a 13.08 @113.56 a 2.314 60' and a .538 reaction. Horrible traction with the F1's.

My exhaust sounds awsome to me, my buddy has loud mouth which is slightly louder, but the A-Thunder screams on top end! To me it just sounds a little more crisp than the LM whicjh can sound gurgly at times. No affense to any LM owners.
oh, and sorry no sound clips. im not to good with the computer stuff. I doubt i can even post a picture if I wanted to. To get a ggod idea about what it sounds like, uncap it and its the exact same only quieter. But the Flowmaster does not change the sound just quiets it.

Haven't raced one yet but I know better. I test drove one and I was like whooaa. I think I have 4.56s in my M6 and I would have to shift to much. I wanted 4.10s put in but I think 4.56s got put in. When I drove the Cobra the traction control was on most of the test drive and I was like what is wrong with this car. Then I turned it off and man that car rocks. I am about to get Kook's LTs with a ORY. Then I'll change the gears. Then I hope I'll be close to keeping up with one. Good kill by the way.

Yeah the 03 Cobras are pretty sick, Two of my friends have them one with just exhaust and the other with chip/pulley/exhaust. I have never raced them in my LS1....yet. But ive driven both and with 470 rwhp its not hard to light them up 70mph. Thats the worst thing about the 03's is their traction. With any moded 03 you will just spin or wheel hop.

am going to throw my 2 cents here... friend has an 03 Mach 1. pretty close to stock a Z can take it (but close)
as for the 04 Cobra.... i did not race one persay, but me and this guy were playing around so to speak and he showed me what it was about. I must say, that mods need to happen to the Z or SS to take the cobra from a dig or from a roll

Especially when they are brand new. They get quicker after some miles get put on them...as do LS1's.

unit213 You say that they get faster with miles?I hope so because my wife walked my cobra like it was tied to a tree. 
We went from a third gear roll so there was no driver input involved.She was laghing at me so I will have a KB or a Whipple within the next couple of weeks.
Then she is going to get a big surprise

I've never raced one yet, but did see them at the track. Two of them, one with BFG drags and one with stock tires. The guy with the bfgs was running between 12.6-13.3. Very inconsistant. The guy with the stock tires was running about 13.0s. I usually run between 13.0-12.8 but thats because I lounch like a ***** with 2.0 60s. For fear of limping home. Oh I only have simple bolt-ons. I would not be afraid to race a stock 03-04 'bra, but if that thing is rour'n or wining, I'm stay'n away. My buddy has a 03 vert, keeps say'n he wants to run. I say "BRING IT". He dynoed 375rwhp, but I think I can take the heavy vert without traction.

The cutout is soon to be on its way(perhaps the next week or two). But thanks for the advice. Anymore? By the way every one who has raced me or riden in my car thinks I too have a freak. Im looking for a dyno in Orange County so I can get real numbers.************* OH AND YES THEY HAVE 390 HP AT THE FLY, BUT LS1 GUYS ARE PUTTING AROUND 325 TO THE GROUND, WHAT FLYWHEEL POWER DO YOU THINK THAT IS Bklynstranger! IM NOT MEANING TO BE RUDE BUT THEY ALSO WEIGH 3800 LBS. THAT IS A FAT *** CAR!

Dude, it's not being rude. I didn't post that to start on on-line fight. I'm just surprised to hear that an LS1 could seriously take the 03' Cobra. Dude, I live in New York City; therefore, I don't often come across serious sport cars. I would love to see a serious clip of an F-Body going up against the 03' Cobra. Buy anyway, it's all good, it's about learning. I can't wait to move to Charlotte to seriously test drive an F-Body.

No I Just Didn't Want To Start A Fight Either, Its Just That Some People Unlike U And Me Take Things The Wrong Way. Its All Cool.......me And My Friend(he Has A Gn) Will Have Some Pics Or Videos Of Us Beating Up This Local Cobra In The Next Few Weeks. He Only Has Exhaust, And No $$$$ Because He Is Paying Like $500 A Month For The Car Itself. That Means No Other Money For Mods.

OK, my turn to put my $0.02 in. Just want to say my 2000 Z28 M6, w/224 cam and alot of bolt ons ran a best 12.1@110. If i beat an 03' cobra with my truck, i know my Z would beat the sh#t out of one. Oh, by the way, that was with stock 245/50R16s. My truck ran a best ON STREET TIRES of 12.89@115(with the spray)
