What would it take for a '03/'04 Cobra to take down a stock ZR1?

[quikag]

LOL Aren't they all.

It's a ZR1 and it's bone stock. I bought it primarily for track days (Motorsport Ranch, TWS, etc.). There are much faster straight-line cars, certainly with mods, but I'm happy with the overall stock performance envelope of the car with the brakes, suspension, wheels/tires, LS9, etc.

I was going to run ZR1LOL for shits and giggles, but I'm thinking he has the power to take me down. I guess we'll see in the next several weeks if we can meet up.

A ZR1 is a badass car for sure! I'd like to race one just for the hell of it.

You were looking for a track car in the $100K range and you bought a Corvette?
What was the criterion you used? Not being critical, genuinely curious.

I like Corvettes and this is my 3rd one. I got my first one at 23 and I'm 34 now, so I'm a big fan. The only other better new track cars are the ACR Viper and the GT3 RS Porsche in a similar price range. I liked the Vette overall and got a good deal on it as it was a new leftover '10 model. It is a good car to cruise around town; rides good, quiet at part throttle, etc. But, switch to sport mode and nail the gas and it's pretty exciting. It's better dual natured than the RS and ACR.

When I meant I bought the car primarily for track days, that means 4-5 track weekends a year and weekend cruiser the rest of the year. I'm not much of a drag racer, so that is what I meant by doing track days. If I wanted a drag race only car, there are much better options at lower price points.

I'll run whoever time and safe conditions permitting for fun. The car is quick, but I am well aware there are a large number of faster cars in the metroplex. I enjoy driving it, so that's all I care about at the end of the day.

There is a much larger number of slower "performance" cars. Enjoying it is really all that matters.

I don't care what anyone says but a ZR1 is a badass car. I'd be happy with a LS3 c6 too.

Why are you sandbagging with your horsepower numbers? I know you make 490!!!! hahaha secret is out!

John do you think having ball bearing turbo's would really make much more power then what you are currently making? I kinda doubt it.


I only make 500rwhp so what ZR1 wants to race? I down, I'll be at dale tomorrow.
