94Blk5.0

^ Well keep in mind, a 5.0 Cobra is basically a mild H/C/I car compared to the same year GT's.. Still not fast in stock trim by any meas, but they are leaps and bounds ahead of GT's especially when effective bolt ons are involved.

ahhh still a mid 14 second car with a good driver taking on a mid 13'second car with a good driver. The cobra makes a whopping 15 more hp than a gt. It's gonna be a beating.

True, stock for stock they aren't close. Throw full exhaust and gears in a Cobra and it will wake up.. GT-40 heads, GT-40 intake and a slightly different cam than the H.O 5.0's help make about 250 crank HP in stock trim. I wouldn't bet money on the OP but it should be close, especially in the 1/8th.. Edit: if he has full exhaust.

I have the exhaust as a wash considering the s197 has exhaust also. Only one way to find out who's faster. Line em up OP.

I skimmed the first post and thought wtf. Then noticed its a 94 and remembered push rods lol. Definitely need a decent top end kit.

A little late to the game, but...I like the Cobra's mod potential over the S197, but yea the old Cobra doesn't stand a snowball's chance. There's a solid .8 tenths to a second between those cars at least.

Well good to know your guy's opinions! I am a more experienced driver then he is and his 08 gt just has flows aside from that STOCK! I have shorties/ o/r xpipe and slp mufflers. 3.73 gears good clutch and I consider myself a pretty good driver! But some of you make it sound like im running a turd vs a jet.... seriously?

Soldier GT

It is (turd vs jet). You would fair a better chance against a stockish New Edge. If you want to proof us wrong.....Race him!

Js88lx

That's the idea. Im waiting on the guy to set up a time. Trust me when I say you guys will be the 1st to hear and see the outcome!

If I was driving the S197 it would be like a turd vs. a rocket!!!
