Which Cobras are supposed to be fast?
I raced an older (90's) one today, just to see how it ran an totally put a beat down on it, without the juice. I know there's a general concensus on here that there are some fast ones, but just don't race enough to know the difference.
Just curious.

They were all 13 sec factory cars till the 03/04 snakes (exception 2000R). I had a 94, 01 and 03 cobra with the 99 formula in-between the 94/01 years, and now a low mile 01 Z/28. Personally, I am never satisfied with one car for too long, so thus the change back to GM. A bolt-on 99-01 snake can surprise you, but you really only need to worry about the 03-04 cobras, and the GT500, albeit the Gt500s are practically lane barges....However, my friend Gary has a GT500 with a pulley change, CAI, and mail order tune, it was fairly impressive with just those mods...

I was riding with a guy one time in his 01? Cobra (catback, CAI) when we raced a similiar year GT (catback) and it was about dead even. The guy in the GT was happy when he saw that we were in a Cobra and he kept up. And my buddy thought his Cobra would be my Z. Nice car, but not the speed demon he told me it was.
