lolol. assuming u can drive the car to its full potential, you will take the vette off the line and will stay ahead depending how long u race for. If u can drive perfect and he cannot launch mint, you should take him in the 1/4.

idk man, i rode in an auto vette targa top and i was not impressed with its bottom end power... then i took him for a ride in my car and he almost **** his pants.
Yeah, I will also have the advantage of reving it up to about 3 and should hook up with the DR's along with the 355s should lauch me pretty decent, just like OnyxCobra's cobra , but hell, we will find out, it will def. be on the camera.

Yeah, that will happen if the guy in the Vette dies right before he says GO!

meh, street races are way different than racing at the track. I smoked an SRT4 on the street and they're usually always running faster times than me at the track. If the kid in the vette doesnt brake torque it before the start the cobra will get a huge jump on him. If a car isnt geared great it doesnt matter how much HP/TQ it has, it will still be a slug. Not that corvettes are slow, but under ideal conditions his cobra should be able to pull off roughly 13.6 with said mods, and ive definitely seen corvettes run slower than that. So you add that factor, plus the factor of racing on the street and the cobra has a chance of winning.

How is a 1994 Cobra going to run a 13.6 with only those mods which added maybe 15 wheel HP? The only real mod is the 3.55 gears but those are still to high to make a 1994 Cobra run a 13.6
A 99-04 GT would murder a 1994 Cobra and they won't see 13.6 with just 3.55's and a O/R pipe either.
Sorry but the Vette will win. Even if the Cobra jumps by 3 cars off the line it won't matter since if the launches were equal the Vette could easily put 5-6 cars on the Cobra.

The Vette should be capable of loooow 13's. The sticky tires on the Cobra should make the race a bit closer than stock vs stock, but the Vette should still win on the top end.

you may get that vette right off the line, but by second gear you will be passed and by third the vette will be walking away. one of my best friends had my dream car 2002 yeller vette with black leather . stock for stock he would run my 98gt(modded out) and my bolt on 02 gt down thru second everytime.
the vette will destory you hands down. Dont go from a roll, only go from a dig,. At least from a dig you may keep a shred of dignity by hanging with him for a few seconds.
