There is LOTS of fast Cobra's in FL.


Killabyte for example...........
LOL that guy can't drive for ****, with 525hp he still can't get out of the 12's.. That's why he always does roll races..

The Z06 is WAY lighter than a Cobra! And warranty... I have 5,000 miles on my car and mods are in my sig...LOL!

Who cares about professionalism, speed is everything.

As far as the C6 Z06 vs the 07 Cobra, we'll see when they both come out. No way you can argue it now, they're not even on the streets yet.

Is there still doubt that the new Z06 would outperform the new Cobra in stock trim in almost every category (except price)? I thought that was a foregone conclusion.

Good point, but I think it will be like the C5 Z06 vs 03/04 Cobra. Z06 will faster stock to stock but some mods and the cobra is faster. The C6 Z06 vs the 07 Cobra will probably be the same way just on a faster scale.

Interesting. But I doubt it will match the Z06's performance.

My buddy has the brembo set up on his 03 Snake...........and he just about crapped his pants when I slammed the brakes on in my Z @120 and HE almost went through my windshield .........Stock Z brakes are badass!
BTW:WhitecamSS
My Z stock ran hard against Modded snakes.... with the head and cam package (AFRs and Comp cam) if your snake isn't packing NOS, a ported blower or a KB.... You've got problems getting by this Z!

Don't do it..........you'll be ruined for life.
For all the non believers, if you drive a Z06.........You will buy a Z06.
Nothing comes close to it in performance for the money! NOTHING

So a 03 cobra with 20k in it wouldn't come close to it in performance?

What I'm saying is a Z06 can be had for about 30K (My 02 was purchased for 31800)
For 30K nothing comes close to its performance Stock for Stock
I'm not about to go into mod for mod BS..thats a pointless argument and a dead horse.
Go drive a stock snake and drive a stock Z06.........it will be oblivious.
You can blame UNIT for this monster..........he told me to buy the Z over the Snake. I drove both= Z owner

I completely understand what your saying a z is badass, but it's hard to pass up a 03 I mean they come with a built motor and are setup for boost. in the 1/4 the only reason the z is faster stock to stock is weight most 03 cobra's make = or more power than the LS6. (and the Z06 is geared more in the trans)

I think I would have picked the Z also. I may be wrong but I't seems the Z would be a better platform to start with than the Snake, Yes the snake has a S/C built motor desiged for boost but the Z is much lighter. You can always put a stroked or S/C built motor in that Z. I gotta give props though, that 03 cobra can be easly made real fast though.

No doubt the Snake could be a awesome drag car( 9in rear and a C4 with a brake ), it just seems to new ($$) to butcher....maybe when they get around to the mid teens I'll pick one up. For now the Z seems more pratical as the street fighter for me.
