I am curious I own a stock 2001 fully equiped SLP SS M6.I was wondering if I were to drag race a stock 03 cobra who would win. I saw this white cobra that I am thinking of trading in my SS for ( 03 cobra). is it worth it or should I keep my chevy or traded in?

you would lose significantly and that video is inaccurate.

 

nice video

my thread on that video

 

Both are great cars but I would say trade it. If you are even asking this question you want something newer/different. Go test drive it and see if you like it, but drive it for 15-20 minutes to make sure. 11's are $600-700 away.

That vid is a Cobra with a poor driver as we see.

 

LMAO those comments are so funny. People talkin about a z28 will dust a ss and guys are like I have takin RAM AIR t/a and SS in my Z28 ....LOL ( because we all know that ram air adds 100 rwhp )

 

Lose significantly? I beg to differ. I can pull my Dad's brand new Z51 Corvette to my back bumper, in my bone stock 02 SS SLP. The Corvette weighs less than the Cobra, has better aerodynamics, and has more power. The Cobras are only low 13 second cars, that isn't that impressive, and we've seen a stock LS1 dip into the 12s on more than 1 occasion.

100rwhp of course not, but a noticeable difference above 60? Without a doubt.

There was an extensive test done by Sport Rider on SuperSport motorcycle's ram air efficiency, and the results would shock you. Positive manifold pressure after the filter at speeds as low as 45mph on the better ones. They are literally getting boost, without a compressor. No dyno will ever show this, but to say it isn't worth **** would be quite inaccurate.

WOW where did you see that, Ive seen stock ones run mid to low 12's all day long. I love chevys but you gotta give ford credit those are one hell of a car

 

The LS6 Z06 is only a mid 12 car, the best time I've seen was C/D's 12.4. It has more power, significantly less weight, better gearing, and better aerodynamics than the Cobra. And you're saying a Cobra can walk a Z06?

Motor Trend is showing a 13.12 @ 109.58 for a 2003 Cobra Convertible. On the same track, same day, a 2003 Corvette Convertible turned a 13.02 @ 109.59, and that's down 55hp from the mid-12 Z06.

 

nice vid

 

if you are interested in a white cobra i will sell you mine for 23k with all the mods. btw the cobra would win.

 

Just depends on how they want to trade you. If they dont want much boot then i'd say trade if the 2 cars are in about the same condition. It's kinda hard to say who'd win in a race..its kind of a drivers race i think. I did run dead even with a stock 03 or 04 cobra one night from about a 40 roll back when i was all stock except for a lid.

 

that cobra needs a driver mod or that camaro has more than just a lid, fra, and tires

 

lol i saw that too and replied to his stupid post. not that i shoulda wasted my time but i thought id enlighten him.

 

Just mod your car

 

you beat the driver not the car I love my camaro but I give credit where credit is due. Stock Vs stock the Termi is going to win with equal drivers

 

Cobra would win. The vid was correct in showing that a driver mod is the best mod you can have.

 

The Cobra will USUALLY trap 2-3mph higher resulting in a possible loss for you if the driver is good. People like to say there is a huge difference and many track times would indicate that but all of the street races I have seen between the 2 have been pretty close. Keep your LS1, it has more potential than a termi. Btw 11s are just $500-600 in a LS1 car too, thats not the logic you need to have for trading your car anyways. Why not buy a GTO? They are much nicer than a Cobra and they are still under factory warranty.

 

Trade it.
