Just got all the most recent C&D, R&T etc and they list the 03 Cobra as 13.3 and the Standard Vette at 13.4. But it has also been witnessed that a factory stock Cobra has run times around 12.9 if not a tad better. Too many reporting to keep up. But MM&FF had one at a local track and with only swapping out the pulley for an OEM Lightning one they ran either 12.4 or 12.6.

The Z06 runs 12.2 OEM. Yeah you can mod either but the best bang for the buck goes to Ford. They won this round. Lets see what GM does. God I hope the GTO delivers. I also read that over the next few years the Vette will be moving to the Gev IV LSI from the Gen III LS1 and be at over 400 HP with the Z06 taking a hiatus from about 04-06 and then coming back even stronger.

But that still doesnt do anything for the 25-35K market area. GM needs to definately play catch up. To be honest I have only ever owned one Ford in my life and that was 18 years ago. The rest have been GMs. But that new Cobra is REAL tempting. I am holding out to see what the GTO produces and hoping that its some good numbers.
