i was not partial to either car before i bought my 99 cobra, and i liked the ss alot, but i was no way blown away by its performance, i felt the cobra had the upper hand. but mine was modded
Unless you have a significant amount of mods a stock LS1 F body will walk all over a 96-01 cobra, especially the 96-98s. 4.30s are a good upgrade, but we are talking about a car that puts down near 300rwhp from the factory."

Destiny98 said:SLP had intake & exhaust options for the SS that would add hp, but a base SS makes no more power & is no faster than a Z28.
chuckstang95 said:First off, a stock 99/01 does the 1/4 at about 13.8 at just over a 100mph. Second off, a bare bones stock ss is no faster then a z28. Also the bad ass lookin ram air on the ss actually did not help performance at all...look at all the bends before the air even hits the intake! Yes it is true that a fully SLP optioned SS is bad ass and fast as hell but still is a drivers race with a GEARED cobra. I test drove both cobra and ss for the longest time before I made my decision and well I obviously chose the cobra, and that was from a sheer performance view. Id like to know how close the SS engine is to the C5... was it really detuned for the SS or no?
