The differences between the Cobra and Z06 are not just power and weight savings. It is an entirely different beast. The Z06 handles better and transitions the power more efficiently. It's had the IRS for well over 30 years. Cobra's: Not as long. That in itself will bring upgrades and improvements. The power gains are awesome. You can go anyway you want to with this car and it can take it.
I'm also in talks with LG right now. I just received my G5X3 cam package, LG Pro headers, 160* Therm., and waiting on Tunnel brace and DTE Trans Brace. I also have an SLP order for my LS2 Timing chain and P/Bp Oil pump. Then it is off to install.
Get a Z__(51 or 06) either way you will be pleased. They are absolutely amazing vehicles.

I actually had a white 03 Cobra and traded it for the Z06 that I currently have and I have no regrets what so ever. My cobra had a 2.8 pulley and the rest of the bolt ons and a RWTD tune that was 440 rwhp and I can't really remember the torque but I think it was around 450 rwtq. It was pretty fast but I think when my Z06 was cammed, headers and a tune (MS3) 430rwhp for sure it would beat my pullied Cobra.
I have since gone back to the stock cam. If I would have done it again I would just buy the procharger kit for the Z and be done with it.
They are very different cars and I would rather be in my Z and day.
