Cobra versus Z06

I had to put in my 2 cents worth!


Interesting Reading!

I just read their threads. Are the cobra's that close to a z. I though with driver's being equal the Z would win the 1/4??

Note on this thread.... We aren't talking about Mustang Cobras here. We are talking about the 427 Shelby Cobra GTs. Most of us will never have a chance to race one of these monsters. Stock to Stock in a straight line the Cobra would probably win in a race. Get it in the twisties though, and the Z should be able to leave it in the dust.

They're referring to the REAL Cobras guys. You know, the ones made by Carroll Shelby in the '60s and the fabricated cars made now by companies like Factory Five and Superformance. Those cars flat out haul.

Oh, those Cobras. In that case, I don't care if they do or not, as the comparison to those and Z06's are truly apples to oranges.

Whoops! Sorry!

Yep, stock 427 SC Cobra will whoop a stock Z06. No question there.

Sorry, its Monday and I'm a little punchy. Must go delete my embarrassing little post there. Ahem....

I have seen 2 of the Shelby's here in KC run at the track on 2 different occassions. They only run against each other though (think the owners are buddies)

I was kinda hoping next Spring to talk one of them into giving me a go, just for a change of pace. They were running low 11's or high 10's (I think) when I saw them.

Beautiful cars. Love the look and the sound of those babies!!

And here's another link that corroborates the 4.2sec 0-60 for the 427ci/425bhp Cobra.
