LS1 vs 5.0 Cobra a buddy of mine has been pestering me for quite some time now to race him and i was just wondering who would win between me in my 2000 Camaro Ls1 stock with 2200 stall and 3:73 in the rear vs. a bone stock 1993 Mustang Cobra 5.0. we will be running on a eighth mile track. both our cars are naturally aspirated. i need some honest opinions here cuz he wants to do 100 dollars a pass. he just wont leave me alone and i am tired of hearing it so i am ready to step up to the plate and knock him the f out of the park!

it looks all stock and yeah it is a 5 speed. it doesnt even look like the oil has been changed for five years. the car is a real p o s but he talks so much crap bout my car being slower than his.

i raced my friend with a 93 gt with full exhaust, intake, and a slightly bigger than stock cam and destroyed him from a 20 roll (im stock). id imagine itd be about the same in the 1/8th, especially since youll launch harder.

You will take him as long as its REALLY stock. Something makes me think its not because i doubt he would be willing to throw down 100 dollars when his car runs 15 second quarter miles. Unless he just completely RETARDED

A friend of my brothers has a 95 GT 5.0 5 speed and it was atleast two seconds slower than my car. They aren't all that fast. I'd do the quarter mile just to be sure since I don't think those things even make enough power to spin off the line

make sure you inspect each others cars before you lay any cash down that way you can at least find out if he's had anything done.
But assuming it is stock, IIRC those cars were 240 HP stock which means he really isn't worth your time, athough in the 1/8th he'll have a better chance then if you guys ran a full quarter mile.

ALL 03/04s are stick from the factory as well. but several people do automatic conversions on them. as far as the 5.0 I would be looking for a bottle if i were you for someone to be wanting to race for money like that. If there is no Cam sounds or bottle, no matter what you pretty much got him.

to the OP, even slightly modded you will win, hands down, just dont boil the tires off the line.
