If you're stock there's no way you beat a Z06. The best times I've seen a "Terminator" Cobra stock was in the 12.8 & 12.9 range. The Z06 runs 12.5's consistently......now these times were with professional drivers which I dont think you are. I'd have to agree with the guys earlier......the Z06 guy just didn't know how to drive it......
And as far as not losing a race......remember....there is always a faster car out there.....if you were down here in Florida you'd get eaten alive.......like I said earlier....I'd enjoy bringing you back to reality.Last edited by cailey37; 10-21-2006 at 09:00 PM.

Torch Red- 1999 Corvette Hardtop
Its not stock, Im running 457 rwhp and 470 rwtq
I have yet to run it at the track, I wanted to learn to drive it first.
But the previous owner said he got 11.7 with with nitto drag radials, he seemed pretty honest to me, He kept his 10.5 inch rear wheels with the DRs, so I have the stock 9 inch 275/40 17's, It doesnt hook up at all. But I'm sure I could get low 12's with street tires.

Probably not.
Wonder how far Springfield is from Denver.
Not that I would drive there just to run a Cobra though.

Black- Camaro 1969
hEY ! wHATS ALL THE NOISE! THE GMS WITH THE LS1'S, LS2'S, C5'S, C6'S ARE ALL GREAT PLATFORMS. TRUE THE REPTILE WITH IT'S SMALLISH 281 NEEDS THAT LITTLE SC IN ORDER TO MAKE IT FLY AND THAT IT DOES. HERE IS A FACT! YOU CAN ONLY REALLY KNOW BY GOING TO THE TRACK! ANYTHING ELSE IS JUST ONE UPPING THE NEXT GUY. BY THE WAY I GOT A 2003 COBRA, A 2002 FORMULA, A 69 CAMARO, AND 2 FOX BOSY GT'S . THEY ARE ALL FUN WHEN YOU HIT THE HAPPY PEDAL. I HAVE BEAT SOME C5'S AND C6'S WITH THE COBRA. I HAVE ALSO BEEN BEATEN BY SOME C5, C6'S. IF YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW. TAKE IT TO THE TRACK....

A long f*kn way! You are crazy to drive that far for a grudge match! Especially when there is a dragstrip nearby and you can run all the Cobra's you want.
Preston used to have F-bods, just like I used to own a Cobra too. Hell, I liked that car. It is the only thing Ford makes I would park in my driveway.Heads 'n Cammed, Moser 12, 3.73's, Weight Reduction, 13" Brembo Kit

red- 98 Z28
ive looked at one of those cobras. i thought about buying one but u it comes right down to it ford just added a supercharger. they still handle like trash and brake like it too. it has nice low end. but they die up top like all the other stangs out there. ive witnessed those cobra get pulled on by lightly modded LS1's. once u hit 3rd gear its done.

The 01 Cobra I had would do 160. Quick like. Handled better than my Z, and stock brakes were better.
But you know, opinions are like assholes...everybody has one.
The funny thing is that the Z has never lost traction in twisties, or even come close. The Cobra did slide a little on me one day when I was racing a hopped up 98 Cobra, but I was doing 120 mph and the tires were a little slick.
I don't know what it is really. The Cobra suspension just inspired more confidence for some reason. Maybe the IRS had something to do with it.
