Default Cam/bolt on LS1 beating a stock 03 cobra, is it that hard to believe?

I raced one a few weeks ago (just a couple roll ons) and beat him. The people my local board are seriously doubting it. Does it really sound that asinine? I definitely dont think so.

Mods are LTs, hooker catback, LS6 intake, lid, Torquer2 cam.

A bolt on + cam LS1 will be in the 370-390RWHP range, 400 with the right cam. A 03 Cobra will be in in the 360-380RWHP range in stock form.

It's basically a driver's race. Same driver's will be the car with the traction edge or the one with the power edge.

Once modded an 03-04 cobra requires the LS1 to be full heads/cam + traction mods. Even then it'll require more CI or FI to exceed it.

stock 03-04 cobras run about a 12.9.......you should be able to beat them with just bolt ons...hell I raced one with a lid and exhaust and beat one, when I pulled up at the next light I found out it was a girl driving...

very doable, especially from a dig. i raced a buddy with a termi, his only mod was a cold air. He wasnt pleased with the 2 cars every gear i put on him. lol. btw my mods are fully bolt ons and a f15 cam.

A cammed LS1 should walk all over a stock 03 Cobra.
A well setup cammed LS1 can beat a pullied Cobra.
Not hard to believe at all.

Right on guys. And my car is an M6 for the guy who asked.


Now lets do some bench racing. Stock c5 z06 vs stock Termy? Outcome? Based on numbers i would guess drivers race....?

well ive killed plenty of 03 cobras in my 02 z06. bone stock I went 12.27 at the track. you have to remember those cobras are 4000+lbs. I ran a buddy of mine who just rolled off the dyno with his 493whp cobra and I walked him 4 times in a row until he gave up. I think I was only at 380whp then with lt headers orx and a airfilter/lid.

Before I had my 4.10s I ran a stock 03 Cobra and was nosing him everytime. After the 4.10s it became more of a walk. Those cobras are heavy cars.
