Sorry to say but the LS1 will kill it. Unless it's a 03-04 Cobra than it's a totally different ball game.

Why would it depend on the year? The '98-02 LS1's were running low to mid 13's all day with NO modifications.
That would destroy a 99 Cobra with listed mod's.

I'd have my money on the '99 Cobra, without mods its pushing 320HP, while the Z28 w/o mods is only pushing 285HP.
Thats a 35HP margin between the two. On top of everthing else, the Z28 is just plain ugly. The LS1 is a great engine I'll give you that, but not good enough when it's stock. Now I would put my money on its older brother the SS, With 320HP also, lower lines gives it an advantage over the taller mustang in an all out drag. (my 2 cents)

Peace Y'all

Plus I've seen a similer race between an '00 Cobra and a '98 Z28, Cobra took it, but not without a fight. Good Race

I do have a Z28 and i do have a 88 GT and IMHO the Z will kill it. Yes kill it. If it beats it by 2 or 3 Cars...Then it's a kill not a beat. I always thought that 03-04 Cobs had 390HP.
Correct me if i am wrong on the Cobra.

Youre Wrong. By the way we're looking at the 99 Cobra not 03-04 models. And calm down, its an opinion. What does the 88 GT have anything to do with it, I have 66 Mustang who cares. I wasnt trying to rude i was just stating what I know, and learned.

66 stang? NICE
Like you said...WHO CARES what you have. I witness a stang getting wasted by Z28 LS1 every week. It's known as bull$hit corner...Who ever lives in calgary knows what i am talking about.
I am not wrong, like i said...I see it almost every week. Now LT1's are a diff story
