Lankhoss' C6 Z06 Vs. 2.6L KB 03 Cobra and more ...

[yfzfofitty06]

6k in each car the c5 z would still b an all around better car.

[yfzfofitty06]

Well u can't compare a c6 z06 price to a 03 cobras price and say dollar for dollar the cobra can b better bcuz c5 z06 still have aerodynamics and handling and weight advantage over cobra and both can b had used for around 18-20k

[digiam42]

All this talk about the cobra engine but lets not forget that to get 501 whp in that vette that he has to spend every bit of 6-7K to get it there. And contrary to belief its a pretty radical combo. Big cam, rough idle, and unstock driveability. These cobras, when out of boost, drive exactly the way they did the day they left the ford factory. This was a drivers race in this vid, Evenly matched cars and it cam down to driving skill.

[yfzfofitty06]

@digiam42 go check out motor trends first test of the 03 price as tested was around 36 or so. Like I said though motor work to a cobra wnt help its aerodynamics, or its handling . Z06 ls7 has one of the best power curves of any engine,also has top speeds around 180 and. Has almost perfect balance all of which making it an all around more capable car.

[digiam42]

@yfzfofitty06 The 03 cobra doesnt need motor work. It will handle anything the average joe can throw at it. I will agree on the aerodynamics. Once a cobra hits 120 its fighting the drag bad. Where as the vette is still cutting through the air. The Z06 is a very capable car and I like them but dollar for dollar the cobra can be way faster. It really comes down to preference and you know how us ford and chevy guys are. die hard till the end

[luvscience44]

ls motors will make over 1000 easy and fords are still nice

[digiam42]

@luvscience44 LS motors do make over 1000 hp easy. But they dont easily make 1000. what im getting at is that it will take LOADS of cash and engine building to build as LS engine that can withstand 1000. Ford did the work for us in the 03 cobra and it will hold that power from the factory. The only chevy engine that can do that would be the ZR1 engine and id hate to even guess how much that thing costs.

[luvscience44]

@digiam42 It wont take loads of cash im just saying its not cheep. nor a crate ls motor around $14,000

the ls9 shouldnt be alot more than that. Also for boosting an ls motor its aluminum block so yes you will need supporting mods, it should get near 1000 n/a. I know my fords on the 03 cobra was switched to iron block,with hardend rods, diff valves, forged crank, forged pistons and so on. I own a 94 gt. i like nothing more than ford and chevy

[turbosaleen347]

Just to clear up some things .. My 2.6 kb cost me 4k installed and tuned with the extra parts I needed.. You can make a 2003 2004 cobra over 1000 rwhp for less than 18K put that with a used low mileage cobra for around 25K you have a killer car.. For less than a zo6 .. Just my 2 cents.. I paid 17k for my cobra and have put an extra 6k into it and it makes 634 rwhp 598rwtq

[92rednotch]

I hav a lot of respect for those cobras, and I'm a diehard c6 zo6 fan. For the money u can't find a more capable car.

[larryadam2]

Man if the Z had a motor that could handle 19psi like the cobra could i would hate to see the outcome of the race dont thank it would be pretty.

[faisal3981]

@larryadam2

it would be nice if the cobra has 7.0L too

[wesleymattison00]

sweet mystic cobra. Rare color. Don't think i need to mention BADASS:)

[afgandominator]

the 03-04 cobra was such a badass car!! what other 30,000$ car can u get and add a few boltons and run a c6 z06

[yfzfofitty06]

lol you can buy any car and run it against a c6 z06 how well you do against it is the question. and a cobra with bolt ons wouldnt stand a snow balls chance in hell. it would take a kenne bell to do the job :) and yes the z06 is a 70k car and the cobra when it was new around 38+ and around 7 for the KB so around 45k. but in this video only shows a fraction of what the z06 is capable of yet it shows just about all of what the cobra is capable of . the z06 is twice the car for not twice the money

[afgandominator]

@yfzfofitty06 yea good point there bruh, but i do disagree with one thing,...the kenne bell or whipple is not all u can do to a 03-04 cobra, they make bad ass turbo kits for the thing to, the engine on the cobra (so i have heard) can handle up to 1000hp untill u have to start building internally, but i do agree with u an the z06 is the nastiest car on the road today!!! Im a die hard ford guy but i would trade my Roush440A in a second for a z06

[digiam42]

@yfzfofitty06 I dont know where you saw an 03 cobra for 38+. I bought my 03 cobra in the fall of 04. It had 12 miles on it and was 26,500. I put a 2.2 KB on it and made 604 rwhp on pump gas. I had about 6K more in the car with the blower upgrade, exhaust, tune, and a clutch to hold it, but for roughly 33K I was beating nearly everything i raced.. Including vette's. These cars with twin turbos are putting out 7-800 rwhp on pump gas. all for way under 70K.

