Default Terminator vs 5.7 GTO??

OK my friend just bought an 03 cobra. It is stock with some weld in flowmasters. Not sure of the mods on the GTO it has cam and a couple of other things. I do know that it dynoed 370rwhp. The race will probably beon the8th mile track. What do you guys think on the outcomeAlso what do stock terminators usually dyno??

GTO's have a CAM, singular. They're pushrod motors.

Stock Termie's are usually 375-390whp.

If the GTO is making 370rwhp, I'd give the win to the Cobra if he can drive......

Thecars in question appear to weigh about the same and have similar peak horsepower numbers. However, the Cobra is probably making more power under the curve. So I'll give the edge to the Mustang. But not by a whole lot.

Man, that GTO must have one hell of a baby cam in it. Most cam only LS1's I hear about are around the 400whp mark. Granted, they're F-bodies, but, an LS1 is an LS1.

I know this is way out on a limb but heres an stock LS2 GTO running a stock cobra.... and considering what the LS2 GTO's dyno (350ish RWHP on average) 370ish RWHP on theGTO might just get the job done

I say it will go either way and be neck and neckIMO

2004 Cobra SVT vs. 2006 GTO. Both stock. **Video was taken hours after being bought(Cobra) from the dealer (no front plate yet). Previous owner thought it was cool to not rotate stock tires after 25k miles. Rear tires are almost like DRs, hence the babied launches.

The guy just got the car and sucked at driving...listen to how long it takes him to shift.
