What does that have to do with anything? We are talking about the '01 Cobra.

Bone stock the LS1 car will pull in the higher gears. They also repond better to modifications.



if you actually read my post i said a HIGHLY MODDED ls1 against a STOCK '04 cobra...

btw have you owned either car?????or even driven either car????

actually the hp #'s are pretty similar in an '01 cobra and an ls1 f-body,so it would still pretty much be a drivers race,until ridiculously high speeds....this higher gear pulling your talking about,yeah maybe above 125-130 mph,so what who really cares if it is a little faster on the top end....the '01 cobra still runs with it,looks better than it,has a nicer interior,and will outhandle it any day of the week..

and since when does an f-body outhandle a cobra????oh yeah that's right it doesn't...even fbody owners will tell you the handling sucks,fbodies are only good for going fast in a straight line...like has been mentioned above,how many fbodies do you see autocrossing,and how many stangs/cobras do you see??????
