SVT Cobra vs. Viper SRT-10
ok, l heard the '03 Cobra can run door to door with a Vette Z06. And a Z06 can run door to door with a SRT-10, so does that mean the Cobra can run with the SRT-10??? My friend and l got in an argument and l said the Cobra runs with the Viper....lf it does, it'll be sad because the Viper has 500hp.

The cars won't run door to door. The z06 only runs 12.29's, the viper runs 11.77's, and the cobra is around 12.8.

There is a lot of cool info on this page.....
Notice the #'s on the '68 Hemi Cuda. Gotta love that old Mopar performance!!!

I would question the 12.2 times for the Z06. Maybe on slicks. The tests I've seen show closer to 12.8/12.6. I think some of these tests they must be using some serious VHT or something. Remember, all the new Cobra guys have to do is change the air filter, add a Lightning pulley and they've got 11's too. For a lot less money.

I have a 2002 Z06, and trust me, it won't run 12.2 stock. Best I've got is a 12.6. And there's no way the vipers run in the 11's. they run low 12's, about 12.2-12.4. Actually, the Vette and Viper run a lot closer than you think. Not door to door, obviously, but if a vette gets a viper off the light, it WILL be door to door at the end of the track! As for the cobra's, they run 12.9-13.1 on average. I could easily get my vette to a 12.4-12.5, with a few more runs. Depends on time of day and humidity as well. Anyways,these cars are great. I don't care much for the viper, for I think it is VERY overpriced. It has 500 HP, yes, but it only runs within a few tenths quicker than the vette and it only gets around 10 MPG as opposed tothe vettes' average20 MPG, which is amazing for such a sports car, don't ya think? I am getting a new cobra, so I willbe in a good position to compare performance in both cars. Justmy $.02.

They get 20 MPG? That's insanity! You'll never see me complaining about chevy...but the Cobra is still very cool. In fact, I'd still take a S/C Cobra over that any day. Anyone know the gas mileage on Cobras?

Oh, of course...but on the subject of bang/buck...might as well get a GT and do some pretty heavy mods and use your own supercharger since i know there's better than what Ford's putting in those Cobras.
