LS1 hands down. Its cheaper to go fast with the LS1 especially if you can do the work yourself.
Here is an example.
A friend of mine has a 2000 Z28. He did all forged internals and kept the stock cubes. Installed a custom ground nitrous cam and ported heads and a 220 shot. Then did an ATI turbo 400 and 4000 stall nitrous converter. Did a 9" rear and did the tuneing himself with LS1 edit.
Car ran mid 11's all day on motor (got to remember the tune and engine and converter was designed for nitrous). When he hit it with the 220 shot it went 9.90's and started getting kicked out of all the local tracks because the car had no cage and no harness. Bone stock interior except for the rear seat delete. He didnt care because his intended purpose was to win money if you know what i mean. And by god did he ever take alot of money from alot of people.

IMO....
your going to pay 19 grand plus for a decent (read decent) 03 cobra. Plus bolt ons lets say 1 to 3 grand for that.
Find a nice ls1 for 14 grand use the 7ish gs you saved and use your imagination.

www.hellionpowersystems.com too many people think the cobra has to be limited to a supercharger. I know a few twin turbo cobras, one of which has 750hp and is daily driven. Doesn't take much to make those things fast, plus she already has the car...
