There's tons of youtube stock cobras getting vettes. Sure there are loses, but to act like its some sort of turd is laughable at best. I've beaten faster cars in my coupe; but out driving them doesn't mean their cars don't run.
I saw in the first race the Cobra getting the jump then the Z06 gaining and it even says "zo6 hit rev limiter" in the 2nd and 3rd race the Z06 clearly blows by it without an excuse from the Cobra..oh yeah the excuse is even with more power it weighs 600lbs more and is and aerodynamic brick wall compared to a Z06

there were 28,388 C5 Z06's made compared to 19,440 Cobras the Z06 stickered about $15k more and both low mile/clean cars are around $24k today you get more car for your money with the Z06, yeah the Cobra technically is more exclusive but a $1500 99' 6 Cylinder stang is 2 badges and a set of wheels away from looking just like one...

Drove my buddies 2003 modded cobra. Yawn... Just doesn't feel like a sports car. Im not talking about build quality or materials, just the driving experience.. no comparison... keep all Mustangs compared to 4th and 5th gen camaros and Challengers for pete's sake.. enough comparing to a sports car.... these threads are a joke. I know a 98 civic that runs low 10's.. ITS STILL A CIVIC!!!!! anyway back to the story, raced him and couple other cobras.. pullied, headers, gears intake.. my Z at time was just Longtubes, Vararam and a RPM 4.10 rear. Rolls from 20-30 mph.. don't know hp I had or they had but all I can say is I never lost a race and NONE of them were close. I base this on my 4.10's. Hell I came within a car length of my buddies intake, headers C6Z tuned and he can shift. Pulled on me like crazy after 100 mph though on a private highway.
