Ok here i got an idea. Lets start the infamous "whos faster stock for stock" arguement.

03 cobra (Stock) has roughly 50 to 75rwhp more than a stock LS1.

So your telling me that stock Z28s/TAs beat stock terminators "ALL THE TIME" with equal drivers? Come on are you serious?

in no way, shape, or form am I bashing LSx cars. Its simple physics and numbers.

I knew someone would come in here thinking that he lying about mods or something. The cobra lost and there were witnesses. Get over it.

They can always race again

it's no surprise the Cobra lost...take them to the track and the Camaro will probably trap higher

those guys are probably better drivers than him, only the KB and Whipple times matter...but you can see how fast these cars can be with the factory blower

Strange I thought cobras usually had a really good power band thanks to the blower.

Ive really only seen GT500s dyno but even the modded one's torque curves look like a damn table.

Whatever, wish I could have been there to see

Saw a blue HPP TT one out at Enis a while back, It ran okay, I think he was having some problems though. His runs varied quite a bit.

where is "around here"? im assuming you dont have a bunch of KB cobras and one TT cobra in your garage.

The car is only a dyno queen if the driver makes it one. there are full weight street cobras with 600+ rwhp in the 10s. Dyno queens? i think not.
