Is a 2001 cobra faster than a 94 corvette?I have been hearing from people that a cobra is faster than the early 90's corvettes. Is that true?
Thanks.

I don't want to start an auto vs stick war but we are talking about dragracing, my 92 auto vette with nothing but a muffler replacement, not a cat back exhaust, ran a best of 13.5 on street tires (automatics are 99% of the time better transmissions for dragracing). I have never seen a lt1 powered vette run in the 14's. That 95 lt1 that ran 12.9 stock at e-town is incredible, his first name is frank and is known on the vette forums as Mr Mojo.Fusion said:It all depends on the car/driver, it could go eirher way. I've owned 3 vettes before I picked up the Cobra. If the 94 was a stick with a good driver, it could run a low 13 bone stone... very few autos will run that quick... most are in the 14.0 to 13.7 range.
I do know of a bone stock 95 LT1 vette thats ran a 12.9x at E-town... this car was a stick with an extremely good driver.

I joined this board to look at peoples project and get an idea of just what is needed to reach my performance standards.

I want to state again that i am not trying to preach GM here and start a forum riot. Well in my opinion there is absolutely no excuse for a performance car (mustang, vette, camaro whatever) to quarter any slower than 13.5. I am actually interested in a 94-95 cobra but they seem really expensive for what they are. Ten year old carswith like what 240hp?blk32V said:I really dont know if the 01 Cobra is faster than the Vette, should be a good race stock vs stock.
Buy a Cobra and put some 4.30 gears in and the performance will be there definitely! My car throws me back in my seat pretty good with my 4.30s all the way through 4th gear, its awesome. What are your performance standards?

I apologize to the original poster for getting so far off topic. But to answer your question your average 94 corvette is going to quater somewhere are 13.4-13.7 with street tires, what does an 01 cobra run.

I didnt spend "all that money" and if a vette beats me, congrats, nice car, good driver. You dont need to come on here and start flame wars, its lame. Corvette means something to some people, to me it means, old man trying to cope with his age. Cobra's are just as special, go fast parts, ability to stop and corner, limited production, and they are even cheaper than a vette. So you spend your money where you want, and we will spend ours where we want. Dont knock someone because they dont like vettes, just quiet yer mouth, and think what you want.gottavette said:come on now. i have a 94 corvette with an LT1. i have been up against 3 svt cobras and were they mad they spent all that money on their "special" mustangs. my car is bone stock but they just didn't remember one thing-------CORVETTE------- means something.
Craig Mack said:Depends. Back when I had my '95 Maxima SE, before I converted it to 5spd, and before the supercharger, I raced an early 90's vette, and tied it. This is with me letting him have the first jump.
I think they have different variants depending on the year, but if my old-old low 7 second 0-60 Max could handle one, I think an 01 Cobra should annihilate one.
