Cobras responds mods very good and they make great power stock but way too heavy. I CANNOT imagine cobras being around 3400lbs with the driver. damn! these things would clearly own the streets then. i bought used mid-pipe and catback and the car gained 30rwhp -18rwtq with it.

again, 08 LS3 vette should walk away from a stock cobra. pullied cobras should win but not by much.

if they told you it was stock and put down 400rwhp, either they lied to you or the dyno lied to them..... or it was bone stock with a dyno tune, stock terminators usually put down 365-375....but ive herd rumors of some comming close to 390rwhp area....
nope, sorry, it was stock except for the catback and put down 400RWHP. the dyno was fine as everyone else's numbers were right on. they checked to make sure he didn't have a chip or something after the 425RWHP from just the filter. filter + catback = 425RWHP. that doesn't mean every cobra will do that, but that's what his did. he had the entire group crowded around after that run.
Sounds like that Dyno needs to be recalibrated.

Thats if the vette can drive.I ran a 08 c6 ls3 at the track last weekend. Killed him every time. We ran four times against each other. He was getting low 13's high 12's. He had just bought this car.I was hitting consisten 12.8's the whole night. So make sure that dude can drive cus if he cant the cobra will walk him. But then again the vetteI ran was a stick. Im gonna say the winner will be who ever knows their car better/ drivers race, with the vette having the edge on this one.

Correct, youbeat the Driver, not the Vette. If that '08 was stock, he's got almost 85 rwhp more, putting the car (not the driver) in the mid to low 12's, all day.

Agreed. Something was not right, Dyno off maybe? Cobra's do not make 400rwhp stock or with cat back. No way, never.

Thats true and lets hope since that vette is coming back out this weekend that he gets better times than he did last weekend.And if he does I'll be ready for him. I have little button under my steering wheel that says go baby go if you know whatI mean. LOL
