yea, a Cobra does come with better suspension and lots of other things to help it get the power to the ground.... so i agree with grey stang, unless someone has seen it then its all up in the air..

I agree. Most stock cobra's run around 13 flat. A KB GT will easily run 12's, and even more with suspension to back it up.

Yack yack yack with the bench racing [sm=icon_blah.gif] It'd be nice to know the resultsof a real life race. You might be right 04gtmatt, have you raced a Cobra? Sounds from your numbers that on your best day your already faster than a Cobra ison a bad day..

I wonder if there are some racing tracks that have a web site you can visit, and look at time slips of different races. It would be cool if a track posted time slips and info about what type of car; mods; etc...

cobras also have IRS and a better gearing... so it'll still be close... there's a lot more to it than HP.
Yes. But as we all know Cobra IRS actually extremely hampers performance especially in a straight line drag race.

Holy shlt!! Cobras weigh that much? Where are they hiding all the weight? they have a supercharger+ a couple of other small things how does that equal a 450# differance?

Werd, IRS is made for the twisties not the strip.

Did anyone read the post on the 12 sec 2v gt on a budget? If you followed that and actually ran a 12.4 then you would smoke a stock cobra without a kenne belle. Just my .02.

All I'm saying is cobra's are 13 flat cars. GT's can match that with full boltons and suspension. A KB GT would run even faster than a full boton GT. KB GT could beat a cobra, but a cobra with a few mods is a different story.
