It ran up to about 160 so fast it would make your head spin! I know our cobra's are fast but that car is fast with really good manners!
My mildly modded C6 ZO6 is lighter than a ZR1, so it has about the same hp/wt ratio. My Cobra (370 rwhp, 2350 lbs) launches faster than the Z, but the Z buries it from higher speeds! The Z from 80-160 is amazing. After that 5th and 6th gear are too high.

That'll all change completely when I get my engine back from the Clayton's next week!!!! Then I'll need some better tires and diapers......
