Yep.. Especially up top. Hell really down low too, they make no torque and rely on steep gears.
A stock gear cobra is a turd.. Doesn't have the get up and go down low and can't pull back up top.
I would say it would take gears, exhaust, cai for it to be a good
run.

Back when I had my 98 Z28 I raced my brother's friend who had a 2001 Cobra with 4.10's, cat back, x-pipe, and CAI. Mine was all stock except for a Flowmaster cat back and a K&N filter. Both cars were manual as well. From around a 40 mph we were pretty even until the middle of 3rd where I started to pull. I was a good 2 cars ahead at around 120 mph.

I guess I gotta consider the kinda person he is, never knew anyone that could be such a die hard ford fanatic, always coming off about how shitty GM is but yet drive a z71 to work every day lol you know anyone like that?

My bestfriend has a '99 Cobra 5-speed and I have a '98 Z28 A4. We have raced 40 times (when I was bone stock) from digs and all kinds of rolls and he has never really came even remotely close to beating me. Race the guy and don't worry a bit.

LMAO! just slap 500 bucks down and tell him what lil bitch he his and that he doesnt have the ***** it takes to race like a real man.... just runs his mouth like a bitching woman... when he still turns you down, from that point on when his mouth opens, quickly say "quiet bitch, I own an LS1, youre not allowed to speak."
