It is quite capable of being faster than a Z06 in a straight line. And on the road course, yeah it will be behind, but not by much, which is pretty freaking impressive considering the car weighs ~600 lbs more than the Z06. Also the cobra realistically costs ~$15k less than a Z06, and an even larger gap to the cost of a Viper. (Don't give me the "but dealers are asking for markup on the car" because I KNOW that you can get one for at least MSRP if you really want to)
Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to knock the Viper or Z06, both are very fine cars in thier own right, but the new Cobra has them both soundly beat when the entire, all-around package is considered.
