Video: My e55 vs whippled 03 cobra

Forgot to share this pretty cool video of me racing an 03 cobra with a whipple. Was part of a larger buy-in pot race I lost this first round but later made some money off some newer Shelby lol.

Disclaimer: This was on a closed road course in Mexico. Don't try this at home.


Enjoy.

Pretty much all bolt ons/ported heads my car runs 11.1 @ 121. Didn't make nearly that kind of pass on that race though rolled into the throttle and couldn't catch him. Had fun and like the video for the production quality lol

Amazing video, car looks and sounds good. Few questions just curious, Why did you roll into the throttle, because you had to fight for traction?

Have you dyno'd your car? 121mph is very low for all bolt ons and are you sure the ported heads are helping increase power and not hurting? Just wondering.

Great battle between two of the coolest factory cars to come out in 2003.

Your car looking sick as usual, LM7. Nicely done, Sir.

That hollow exhaust note from the Termi has to be one of my favorite sounding domestic V8s ever.

Ya just curious, you could have quite a bit of power left on the table.
