Should be roughly high 12's for the cobra, and low 12's for the ZO6.

Reckon it should be pretty close.

A well driven 03/4 Cobra should be able to do a 12.6 @ 116mph. But I have seen claims of slightly better.

But the Z06 should have the edge.

I've seen a Z06 with DR's and a Vararam intake run 11.7...not sure what the MPH was. He's a NOS moderator on here. But in your stock trim scenario, Z06 easily. Like Redneck Z said, low 12's for the Z, high 12's for the Cobra. Oh yeah, I want both those cars!

You can argue this topic back and forth but why? What a waste of breath. I guess if you just like to argue. Everybody knows what stock ZO6's generally run and what stock Cobra's usually run. A Cobra running a 12.6 is as likely as a ZO6 running an 11.7. Both have been done, but are not the norm. Your average stock ZO6 is going to run faster that your average stock Cobra PERIOD.........

ps. I can't wait for someone to chime in with the but, but what if the driver of the Cobra was better and the ZO6 couldn't get traction, and but, but, but....come on.

My friend ran a 12.4 with a 03 Cobra motor in a 99 cobra body, only mod was x pipe, no headers. Wait he had Nittos too. On average though Id bet on the Z06.

Saw a stock 03 cobra with a very good driver run a 12.5 at atco raceway a few years ago on street tires.
