k just tryin 2 figure out whats comparable to you....it's obviously price

imo regardless of pricing, with what the cobra is made of it should be much faster than an ls1 car but it really isnt. that is why i don't respect them even if one happens to beat me

The best stock ET that I'm aware of for a Cobra is a 12.43.
The best stock ET that I'm aware of for a LS1 fbody is a 12.89.

A half a second is huge...not to mention the 114mph traps that
came with the 12.43 ET for the Cobra.

Now, that's all irrelevant for the most part since the general public
can't drive either car. But there is no denying the fact that the Cobra
is the faster car in stock trim.

Stock sucks. Bench racing sucks. Woulda coulda shoulda sucks.

Now, ya see.....that makes it sooo much easier. Now no one with a Mustang in here has to EVER worry about trying to gain any respect from you.

I'm assuming you're talking about a Camaro...and that you wouldn't
call one something as gay as a "dumdumdumdum" (but you did). You have
to compare the appropriate trim levels...Camaro SS to the Cobra.
There is maybe a $5-$6K difference in MSRP, which is really nothing.

Besides, relying the $$$ debate is very ricer. I would hope that people
here are above that BS argument.

Hmmmm....let's see...because you can't follow the rules within the forum
in which you post. Get it? Care to cry any further because you can't follow
the rules?

if you beat one in your turd its not bacause your car is faster, its because the other guy can drive or went from 5th while you were in 3rd to make it fair. n whats up with your sig?
