i seriously doubt it will get the lovely 425hp rating though

Re: GM's answer to the cobra jet!
 

"As we have already confirmed, this is quite a powerplant, delivering 556 horsepower at 6100 rpm and 551 pound-feet of torque at 3800 rpm."

I'm thinking somewhere around 360hp rating!

Re: GM's answer to the cobra jet!
 

but will chevy submit it for stock/super stock ??

Re: GM's answer to the cobra jet!
 

Probably more like 430.Wait till you see the blipping when they have to go heads up.

Re: GM's answer to the cobra jet!
 

Still too heavy....maybe they'll put this new Z28 model on a diet?? Don't forget, Challengers and CJ's are 3150-3200 raceweight, no? WJ

Re: GM's answer to the cobra jet!
 

Read the fine print -- this engine will have a QuadraJet equipped version rated at 295 HP .........................

Good luck Government Motors. 2011 is two years away. In the mean time, the Cobra Jets will be kicking butt. Ford should have their 6.2 litre Hurricane motor ready by then. I don't believe Mr. Wolfe and his team will be waiting for an a** kicking. By the way did anyone see the thank you ad for Brent Hajek and the apology for the glitch in giving NHRA the correct engine specs. Ford Racing and Brian Wolfe are sure showing who has the class! If you know anyone who has a 2008 Cobra Jet, take a look at the binder that Ford Racing has put together for each car. This just shows the thought and planning that Ford Racing has put into the program. The binder contains the history of the Cobra Jet, all of the specs and part numbers, a list of the owners, pictures and all of the build sheets from Roush and Romeo Engine. I have never seen another manufacturer do anything like this. Each owner also received a custom cap, shirt and jacket. Thank you Ford Motor Company for not taking government money and for putting Brian Wolfe in charge of Ford Racing.

No stocker here--just a 2 ton Z28 to contest the shelby GT500 with the roots style S/C on top of the 430 hp corvette motor--Body in white needs a new GM designed motor with 700 ponies with specs to nhra @ 400 ponies :eek:

Re: GM's answer to the cobra jet!
 

GM would have to submit a specialty car like Ford and Mopar did to get the weight down.

Here horsey horsey :D

Re: GM's answer to the cobra jet!
 

It's easy for GM to fix the weight issue. Just submit a light spec for it. If Chrysler can get the 4200 lb Mercedes chassis down and the 3900lb Mustang then the Camaro can as well. I will give Ford credit that they are pushing their program much better than GM. It's sad because a Camaro with an LSA will be very fast especially if it carries a 425hp rating.

Great, more grossly underfactored combos....

Re: GM's answer to the cobra jet!
 

Looks like Ford,Dodge,now Chevy are allowed CRATE MOTOR CARS IN NHRA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!you all know its the truth!!!!!!! and i think its awsome that gm is getting involved.TOO bad NHRA won't less us poor,poor ihra CRATES play in their raindear games!!!!!! just my 2cents have a nice day

Re: GM's answer to the cobra jet!
 

I respect the fact that the CJ is a awesome race car...but they sure aren't making it easy to own one....
It must've been nice to get a hat, shirt and jacket after just dishing out a tad under $70k for one of these cars .....please pass the barf bag. WJ:rolleyes:

Re: GM's answer to the cobra jet!
 

I can't help you with the pricing but Ford sells all of the pieces to build your own Cobra Jet at a very reasonable price. The engine is a bargain for the horsepower that you get. I do have a Ford parts bag that you can puke in though. I think I'll go in the kitchen and get some cheese to go with your whine.

glad to see gm join the fun..why not let the zo6 in a/s with the fords or the supercharged zr1 vette...
