If I went WOT with my wife in my car, she'd **** all over herself from being **** scared. This is before 150 wet shot, I couldn't imagine what the hell she'd do with 150 shot.

Get the car dyno tuned and ported with that much boost cause something is up. You should be walking her like that.

I'de like to run against the wife in her vette. When I get my little Firehawk back with a rear end that will stay together I want to go down to the Seabrook area and look for the ^^^^^^ yellow vert cobra owned by Zac. Who knows I may have the Twin T's by then. Here's some funny stuff - Have a drag slip doing a 14.5 at 110.00 and a 13.0 at 96 MPH. Figure it out? Street tires on the track sucks when you have 400+ rwhp. Also a clutch that gets sucked to the floor and won't let you shift into 3rd or 4th is a challenge too. Complications due to modifications can be a frustrating thing.

To be honest the 03/04 Cobra's don't even compare to an 01-04 Z06. I use to own a KB 03 Cobra and let me tell you they are two totally different cars. It's apples vs oranges. Both cars have different goals in mind. This is just my opinion but the Cobra's are a good straight line cars and nothing more than that. There is nothng wrong with that because that's what they were designed for. They were made to kick the crap out of just about any other car out there for not a lot of money. Whereas the Vette was desgined to to be a true sports car. I think the 03/04 Cobra's are one of the best bang for the buck cars ever! My Cobra put down 591 rwhp on pump and 6XX with race gas and 21lb pulley, so it's was way faster than my Z06. I can always make my Z06 faster. It would have taken me a lot of money to make my Cobra handle, brake, or feel stable at high speeds like my Z06 is stock. I love the Cobra's and everytime I think about how fast it was makes me wish i still had it. Then again, my Z06 is my dream car so I couldn't pass up on it. I got a great deal. I paid the same for my Z than i did for my Cobra.
I've raced I don't know how many 03/04 Cobras and I've done pretty well against them. The Cobra's may have a blower and can eaisly put down 450-500rwhp but they are also very heavy. You can say weight doesn't make a different in a roll race but I disagree. My Cobra was 3630lbs without me compared to my Z06 which is 3080lbs without me. That's a big difference!
I've beat Cobra's that had as much as 90rwhp over me. Weight, gearing, and areodynamics make all the difference in the world. I like the looks of both car but I think the Vette looks a little better IMO. When you're in a Vette it's a totally different feel. You almost feel like you're in a race car. Bottom line, my Cobra was fast in a straight line but my Vette is the total package. As soon as I drop an LS7 into my Vette, it's going to be a screamer!
