No question the Vette. Mustangs are like driving a truck with a lower stance. They don't handle that well, they aren't that fast, and they are VERY heavy. Heavier than my damn Vision, that is way too much. For me there is no question in my mind that I would take the Z06 over the SVT any day of the week. |

This is a Joke rifght..
they've tested the Hardtop Z51 C5 and its adead on match for acceleration and it beats the Vobra around the track and auto corss.. the Z06 i don't know about where you live but LISTED at 48k As far as the elise and TVR and think the TVR wouldn't be as much of a problemthe Elises well they hada cobra R 00 get beat by one but the 00 R got beat by "01 385" Zoz the 02-03 Zo6 are significantly faster i'll say this with some differet street tires BFG KWD's i ran stock a click over 12 flat .. if thats not fast out of the box for under 50 k.. what is? a nd it will post highher than 1 g' with the Comp KWD.. so imagine at least a 1.12 g.. since theuve made a regular Z51 C5 go from .91-.92 to 1g i'm sure theyimprove the Zo6 equally the Cobra handles surprisingly well.. but it just does have it.. Remeber you get what you pay for |

ZO6 vs Cobra
NO doubt the Z would burn the Cobra pretty bad, not only does the Z have more power, but it is much, much lighter, and is geared differently. Not to mention better tires, those Goodyear Eagle F1's are bad ass. And pretty damn good for a factory tire. If you get a chance, read the May 2003 issue of motor trend. They matched a C5 vette against a 390hp cobra, and the C5 still mananged to slip past it, not by a whole hell of a lot though, but hey, wining is wining right? And that was a C5 vette, so what does that say that a ZO6 would do to a Cobra, or any of those other over rated supercharged mustangs? I guess you could say the real winner is the person who buys it, there are people out there that would wouldnt be caught dead in an underpowered ford, and those who would not be caught dead in a fiberglass bow-tie.

For all of you chevy fans, the cobra doesn't actually have 390 horsepower: it has around 420. Ford made it a modest number because of the cobra horsepower incident a few years ago. A stock cobra will run a 4.2-4.7 0-60 and around 12.5-12.9 in the quarter mile. It will beat a stock c5 and keep up with the Z06.

In the motortrend article the C5 convertable edged out a Cobra convertable.
The cobra coupe will out run a C5 coupe in the 1/4 and is only .1 seconds behind the ZO6. If you look at motortrend a few months earlier when they first started reviewing the cobra you will see that the 1/4 mile times were quicker than in the most recent issue. It was well in the 12's. Only in the new issue did it get 13's because that driver messed up the launch. He might be a professional driver but he definately messed up. These GM guys have chips on their shoulder because they are falling behind. The FORD GT will stomp a Z06 and a Viper in the 1/4 or on the track. |

Go to www.svtperformance.com and ask any of those '03 Cobra owners what they ran stock. |

this shouldnt even be a comparo. the cobra is no match for the zo6, i have a video of a zo6 taking out a ferrari 355F1 on a road course, the mustang would be off into the woods somehwere. stock zo6 will do a low twelve. ive heard of em doin 11.8s. some math will show a zo6 (3200lbs) and 406hp at the crank equates to a 114.5mph trap speed. is a 12.2, get a real 60 foot on some stickies and ur knockin on 11s door

I've heard of Z06's beating cobra's and I've heard of cobra's beating Z06's. I'm not saying that the cobra is better than the Z06, but it is just as fast! They both run low to mid 12s in the quarter and both are very good bangs for the buck! I think that is exciting to have a mustang finally compete with the corvette Z06.
