My V6 vs a 5.0 Cobra

[LIZARDKING]

Im guessing it was a 5.0, it didnt have 4.6 fender badges. We were together at a light, when it turned green we both got on it.

He spun his tires and I got about a 1/2 car length on him at the start. He was closing on me slowly, at about 50mph he got even and started pulling ahead slightly. At 80 when I backed off he was about 3/4 of a car length ahead.

Im sure if he was better off the line I would not have had a chance, but its nice to be able to stay in the neighborhood with the big boys with my lowly V6.

This was the first time I drove hard, cant wait to install my 3.73s and T-Lok.

You see? No one believes me. The first time I ran my '88 5.0 down a track I ran a "low" 17sec. quarter mile. I had no idea how to drive the car! That's what's so funny when guys start off with the "Motor Trend ran a 13.9 with my car bull****". The driver may not be able to lower a cars ET but he sure can F it up. I've got a friend with a 2003 ZO6 Corvette that I've eaten with my '05 GT a dozen times. That extra 100HP does him more harm than good. Skip the 3.73s, go with 4.10s, learn how to launch the car and then go hunt down some GT's. Then, at the next light, tell 'em yours is a stock 6 and watch 'em head for the dealership to have the car looked at! LOL
