<FONT color=blue>So who would really win in a 1/4 mile race? Stock vs. stock? Manual vs. manual??</FONT>

You're joking, right?

I beat a Z4 in my GT <img border="0" src=smileys/smiley3.gif border="0">

I think you may be mis-informed about the Z4.

the LS could even beat the Z4, do you have a brain?<IMG src=smileys/smiley29.gif border="0"></P>

the z4 3.0l does 0-60 in 4.9 sec. that's the same as the cobra isn't it? I thought maybe 1/4 would be close...

duh the 2003 Cobra......

ok the z4 does 14.5 Cobra wins.......

Z4....4.9 Seconds 0-60?? Are you sure you're not confusing it with the Z8? </P>


</P>


The Z4 is no challenge for an 03 Cobra.</P>

that's what everyone says! 0-60 in 4.9 maybe that was when they were coming out with it someone just thought that's what they would do...what do they do? like 5?

Try 5.4-5.9 seconds. And quater mile in low to mid 14's. Its only got 225 hp from a dohc inline-six. It is a pretty quick car. It beats the Porsche Boxter(not boxter s). But since it starts at just under $34,000, i'd much rather have a new Cobra.</P>

oh ok, I though it was more like 40,000....

i win <IMG src=smileys/smiley15.gif border="0">

lol! I realize that this was a wasted topic...I thought that it did faster than 14.5!!!

An BMW M3 doesn ;)

Them babies are schweeeeeeeet!

true dat, they have a 5.0 and do 5 to 60 not bad.....the price is bad though...

The M3 has a 5.0? It's a 3.2L, 333hp I-6. The coupe does 0-60 in 4.65, and the 1/4 in 13.18. These stats are from motor trends 2002 year model "top 27" test.</P>


I think the M5 has a 5.0L in it though.</P>


Just out of curiosity what kind of times are the new cobra running? They're in the mid to high 12's right? Ive never seen one race.</P>

An M3 is NO MATCH for even a stock 03 Cobra let alone a pullied one. The M5 is a bit closer but the Cobra still edges it out. I've driven an M5 extensively back to back with my 03 Cobra when it was stock. I've also driven a M Roadster. The roadster was more fun than the M5but the power of an 03 Cobra is just crazy. It just seems to pull to no end.</P>

I didnt mean to imply that the m3 or the m5 were any match for the cobra. I know the cobras are bad ass. Just didnt know what kind of times they are pulling. I just was trying to correct the m3 has a 5.0 statement. I know the m3 will do all of 13's in the 1/4, Ive seen it many times at MIR(Md. int'l raceway), I just havent seen a cobra race the 1/4 since I dont live in Md. anymore. I have heard high 11's and low 12's from numerous folks though, what are the real times coming from someone who has one.

<IMG src=smileys/smiley20.gif border="0"> It's all good. I've seen an 03 Cobra do 12.2 with a headwind at California Speedway. All he had was a 2.80" pulley, chip and slicks. Oh, and a little K&amp;N filter. A guy in 5.0 Mag did 11.89 with exactly the same mods although I wasn't there to witness it. It's not magazine racing since it was an official time from a track. On a side note, I wasn't implying that the M3 or M5 were slow...on the contrary, they were fast and very fun especially the M3 Roadster. If I had the money and if the Roadster had rear seats, I probably would have gotten one. I'm glad I didn't though cuz I'm crazy about my Cobra. Quality isn't as good as the Bimmer but not too shabby for $34K. </P>

the next gen M5 is gonna have a 500 hp v10 that will get it to 60 in lees than 4 seconds

Why am I reading this...??? lol
