i think its dumb to compare N/A with FI. i had a cobra for a while yea it was cheap to mod but wouldnt hook with irs. so bolt a supercharger to an f body you still payed less then a cobra and youll hook. to me its better to compare a cobra from 01-02 when they still made f bodies. its be intersting to see what gm would have done with an f body if they were still around FI? any thoughts

Where they were racing the altitude is about 6800 ft elevation (yes altitude does affect boosted vehicles too). I hope you make it out of the classroom and into the real world.
not takeing sides or saying this is better than that I love my LS1 and my dads LS6 and I like only like the 03'/04' cobra but a buddy of mines dad has a duramax truck with upgraded everything in it and what not and walked all over a 03' cobra.... with pulley, chip, tune and some other ****.... this car was no stock cobra it was a bad bitch......

And lets see yeah Americans are real dumb they only managed to land a person on the moon, invent the first reusable space vehicle. Build the fastest jet and rocket propelled aircraft and a whole list of other great feats which I really can’t be bothered to post (far too many)
Yeah guess you are right

And besides most cars these days are international not 100% from one country. Vauxhall is owned by GM as is Opel and Holden. They all sell the same cars but under different badges. Saabs are also using the same basic setup (platform/powerplants).

As for weight transfer yeah it’s a big issue and the Fbody is nose heavy even with the aluminium Ls1.

Again with this old topic 
The bottom line:
an 03 Cobra starts out faster stock, and is more expensive
an LS1 (F-body) is slower stock, but less expensive
In the end a 10 second LS1 is probably going to cost you less than an 03 Cobra running the same time, because of the initial car cost.
