never been in a cobra...
http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/member.php?u=76285
ask him if i have been in a cobra.. he is a good buddy... also have been in a full exhaust intake tune ported pullied cobra.. i know what they feel like, and how well they run from a roll.........

i dont basically call the majority of them slow for there hp... i outright said it... and ill say it again... the MAJORITY of the time... they have 450rwhp cobras that are running mid 8s in the 1/8... that my friend, is a huge joke..

they built a HUGE rep for themselves.. ROLL RACING! not dig... how often do you hear someone go "dont race that cobra from a dig, its sick".. you usually dont.. you hear "dont **** with it from a roll"... and they are SICK cars from a roll.. with a FEW far and few in between sick from a dig.

like i have said.. a cobra is LEAPS AND BOUNDS a overall better car than a gto... but at the drag strip, i TOTALLY disagree... and to me, thats all that matters... especially since thats the topic on hand.. is the gto hands down better at the strip... no... but on average... yes..




did you miss how many times i have gave the cobra credit in this thread.. it is BY FAR a more OVER ALL and WELL ROUNDED car than the LS platform....
but when you start breaking it down... it just cant compete in the drag racing department ON AVERAGE!

8psi on a cobra and 8psi on an ls2 gto... the ls2gto will make more power.. and be VERY streetable, and VERY reliable.. its been done OVER AND OVER..

better ALL AROUND?

cobra...

better per dollar ALL AROUND?

cora...

is that what you want to hear, will it make you sleep better? cause its the honest truth...

now going back to the conversation on hand, INSTEAD of you changing it to make the cobra look more superior...

IN DRAG RACING is the cobra better than in 05-06 GTO considering mod for mod and dollar for dollar?

no.. the gto is better in almost all scenarios..
Yeah I must of miss all the credit you've given the Cobra's in this thread because it seems to me that you have a pretty low opinion of them. I can't sit here and argue track times because I don't track my car. Not that I'm opposed to it, its just something I haven't done. My point is they can accellerate through the air at very quick velocities as soon as you step on it with minumum $ and mods invent. We must be arguing two different thing. Most Terminator owners that I've meet claim some pretty decent times though. Still I bet you that if you do the suspension, tire, and gearing mods a Terminator will hold its own just fine at a track.

Your last part in no way affects my sleep, but I do give you props for admitting that a Cobra is good at what it doesn't, and it makes you look like your not as blindly byiast to a particular brand as you looked a few post ago. A bone stock Terminator runs 8 psi, but again thats a stupid and irrelevant argument. See which makes more at 19 or 20 psi... Oh wait you'll be buying a new motor if you try and push that kind of boost through a stock LS2, probably even on race gas. A higher compression, larger displacement motor should naturally make more power psi for psi. A N/A 4v should make more power with equal blowers psi for psi until it blows as it has a higher compression ratio.
