Cobra's are overrated

He may have shifted to 4th too early or too late, depending, but the only time we pick up less than 20mph in the back half is if we are knocking heavily or if there is a big boost leak. In stock form, I picked up 24mph, but nowadays I pick up 21-23 due to dying out on the top end without cams...

Definitely a drivers game here. I'm not a big fan of the Cobra, but you can't knock it's performance. They all run 12's here stock. I raced one with just a supercharger swap and he went 11.2@122. Not one other mod, not even exhaust or filter.
As for the LS1. Please, I have one and hate driving it but it will outrun a stock evo. It traps here in Florida at 105-107 and the evos trap right around 98-100. I have raced my friends stock evo several times and pull him everytime. He goes 13.5 and the SS goes 13.2. These are stock for stock numbers.
SS's and Cobra's aren't my thing, but how in the World can you down talk something that turns those kinds of numbers. And just because someone saw one run 14's or whatever isn't a fair generalization. Last week I saw an evo run consistant 15's at Moroso. I guess all evo's are slow
People at ls1tech are probably getting pissed because people keep talking ****. I visit there everyday and for the most part they all really respect the evo. So maybe we should do the same.
Couldn't resist.

I don't know, nor care if you beat the guy, but, if you think that Cobras don't run anywhere but in the 13s, I've got a 12.8 on a bone stock convertible and a 12.1 on a lightly modded one. We have a few Evo owners on our board and they are cool as hell. We respect their cars, they respect ours.
You beat the driver .

as said b4 cobras are not over rated at all. they are extremely fast as advertised. they are faster then our cars. i bought her b/c it was the fastest awd car i could afford. if i wanted a drag king i would have gotten a cobra hands down.
and camaros suck, i spank them all day on the highway even starting at 80. same goes for srts and firehawks.
