Curious.

 

MMFF ran a 12.4 at 113ish in a bone stock one. There may be faster stock times.

 

Eh, I've heard some ridiculous times from MMFF about other Stangs. I doubt it.

 

Plenty of others have ran very similar in stock form, believe what you want.

 

Well, what do you mean by very similar? Exactly 12.4? 12.5? 12.6? I mean, it's certainly believable for me. It better be with 390 horses and pounds of torque. Haha.

 

i ran a 12.73@112 in my buddies box stock 03 vert (read the post "raced my buddies 03 at the track)...not a real agressive laucnh and not powershifting it....i couple probly get a hi 12.5 out of it...but im not your average driver
with a good driver (like me) they should run with z06's....close to anyway...

 

A 03/04 cobra wont run with a zo6.There have been zo6 that have been in the 11s.

 

maybe i should of said "will run with a zo6 or close to anyway, if he cant drive"....

And even then you still have to know wth your doing to run 12.5's in a Z06

 

Do you doubt that MM&FF ran a 12.89 and a 12.96 in box stock LS1s? And if you're not going to believe the responses, why bother to even ask the question?

 

good points.

 

Oh, I believe some of the responses.

Very, very impressive. I'm tossing around the idea of selling my 99 Cobra once the NMRA season is finished and picking one up. Tough decision for me.

Cobras will not run with Z06s, plain and simple. I'm talking everything being equal, and that's really the only way to talk about it. No point in saying "Well if this driver did that, and that driver did this..." Sheesh, my '84 Buick could beat John Force, too, if he had a heart attack at the tree, get my point? So, that being said, best times v.s. best times you're looking at high 11s @ 118-120 for the Vette and mid 12s @ 110-112 for the Cobra. Compare average v.s. average and you're looking at mid-low 12s for the Vette and low 13s-high 12s for the Cobra.


Both cars are outstanding performers so there's no point in arguing about such trivial matters. I'm not a "die-hard" fan one way or the other (Chevy v.s. Ford), it's just a very simple matter of one car weighing about 1k lbs less (Vette) and both cars having almost identical HP. Obviously the lighter car will accelerate faster.




Jon

 

I've never seen a stock Cobra run. But I have seen a lightly modded one in mid-high 12's.

BTW: Jon, what happened to your Altima?

 

Oh, I get it. So if it fits your preconceived notion of what a 03/04 Cobra should run, you believe it. If it does not, you don't believe it. Right?

I've got some info I could pass you, but I'm not going to waste my time. You'll discount and not believe it, because I can assure you it goes against your idea of what one should run.

Have fun.

Jon....I agree. Everything else being equal (ie...same track, same driver skill, etc), and talking stock to stock, a 2002-2004 Z06 is about 5 tenths and 3-4 mph quicker than a 03/04 Cobra. That's an average based on observations.

Once the mods start, all bets are off, and most 03/04 Cobra's close the gab in a BIG hurry, simply because it is so easy to gain big power with (any) a forced induction car.
