03 and 04 Cobra's are fast I raced one the other day on the highway and he put 2 to 3 cars on me. I Could never catch up. Gotta love that blower. On the other hand I have raced 99-01 cobras and have put 2-3 lengths on them. Not all Cobras beat LS1's.

KBPumped03,
Not trying to be an ***, but your sig is what confuses me the most about the supercharged Cobras. You have 500+ rwhp and all you can run is 11.3s? I only have 411 rwhp and I can run that! How heavy are those cars? They always dyno a ton of HP , but don't have the track times you would expect from it? If I had 500+ rwhp I would easily be in the 10s. Can someone explain to me this phenomenon with the Cobras?

We raced again, but this time the results were reversed. As stated already, a kill is a kill, and it takes awhile to learn how to get optimum performance from your car. If he's a friend, line them up again at 50mph and have him start in 2nd, or run from 80 and have him start in 3rd. I'll bet you'll see a difference. Good kill regardless!EDIT: Crap, I skimmed a few of the first pages, then skipped ahead to the reply without reading the last few. My bad, looks like the issue has already been settled. My bad.

Yea, arent stock 03/04 cobras over 3700lbs? Thats a big difference compared to a Z06 weighing about 600lbs less.

And honestly stock V.S stock the cobra pulls the camaro in a very short distance (1 to 3 cars) and decreases in long distances . plzz understand and compare :the diff ratio, forceinduction , that means everything must go good for the cobra? but looks like not ,HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Huh? My brain hurts now. I ran several LS1's before I modded mine and won every time. I'm sure I would've gotten my butt handed to me by a Z-06 but couldn't find any to play until after I modded. The one Z I've run against got spanked badly. However, I know of a WS6 that would flat kick my *** if we ever went so brands don't matter, only cars and drivers do.

In a zo6 its easier, granted, but realistically, you wouldnt have to open the motor to achieve does numbers in the cobra while you may need a new cam and heads package. Gotta love FI!!!!!

Kinda like the Teflon coated pistons in the Cobra's, they suck! If ya run a 75 shot in a Cobra with Ported SC and 2.8 pulley ya get around 680 to the wheels. GL doing anything with it though. The Cobra's have an issue with the pistons where heat is concerned. Some of the guys have fried pistons when running for long periods up over 150.
