How to Kill a SVT Cobra? What do I need to do to killa pesky SVT Cobra?
WE're running a 02 Z28 w/ SLP exhaust......that's it for right now. Got Pacesetter LT's and a 3.73 gear waiting to go in.
Even as stock as the car is....it only pull about 1 and a half cars on us.

What years??? If stock then you will easily defeat 94-02's i would think. The 03 and 04's are the scary ones.....stock they are not too bad, but with very little work you have a 500+ rwhp cobra to deal with

u should go with h/c + bolt ons and i think u should get a 03, 04 cobra easily, or else if u dont want to spent a lot of money just get a big shot of nos that should do the trick

yeah... get a cartek stage 2x h/c package like me... You'll smoke them REALLY BAD... like they are standing still 
Even if they have a pulley.... where they'd be in the high 11's, you'd be in the mid-low 11's

00 SLVR....You dont need those mods to beat a stock cobra..At my track with my slow 2.73 gears my friend cobra was only a tenth faster than my vette stock for stock. The fastest stock cobra at my track was only 3 tenths faster than me stock for stock...Both on stock tires as well...
For a C5 all you need is an air intake and exhaust. That should make up for the 3 tenth advantage they usually have over a stock c5. for a Fbody wich is only a tenth slower than the C5..all you need is intake/exhaust and tires for a stock Cobra and you'll waste him..
Yea there are people out there that ave ran 12.6 in there bone stock Cobra. But dont sell your self short. there are also people running 12.8's in stock vettes and 12.9's in stock f bodys...
And before someone comes and post how a stock cobra has ran 12.4...stock c5's have ran 12.6..And stock f bodys have ran 12.8. In stock form the cobra is faster. But your talking 2-3 tenths faster than a C5 or 3-4 tenths faster than an f body..
You just posted that you need full bolt ons..A cam and DR's just to take a stock cobra. Your smoking crack. A cammed full bolt on F body on Dr's will run 11's. why do you need to run 11's to kill a mid-high 12 second car??????
My friends 03 cobra ran 13.4..My stock vette ran 13.5..The fastest stock cobra at our track ran 13.2...
With an stock LS6 heads..small cam and no cats with a ram air intake all untuned on street tires i run 12.9 ( 3 tenths faster than the fastest stock Cobra at my track) If i had all the bolt ons plus drag radials and a tune I would be well over a second faster than the stock cobra.
Were you thinking about a 05 Viper an accidentally typed stock 03 cobra?????

So, since I DOMINATED your sorry, misinformed *** in the Porsche argument, are you going to flame me with all your posts now? Hurts to be wrong doesn't it? Sorry if I make a positive post, but I guess it bothers you. I'm sorry I'm not as big a badass as you are on the street in my big bad vette. Get a life pal.
Oh, and if a stock 03 Cobra is running 13s, then the driver sucks. Period. I can make up stories about Fbodies/Vettes running 14s too if you'd like? Bench racers...ugh.
