if it had hood scoops and dual exaust it was a 6.0, if it had a smooth hood and single port but dual pipes, it was a 5.7

A 400 hp LS2 GTO will run away from a 1998 Cobra like it's standing still. I have raced97-98 Cobras with my LS1 and it's not a very close race. Even an LS1 GTO (a 6-speed anyway) should pull away, theyeasily trap over 100 mph, which a 1998 Cobra might be able to do but barely.
You guys act like LS1 F-bodies can outrun Tomahawk missles but LS1 GTOs move at the speed of smell. It's the same 350 hp engine! There's not that big of a difference.

A couple hundred pounds and a better suspension (Better Launch)is all that superates the F-body for the goat.
