Stock for stock the Cobra will eat up a 370. The problem is, very rarely are you going to run into a stock one. A few hundred bucks for a pulley and tune and you're dealing with a 475whp Cobra.

And if you're really unlucky, you'll run into one of the KB monsters pushing anywhere from 600-900whp.
so your saying these cobras are a excellent value? i know you can get hp out of the cobras easily, being a v8 with a conservitive tune from the factory, should be much easier to get the cobra to go fast then compared to the 370z, right? have you actually driven a cobra?

They are great cars. I do believe they are a great value. They still go for $25-30k.

Let's just say I've driven my fair share of Mustangs.
