Re: Just got bit by a cobra
01 cobras from what I've seen aren't slouchs themselves with good drivers, I've ran into 2 on the street and a guy I know's dad had a 01 vert a couple years ago. The thing didn't feel that strong riding in it at all, but the results on the street were a bit different. He also ran 13.7@104 bone stock. He out ran a buddy of mine in his 01 GT that ran 13.4@102 with bolt on's with 5 people in the car to my buddies 3.

PS. My times are in my sig... I'm not trying to say I'm fast.. Just saying your comment was quite base-less and absent of anything valuable.

They have? Since when? The 96-98 Cobra's ran dead even with LT1 Z28's.

Re: Just got bit by a cobra
I'm glad general motors came out with a supercharged truck to compete with the lightning. Oops, did I say compete? I meant spank that ***.
I'm so tired of this supercharger bull****. I think chevy should supercharge the new camaro, the corvette, and go crazy with the silverado.
Thats funny that the cobra is comparable to the camaro. I think its more on a corvette level, yet NA camaros are spanking them left and right.

I have a 96z with all the free mods, 3.73 gears (auto-mat), cut-out and k&n filt. what I want to know is it better to do more bolt-ons headers etc. and a lil juice, or should i just go all out and buy no2 with a bigger shot. My car also has 145,000 miles no leaks (knock on wood) so I Know rebuild is in the future. thanks 
I thought there was no 02 cobra?? there was in 01 and 03, but not in 02.

N/A Cobra = Headers and a lumpy cam
03 Terminator = Stroker, LT's and alittle nitrous
