I know a Cobra can beat a 'vette. I also know a 'vette can beat a Cobra.

What's your point?

I'm assuming an 03-04 Cobra. If I assume a Z06 Vette, then no. Also if there's corners involved I'd also say Vette. Since this is a pretty vague topic I'm gonna quit assuming altogether.

Hard to answer! Need mo data. Stock for stock an LS1 C5 and an 03+ Cobra, drivers race edge to the Cobra. Z06 and Cobra. Z06 everytime.

In a qt mile race a 03 Cobra will beat a stock 03 c5. I have seen many people try and try to break 12's on a 100% stock c5 m6. My buddy with my own eyes has a 100% all the way down to filter and shifter stock cobra ran a couple 12.80's back to back.

Slow Vette should be able to tell us what she looks like CryptKeeper. Well, maybe not if she was too far behind him in her Mustang.
