Update for all the haters that said the SS should have laid the smackdown and he needs the driver mod.. Pretty damn equal if you ask me huh!! BTW both cars ran on the same Dyno if it matters..

The Camaro has a better-looking torque curve.

he should have walked you badly, your friends car needs the driver mod
I'd like to know how a car that only traps a couple mph faster will walk another one badly.
Well I want to know how the driver mod even comes into play from a roll [&:]

Well you have the kids that miss 3rd all the time...instead of going into 4th go into 2nd...and those who take 40 minutes on the 3-4 shift[&:]

It's not as present from a roll but a certain amount of skill that some don't pocess is required.

Soon as it warms up I'm getting 4.10's and a SCT or Predator tuner also gonna have it dyno'd with those mods I'm hoping low low 13's.. The wheel hop with the IRS is horrible so eventually wanting to do something with that.. Maybe a catless X pipe too.
This should help with the wheel hop

Not equal at all, look at power under the curve not just peak numbers.

That's still a pretty nice torque curve. Also have to consider that the car revs higher so while the Camaro is wasting time shifting the Cobras still in it's powerband.

He should have walked you. These cars are not equal, a good driver in a stock 99 Cobra is lookin at mid 13's maybe. Good driven though I bet he was pissed.
And full exhaust wont get hime more than a tenth? This story is very believable, the only bad thing about the 320hp 4v 4.6 in the 99/01 Cobras is that all of the power is up top. So....full exhaust in a car that makes horsepower in higher RPMs versus a stock, low 13 second car doesnt compute? Its not like he destroyed the LS1, he didnt even say he won. He said the guy was slowly inching. Good runs dude.

From a roll I am not launching so the torque curve under 4k is irrelevant. When I shift around 6,500 RPM it drops right to 4K so I stay right inside my powerband..BTW you dont think I noticed that he is over 300 FT LBS from damn near idle ???? His car is fast but mine aint no turd either!!!
