I believe everybody has made their point on what will happen.....

Get some gears and a shot of gas, and youll be fine. Id say a good 150 shot should give you enough boost to overtake him.......

And blackcobra94....... if youre outrunning a 99 cobra by only a carlength, you wouldnt be staying with an LS1 camaro. I ran my friends FULL BOLT ON, geared 01 cobra several times when i ha donly a lid. On the highway, it would be a good 1-2 cars i would pull. From a dig it was different, he had sticky tires and 4.10's so it wasnt pretty for me from a dig. [>:]

A roll race isnt even a real race. All 96-98, 99, and 01 cobras really need do keep up with an LS1 is a set of 4.10s. The LS-1s are faster stock for stock, but it doesnt really take a whole lot to get those cars up to par with one.

All you need to beat the LS1 is DR's, 4.10s and a good 100-125 shot of nitrous.

Edit: Since your an auto, a shift kit would really help you out, as would a stall.

LOL

Slick97gt

LOL what?

You dont think thats enough to beat most stock LS-1s? He will have better gearing, similar power, less weight, and better traction.

I could be wrong, but I think thats enough to take a stock LS-1, from a dig at least.

Stock for stock, you will be murdered. You need to put some serious dough into your car for you to keep up against a stock LS1. But like other members stated...nitrous, full exhaust and a torque convertor should do the trick.

99-01 Cobras run mid 13s stock. Full bolt ons and a gear and you beat it with a lid????? You car stock ran what maybe 13.3 at best being a 98. A cobra like you described puts down at least 325 where as your car put down with a lid about 290 since there is no LS6 intake on your car stock. Some of the stuff you say sounds like bs. Go ahead flame away I will have a comeback.

A 99-01 Cobra should be in the neighborhood of 270-275 HP stock. With full bolt ons and geared, you are right...it should be about 325-330 HP. That LS1 is around 290-295 HP stock, and with a lid would make it 300-305 HP. Also, a 99-01 Cobra and a 98-02 LS1 f-body weigh around the same. This is where tires come into place, as well as driver. I've seen so many people that drive a fast car, but don't know how to put the power down. The Cobra driver could not be a good driver, or the LS1 driver could be one hell of a driver. Anyways, all bs aside..a full bolt on, geared & sticky tired 99-01 Cobra should walk a lid only LS1, regardless if it has a LS1 manifold or LS6 manifold.

Please please, argue with me a bit more about WHAT I ****ING EXPERIENCED FIRST HAND.

Have you ever driven a BONE STOCK, 3.27 geared 99/01 cobra? Sloooooooooow. Id be surprised if those dog **** slow cars broke a 13 bone stock. Anyone who thinks a cobra is a mid 13 second car from the factory is ignorant. The gears in those cars were ridiculous. 3.27 for a 7k redlining car? Wtf? They finally got it right and slapped the 3.55's in them for 03.

My friends cobra at the time put down 317hp and 299lb tq. I put down 315/337. The cobra is also a vert, which i negelected to mention.

As i said, he would walk me from a dig. From a highway roll though, wed stay even for a bit, then id pull away top end.

Theres more to racing than horsepower. And 99/01 cobras do not pick up 55rwhp from bolt ons. Its a 4.6, not a 6.0.

But please, go ahead and argue with the FACTS that i have just shown you.

Oh, and 00 SLVR Z, can you explain to me why gears add horsepower? Because you said this: "With full bolt ons and geared, you are right...it should be about 325-330 HP".

I was unaware that putting a steeper gear in your car actually ADDED horsepower. I was under the impression that on a dyno with steeper gears it would read less, due to the fact 4th gear (the pulling gear) is no longer a 1:1 ratio.

Oh, and the fact that GEARS ADD NO ****ING HORSEPOWER WHATESOEVER.

^^^ i'd love to run you it would be a good race,from a role at say 35.
this is not a fight just i like even races well close.

SilverBullet5.0

It would not be close. I have alot more than a lid now.
