**sscamaro22** · 01-31-2008, 12:21 PM

Alright heres the deal, my friend has a 2001 Cobra w/ flowmaster catback, hpipe, and a tune. Its a M6. I have a 2001 ss camaro w/ slp lm catback, airlid, and other little shiat also a M6. What are my chances?

U should take him w/out much problem unless u miss a shift. Btw, 99 and 01 cobras only have a 5 speed transmission.

**JwMonE99** · 01-31-2008, 01:57 PM

Are you sure it is a 6 speed?

**dpinson** · 01-31-2008, 02:58 PM

Can't be unless its been swapped, 01 Cobras never came with 6 speeds.

**sscamaro22** · 01-31-2008, 04:33 PM

if he had gears he may make it close, but otherwise you should have it. his car is geared horribly, will go 120+ in third, it might as well be an automatic!

**sscamaro22** · 02-01-2008, 09:59 AM

yea most likely a dig

**MikeSomething** · 02-01-2008, 10:02 AM

I've got plenty of video of me taking my friends bolton 01 Cobra w/ my stockish A4 Camaro if you doubt yourself...

**sscamaro22** · 02-01-2008, 02:04 PM

everyone knows even ford the taller the gears the faster your car will be.

but you should take him just dont mess up shifting.

**JwMonE99** · 02-02-2008, 11:12 AM

No I meant why is it horrible that 3rd gear gets you at 120+
I think my car does that in either 4 or 5th gear.

for gas mileage since 5th is their highway gear and we have a 6th for highway they need a tall 5th and other gears leading up to it.

because of tq multiplication through the gears. if geared properly, a stockish cobra shouldnt even hit 115 in 4th. It hurts it even from a roll. the 3.27's in that car is equivalent of running something like 2.70's on a stockish LS1.

for the Cobra to even have COMPARABLE gearing (in ratio to the powerband) to a 3.42 rear LS1, it would need 4.10's.

**99 Kobra** · 02-02-2008, 04:09 PM

It's common knowledge that the '96-'99 and '01 Cobras need at least 4.10 gears to really wake up.

**JwMonE99** · 02-02-2008, 08:32 PM

Thats good to know becasue im planning on getting a 99-01 cobra and I was wanting to get 4.10 gears anyways.

a lot of the 05+ gt guys like 4.56 for the track the 3 or more valve motors like to be up high in the powerband due to the nature of a dohc motor.
And why do you want a cobra?
