1. 03-04 Cobra
2. C5 Corvette
3. WS6 Trans Am
4. Charger SRT8
5. 05 GTO
6. 03-04 Mach 1
7. 99-01 Cobra

03-04 Cobra responds best to mods. Also, to be fair 2-5 are all pretty much 12.9-13.2 1/4 mile times.

Cobra's hp was under rated from the factory and weighs less. Additionally, because of the Eaton, its torque curve comes on around 2k and stays flat to redline.

It just is. If you check most publications the cobra is a faster car.

1. C5 Corvette
2. 03-04 Cobra
3. 05 GTO (LS2), Trans am, Charger SRT-8 All had same trap speeds and 1/4 times.
4. Mach 1
5. 99-01 Cobra

For modding
1. 03-04 cobra. How much do these things gain from a simple pully swap.
2. C5 Corvette, Trans am. Same motor, same go fast mods.
3. the rest. None were made in big enough numbers to have the vendor support. They can all be made fast but it'll cost you more and you'll have less choices for mods.

people say the c5 vette runs the same times as other LS1 cars, the camaro, the ws6... and avg 1/4 mile time on the termi is 12.7 compared to like a 13.0 on the LS1 cars. The C5 vette might out handle them on a road course though so it might get #2 spot.

so i'd have to put it
1. 03-04 cobra
2. all the others
3. mach 1
4. 99-01 cobra
