Default gt posi VS. cobra

what do you think about the gt's posi vs. the cobra's limited slip i drove my buddies cobra and he drove my GT and we both think that you get alot better hookup with the posi. it's not that his cobra has a lack of power either he's put alot of cash into his ride but as far as respose to the grownd when you mash the gas my gt just seems to be able hook up better, i guess my question is what's the deal there. is that normal.

i wouldn't say it's the diff but instead it probably might be because of the cobra's IRS

btw, did you know your car is gold?

i always thought that they had the same t-lok. however you should hook up better, a solid axle will hook up better then an IRS.

I'll trade ya my cobra for your GT [8D]
My old sixer was that color. I have a vid of it on my vid link.. I LOVED having that color.


What year was the cobra? If it was a 99+ it probalby had a little wheel hop. The IRS is harder to launch then a live axle...

Default RE: gt posi VS. cobra

thats the real color i like it only 1500 gt'd made in that color i'v never seen one like it on the road.

i'm definatly not willing to trade cuz it has more power than any cobra i'v raced wich is not saying much cuz most people think th v6's are a sports car, not in my book but i'm pretty much saying alot of people in my part of the country think anything over 300 hp is alot.

and who ever said that Gt's have limited slip too is wrong. i know cobras have the irs but the GT comes with a solid rear axel, i'v tried to spin tires around a corner a couple time once i ended up goin the opposite way i was intending on goin and the second time i got it down right and it made for a pretty good show for anybody who seen it. it's hard enough to keep the D*** thing straight when i'm just gettin on it so there's no way it's limited slip
