[QUOTE="TroyV, post: 11306476, member: 28469"] Having driven both cars extensively; My modified Cobra and a virtually stock C6 Z-06, both on track and autocross, I can say without possibility of doubt of any kind that given equal drivers and tire compound, the Z cannot be touched. I still feel that my Cobra was one of the better set up cars in the suspension department, and the lap times at the places I have been just cannot compare. Sorry to the ford fans here, but the Cobra is just too heavy and has just too much weight over the nose for whatever suspension you put under it to be nearly as effective as the Corvette. I think you need to go as far as installing an aluminum block and trim the weight considerably to be able to stay with a Z driven by an equal driver on the same tire. That said.....and sorry to the corvette fans here....90% of corvette drivers at DE events are waxers...and not willing to drive cars this expensive at intensity levels that assume lots and lots of risk. Even I can run most of these guys down like dogs in the street with a 100 hp Miata. It means nothing. What it all means is that it doesn't matter who you are running down and who is running you down, the better, more experienced driver is going to be quicker almost totally independent of the car they are driving. Emphasis on "almost". [/QUOTE]
