ok, l heard the '03 Cobra can run door to door with a Vette Z06. And a Z06 can run door to door with a SRT-10, so does that mean the Cobra can run with the SRT-10??? My friend and l got in an argument and l said the Cobra runs with the Viper....lf it does, it'll be sad because the Viper has 500hp.

I would question the 12.2 times for the Z06. Maybe on slicks. The tests I've seen show closer to 12.8/12.6. I think some of these tests they must be using some serious VHT or something. Remember, all the new Cobra guys have to do is change the air filter, add a Lightning pulley and they've got 11's too. For a lot less money.
I have a 2002 Z06, and trust me, it won't run 12.2 stock. Best I've got is a 12.6. And there's no way the vipers run in the 11's. they run low 12's, about 12.2-12.4. Actually, the Vette and Viper run a lot closer than you think. Not door to door, obviously, but if a vette gets a viper off the light, it WILL be door to door at the end of the track! As for the cobra's, they run 12.9-13.1 on average. I could easily get my vette to a 12.4-12.5, with a few more runs. Depends on time of day and humidity as well. Anyways,these cars are great. I don't care much for the viper, for I think it is VERY overpriced. It has 500 HP, yes, but it only runs within a few tenths quicker than the vette and it only gets around 10 MPG as opposed tothe vettes' average20 MPG, which is amazing for such a sports car, don't ya think? I am getting a new cobra, so I willbe in a good position to compare performance in both cars. Justmy $.02.
They get 20 MPG? That's insanity! You'll never see me complaining about chevy...but the Cobra is still very cool. In fact, I'd still take a S/C Cobra over that any day. Anyone know the gas mileage on Cobras?
Oh, of course...but on the subject of bang/buck...might as well get a GT and do some pretty heavy mods and use your own supercharger since i know there's better than what Ford's putting in those Cobras.