[yfzfofitty06]

All that boost and that kenne belle only to be put to shame by a nearly stock z06 gotta love it lol

[afgandominator]

@yfzfofitty06 nearly stock z06 runs about 70grand also bruh, cobra around 35+kenne bell 7,000$ so about 42,000 vs 70,000...gotta love it

[yfzfofitty06]

@afgandominator the prices of the car are irrelevant to the race you could pull a 100k+ car next to the z06 and it could easily do the same thing to it. numerous ferraris,lambo's, porsche,etc. fall victim to the z06 which is alot cheaper than they are.

[afgandominator]

@yfzfofitty06 good point again yes z06 is straight bad ass!! loland yes ive seen videos of stock z06 against $100,000+ and spank there ass, but im just saying for the money it costs brand new and the price to put it over 700hp the 03-04 cobras were bad ass

[digiam42]

@yfzfofitty06 I agree. Price is irrelevant> its all about who's first to the finish line. But taking an expensive car and beating one with half the money in it isnt impressive.

[topendracing]

that corvette is not stock dude ....

lol

[tucubanito305]

put the gt diffential on the cobra by doing that you are shaving like 300 pounds of the cobra and it wont do wheel hop...thrust me the cobra just that will beat the vette!!!

[jclarkesbcglobal]

irs suck lmao

[tufmandan]

he broke what? (im a car guy i just don't deal with superchargers that much) Is he talking about he broke a gear off where the pully connects to the innards?

[CmMustang03]

input shaft for the transmisson

[tufmandan]

O gosh....got ya....bad day

[tufmandan]

He backfired? wow

[judgementdey]

Love all these cars except the porsche !

[Lankhoss]

One thing people are leaving out is the amount of shifts. In both races I have to do 2nd - 3rd PLUS 3rd to 4th. As you know, 2nd to 3rd is the slowest shift you make. Both races, the Cobra only has to go 3rd to 4th. You put a good clutch in the car and give us both 2 shifts, and I don't think the outcome would be any different.

[culo561]

but sick vette nontheless

[culo561]

and +1 on the stock clutch comment, if that cobra had an upgraded clutch and better shifting, 600+ hp the outcome would be different

[SkAtEOrDie67]

agreed, if you watch the video at about 1:21 is exactly we're talking about.

[culo561]

how much boost/power was that kenne bell cobra putting down?

[bighunt08]

Looks to me like the vette didnt do any "owning" in that vid...looked like all the races were pretty mached.

[cleancutyellow]

Chevy overcomes all again....And without twin turbos or a supercharger!..Long live the LS Motors!

[Liamhatesyou]

Put a 2.8H Mammoth on that bitch.

[MutinyEatsChips]

1 of the best race vids Ive seen

cobras r the baddest cars out there.

[juanduck]

pooorr driving dudes im 16 and i can shift better than that

[THESNAKE8]

yea but hes on the stock clutch and it prolly wasnt disengaging .... mine did the same

[ExtinctSS]

Kid, if you think WOT shifting your moms escort is good shifting you have a lot to learn. Stock clutch = bad news when it comes to shifting.

[corylane21]

just shows how useless the KB is... i know the Z weighs less but thats a 100 hp difference

= fail

[Lankhoss]

Uhhhh....what's the weight of the COBRA have to do with a KB?

[praetorian2150]

c6 z06's+ twin screw= tip of the american muscle spear.

[Ibanez91]

that's right Z06 owns all

[PurplehippoGK]

modular powerhouse... Where 600whp thru "the stock freakin intake" only nets you high 11's

..........weaksauce

[EDDIEMALO]

Very Nice!!!!!!!!

[Austin19a]

idiot 2.6 is the size of the kenne bell

[gmoore74leo]

4.6 not 2.6

[03CobraRick]

Yeah I'm aware, I also have an '03 Cobra. The 2.6L is the displacement of the blower - it's a Kenne Bell 2.6L, there's a 2.2, 2.4, 2.6, and a 2.8 - with H variants (higher efficiency) in the 2.6 and 2.8 models.

[pwned2002]

good races all the way around. I love that color cobra too!!! don't see too many of those around.

[ZUL8RR]

+1 i love the v8 growl and the s/c whine, nice cars =]

[mineralgreygt420]

great song man- nicely done video

[wutang61]

the mach must be de-tuned a fuck load ve seen automatic machs @ 9psi run 430 horses

[auburn587]

great vid yea that porsche was def not stock

[poolmaster298]

nice video...love the C6 Z06

[Bullittman1]

Nice Vid, gotta love the KBs...

[Euphorica]

lollers the porsches is auto

[03CobraRick]

I think the Mach was at 14 PSI, but very little timing - he's de-tuned at the moment, going for a final tune soon.

[mach1man22]

OMG Kenne Bell is supreme... This is one of the best racing videos I've seen on here. How much PSI was the Mach running by the way?
