than with the 427. The 427 has too much trq but 289 should be faster on top end.
so that means I will win the 1/4 mile. If its rolling its worse. LOL why do you think 99% of all mustang owners race off the hole and with good tires. (( because mustang is only good on take off because of trq)) Just like a shelby. the shelby might jump on the vette on the take off but by the time they get to the end of the track the vette catches up and passes him.
Now thats not a big difference if we are racing a 1/4 mile and my car is better on higher gears when I shift my vette since vettes are better on top end my vette might not be faster than the shelby on 0-60 but it will for sure be faster 0-100 or 0-150 because vettes are practically made more for top end.
Well back to my other point..... 0-60 demonstrates the trq of the car now as an example lets say my vette does 0-60 in 4.2 and i am racing a shelby that does 0-60 in 3.8 secs (this is an example)
Lol and again I tell you 427 is trq your supporting my point. 0-60 is practically a demonstration of how good the trq on the cra is on the take off. The new regular C6 not the C6 Z06 does 0-60 in 4.2 secs with 400 hp. A cobra has more hp and still doesent go below 4 secs which is embarrasing. A Z06 just to let you know goes 0-60 in the mid 3 secs jsut to let you know so it is faster than a shelby 0-60.
Not true...a real AC 427 Cobra did 0-60 in less than 4 seconds. It would eat the Z06 for breakfast on it's worst day. Don't talk shit...you really don't understand the capabilities of a real Cobra. I own two.
Z06 did it in 3.4, 1/4 mile in 11.4, cobra didnt, they ran in 12second class. My friends dad had one and he told me about everything that went into that car almost everyday, pretty annoying actually, he had 12.0.1 pistons in it and cammed out and was only hitting low 11's, so you figure high comp. pistons, and cams add alot of HP, they are nice, but i watched pittsburgh raceway a C6 Z06(stock) vs a 427Side Oiler(restored,stock) and the vette won
Well if you need more info so you can see its a real cobra for sure go to my online vette club www.digitalcorvettes.com my name is alex36 and you can see my car and vids. Now that cobra would of lost worst off the hole because its really light and has no traction so it would of been even worst. Just to let you know the shelby cobra is more exotic car not muscle car. If you r reffering to a mustang yes. The corvette is also not reffered as a muscle car either it falls under exotic car too.
Ah...NO! The Shelby AC Cobra 427 is both an exotic and a muscle car. I have a sports car being built now to the exact specs of an AC Cobra but with a different 427 that will do circles around a Veyron. Now if you want a race, I'll race you...I'm on the guest list of the Gumball 3000 for 2010.
Veyron's only run 10.2, race a C5 Lingenfelter Z06, they ran a 9.2 Stock at 800WHP, and the C6 is running faster than that, the C5 was the ONLY car that beat a blue Angel Jet fighter at the 1/4mile, ford tried it and FAILED, Cobra=Good Car, but Z06=Better, just sit back and read up on a Z06,Zr1, and Lingenfelter and you are going to look back and say "Wow, he was right, these cars are fucking fast". Now dont write anything back that is dumb because you will fail and i wont reply, ill just laugh
The Shelby Cobra 427 is good, and its fast, but the Z06 is faster, its an easy 11 second car, and if that Cobra is sticking a vette, most likley it is, just by looking at the pull on it, i garuntee it is, because rarely you find asshole rednecks getting a hold of those and putting parts in it to decrease the value, Kit or not, they never do that shit, and if it was a modded 5.0 it would stick the vette, maybe a 351 windsor, but like i said...doubtful, im not putting it down but z06 is faster.
usually the cobra has more hp

actually judging from the race a 01 vette wouldnt have a chance so it has to be the ls7 smartass its either the 6.0l or the 7.0l either 04-07

aerodynamics nothing. The Cobra redlined. It's all about gearing on rolling races.
Besides, the driver that signals the start always has the advantage.

z06 has 500hp and they both have 427's and the corvette tuning is much better then the shelby's

Assuming that this is a 427 cobra..as some of the other posts have said this could have some pumped up small block in it.
