Default Would H/C LS1 beat a 03-04 cobra or LS3 vette??

Just wondering what are the chances of a car like mine goin against an 03-04 cobra or even a lightly modified LS3 corvette? How do I stack up against them? I am talking from a 20-40 mph roll up to 120 mph

If there both stock you should have no problem. I think you could outrun a puilled cobra too...

I'm sure you could get the cobra stock, I think you could even run with a bolt on Cobra. The LS3 vette now, your cars have around the same HP right now (your H/C LS! vs. LS3 Vette being stock) but the vette is lighter and you said a lightly modded vette. Give the vette the nod for a car and I say you pull the cobra slightly.

I put a car on the Cobra I raced from a 55-120 roll. I have no idea what if any mods it had. The LS3 vette I raced started to pull me around 120.

There are thousands of Fords that have a chance against you. Stop being so cocky, you look like an idiot.

I have no idea how much power you make, but I would agree that a H/C m6 car should be able to beat the vette.

What are H/C/I LS1's trapping with your setup? mid-high teens? If that's the case then you should make a pretty interesting run with a pulley only Cobra or stock-ish LS3 vette.

You need to let some of the air out of your head before you end up in space. I'm sick and tired of hearing people talk about how LS motors are the ****. We all know LS's are good motors, but d@mn, there's other motors that will go toe to toe with any LS. And yes, I have a LS1.

you would have NO problem with a stock terminator, a full bolt on ls1 can beat a stock 03 cobra but good luck finding one lol...you should be a good run with pullied terminator

You would be pretty even with a pullied cobra, a bolton cobra you'll have by at least 2cars, thats about what I am and ive raced 2 03's and 1 04.



Quick Reply: Would H/C LS1 beat a 03-04 cobra or LS3 vette??
