This is not a 2003 Cobra. It is a stock Mustang with an extra $20,000 put into it. Essentially, it was Cobrafied by Jack Roush instead of Ford. This car has performance comparable to that of the 2003 Cobra, so I was arguing based on the 2003 Cobra's performance. If that makes any sense at all.

I guess, its all good anyway. Both cars (vette cobra) have their highs and lows, plus their better than a riced out NOSS sucking import.

That's the way I see it. What's the difference, exactly, between a Z06 and a normal Corvette, anyway?

If someone offered you a zo6 or a cobra, who would take the cobra?

Better engine, better suspension, titanium Muffler, Shaved winshield, Magnesium rims, sticky tires, and some other stuff. It seems too work, 3.9 0-60 and 1.02 G's

Shaved windshield? Huh? And what's the difference in the engine? Just more horsepower out of the same mill, like GM likes to do? And yeah, that does seem to work.

To hear Chevy engineers tell it, wringing 20 more horses from the aluminum V-8 was far from rocket science. They installed a larger air-cleaner, a less-restrictive mass airflow sensor, and a higher-lift camshaft to pump more air through the engine. In addition, the intake-valve stems are now hollow (for lighter weight), and the exhaust-valve stems are filled with a liquid sodium alloy to aid cooling. Finally, exhaust back pressure was reduced by the removal of the small and restrictive catalytic converters that were mounted in the exhaust manifolds. New, more effective downstream cats allow the Z06 to meet NLEV standards. Horsepower increases to 405 hp at 6000 rpm, and torque goes up 15 pound-feet to 400 at 4800 rpm.
In the quarter-mile there's an even bigger difference. The new car did it in 12.4 seconds at 116 mph, whereas the 385-hp car needed 12.7 seconds to hit 113 mph. For an only five-percent increase in power, the new Z06 certainly extracts quite a bit. For the record, both

Hmm.... so basic hop-ups, applied effectively. Nothing wrong with that. Those are about the same as the numbers I've seen for the new Cobra. I'd love to have either one.

There's more, This upgrade to the LS6 engine’s output is the result of new hollow stem valves, a higher-lift camshaft, a low restriction mass air flow (MAF) sensor and a new low restriction air cleaner design. Eliminating the PUP converter from the exhaust system enables better flow of spent gasses and reduces vehicle weight, without compromising Corvette’s NLEV (National Low Emission Vehicle) status.
Suspension Upgrades
The Z06-specific FE4 High-Performance suspension system features a larger front stabilizer bar, a stiffer rear leaf spring and specific camber settings - all calibrated for maximum control during high-speed operation. The 2002 model year Z06 also has new rear shock valving for a more controlled ride. The foundation of Corvette’s agile handling is hydroformed frame rails. Its four-wheel independent front suspension features cast aluminum upper and lower A-arms. The Z06 and models equipped with the available Z51 package now have aluminum front stabilizer bar links fo

Shaving the winsheilds, saved about 10 pounds, it maked the interior louder, but who dosen't like the sound of a V-8

Oh, so the glass is thinner to save weight. I see. Good idea. If I know car companies, though, they charge you more for less glass. Personally, I think I'd get more stoked about the suspension mods than the engine work. And a four-wheel independent front suspension? That's certainly high-tech. I mean, most cars only have two-wheel front suspensions. ;-)

#35, That's the same latteral acceleration rating as the Z06 Corvette.
Nice looking 'Stang, but it needs 17 inch Torque Thrusts or Cragars.

I dunno, he sounds pretty smart with them, too, if you can ever figure out what he's trying to say.
