I like naturally aspirated power too but those 4.6 Cobra's aspirated are hard for an LS1 car to beat.

If you want to match up stock cars, I would match the ZR1 against a blown cobra. A blown Cobra against a stock LS1 isn't really apples to apples.

Stock to stock but who really leaves these cars stock.That Cobra only needs a KB Blowzilla and its around 600 Horsepower.Im not a big fan of Ford's and have never been in a 03-04 Cobra.I'd rather have a 400+ cubic inch LSX motor with the aid of some nitrous.

Those Cobra's are great cars, but you are comparing a limited edition car they made five years ago. Again, not really apple to apples. 400+ cubes on an LS motor and you are easily in the 11's too without any power adder. My car runs 11's on street tires without even trying, and if you pull up next to it you can barely tell it is not stock. That is the beauty of the LS motors.

I would rather have the Camaro that runs in the 11's.Other then the way they sound I just don't like supercharged car's.Also the Cobra'a might be great car's but too many 5.0 Turbo Mustang's walk all over them.I was wondering what was the size of your engine?? If your car can run 11's on street tire's then its a monster on the street.Probably a whole lot more funner and more driveable then my 402 Big Block 69 Camaro.
