You guys are like women, it funny as hell.

Take care of them monster Cobras, I'll be back in a bit.

WE are the entertainment?

haha.

I'm not the one that has to keep sticking my thumb up my ass because I can't back up anything I say, and everytime I call bullshit I get shot down.

Be back after class,

Jeff

That was sarcasm before, it's called playing along with the "arrogant" title I got badged with early on...I acknowledged in another post that I understand GT's are going fast with boltons and I have respect for those cars. I know some GT owners with sweet cars...I can think of one in particular that is blown near me that is BAD ass.

I'm sure your car is faster than mine. Better looking? That's subjective, but something tells me that a sizeable poll would show otherwise. The argument here was stock or very-near-stock GT vs. Cobra races, not how a blown GT runs against a near-stock Cobra. I could always throw out the ricer line:

"What would you do if I put a blower on the Cobra?"
I never said I want to run any near stock cobra... Bring a blown one :D

Seriously, how can you say a car with less weight, way more horsepower, and the same gearing will lose to a car that has more wieght, a lot less horsepower, and the same gearing? It doesn't make sense. Given identical situations and environments, the 96-98 Cobra will dominate every time.

Exactly. You guys are arguing against plain and simple physics. How can a car lacking 30rwhp run a faster time given all things equal?

Ok well at least your understanding now that E.T. shows driver skill and trap speed shows what a car could do if launched correctly.

Its easy, the GT has a better torq curve and its lighter...

It would be simple physics if it would be the same car with 30 less hp and the same torq. with the weight of the both the same.

These cars are different in a lot of areas. :coolman:

From what I have seen, most 96-98 cobra trap around 101-103 stock. I have heard of them getting up to 104-105 mph but it is rare. The same goes for GT's where they average 98-100. Hitting 101 or even a amazing 102 (if it has hapened) is rare, but it has been done. I all depends on driver, track conditions, weather, etc. If you take the same elements and put them together the cobra will win but with unequal elements either car could run a faster time.

In a 1/8th mile race I feel that a GT and a Cobra are a dead even match. Someone stated that a GT will get the jump and that a cobra may not have enough room to pass the GT in the 1/4. It's possible, but after the 1/8th mile the 4v will really start to shine while the GT has to fight to hold a lead by the 1/4. Chances are the Cobra will pass the GT just shy of the 1/4 making it a close race. GT's are NOT faster than cobra's but have the abiltiy to hang with them.

For all the cobra owners (GT's included) who think there car is great, stop! There are multiple cars out ther now that will give you guys a beating and some of them are 4 cylinders (wrx, sti, evo, srt-4). Who really keeps their car stock? Race what you bring. Dont make excuses about mods.

No one ever said that the 2v motor was better than the 4v. They are different motors and make their power at different rpms. It depends on where you like your power. Personally I like the feel of the 2v better.

I think its great when a modded GT beats a cobra, it shows that the mods on the GT paid off and when a cobra beats a GT its great because it shows who is really on top of the food chain.
