We left from a stand still and by 100 I was ahead by 6 or 7 lengths and pulling on him harder and harder.. On a open track HPDE it would have been even uglier.
Interesting question:
How does a 3100 pound, 508rwhp Vette do with a 2650 pound, 465rwhp Cobra?
(I'm assuming the crate 460 made less power than 465 at the rear.)
At least over a quarter mile.
Does the weight difference equalize the power difference?
Last Vette I ran had no chance but I don't know if stock or modified as yours.
