Good job OP. Let's be realistic guys every car is different some run good some run like crap. When i had my 94z with just a cai and muffler stock pipe all the way back. I beat some 01 cobras with exhaust and intake and had some that just had axle back exhaust beat me. Sometimes its a drivers race sometimes it just depends if the car is a runner or a slug. had the same thing happen gt's,z28,and trans am's.

I have never lost to a stock f-body... not even one that had catback, lid and ls6 cam. He was slowly slowly coming back around 110 but he never caught me.
People act like the pre 03 cobra's were slow and written off but thats hardly the case. I would put my car up against any light bolt on f-body

Just that the edge would go to the ls1 in most cases, stock for stock. Like already stated , once the modding begins it's all ls1. Of course an ls1 CAN lose to an '01 cobra, just not the majority of the time imo.

Raced a '01 Cobra and a '99 Cobra with my brothers catback only 3.23 geared '01 Firebird M6: walked out car lengths with no problem on them. At the track, my brother did the same- 13.2's to there 13.5-13.9's. There was a Cobra club there and must have been 6 of them there (back in '02).
I don't think people are implying pre 03 cobras were slow Just that the edge would go to the ls1 in most cases, stock for stock. Like already stated , once the modding begins it's all ls1. Of course an ls1 CAN lose to an '01 cobra, just not the majority of the time imo.

Like I said earlier some just dont know how to get the full potential out of the car sometimes, you win some and you lose some, thats racing

Wow! Nice pic up above, sure makes that snake look better (it needs a few more curves to compete with her though me thinks 
) I actually really like that GT500 though, if anyone even noticed it

That makes it .6-.8 seconds quicker then the Cobra's that were in attendance--- and 5-8mph faster.
