GM did give up first, but dont hide from the fact that the Termis were around in 02'to stomp on the F-Body before it died.
thats weird, i see Termis and C6 Z06's and 2010+ Camaros damned near everyday but i never see 5.0s. They must not be popular in the bay area. And they had to go another direction with the camaro. They couldnt use the same failed formula so they went IRS and more GT styled car. Its a good car.

This year alone I've only seen about 3-4 termi's. And I've seen about 5 5.0's. Yeah they are pretty popular around this area. I've always been wanting to run a 03-04 cobra to see how I would do against it.

from my experience my regular ole 96 Z28 kept up and was actually faster than the 96 SS on the top end. My friends 1998 cobra would walk away slowly at about 60

ive seen the times mags got with them and ive always wondered how. I just never saw the same numbers at the track! maybe they were the super special LT4 models. Everything ive read and experience says the Z28 and SS of those years were only marginally different......but believe me ive seen those mad times as well!!

look at the other data they have on the bottom and look at what they did at the track. 13.85@101.5 for the camaro 14.1@99 for the cobra and 14.3@97.7 for the WS6. Sounds like theyre all close to me especially since the WS6 and Camaro are mechanically the same yet ran almost 4mph slower. if you average the 2 you get a run very similar to the Cobras, which aint too shabby considering how undergeared (and underpowered @low rpm) it was. Maybe thats why they pulled on the top end in the races ive experienced???

A well driven average ls1 would run a 13.4-13.6, the comparalbe 2 valve GT of those years would not, and would not even average that with the 3valve incidentally.
I was running these cars back in the day as a man in his twenties, not as a child 16 years old.
I know what I remember and I don't remember any two valves ever being competion for fbodys stock for stock, ever! Dead thread!
And your opinions are wrong.

Had to quote this again 
I know five people with 2v 2001 and 2002 gt's and the fastest one with full exhaust no cats 3.73 gears dr's preditor tune plenum k&n filter and I think throttle body still has hit only at best 13.6 with a 1.8 60'. The altitude is low at Cecil to and thats not beating a ls1

If that guys has those mods, and is only hitting 13.6s, he needs a driver mod.

the 2valve dudes compare their cars to the LT1 because they were dead even with them. I never owned a 2 valve GT but i owned an LT1 and i compared the car to the 2valve because they were generally the same speed and were good competition for eachother. I didnt compare the LS1 vs the LT1 so much because the LS1 was too fast and out of the league of the LT1, much like LS1 owners dont really like to talk about the 03 Cobras.
BTW you're wrong.

I dunno you tell me? They're virtually the same car so they should be just as capable. Being a former LT1 SS owner (Sebring Silver '97 M6) I can attest only to how they performed. Mine wen't 13.7-13.8 @ 103-105 all day at MIR with a best of 13.71. My dad's '96 stripper car went 13.6 @ a hair under 106 mph. This was in 1997-98. I can't remember a 4v Cobra getting anywhere near that at the time but I could be wrong (although I seriously doubt I am, lol).

Are you attempting to hide from the truth?
