bmarcinczyk14 · 09-01-2009, 11:12 PM

what would win in a 0 to 60 and 1/4 mile race? anyone have any experience with a 2003 or 2004 cobra?

You again...

Cobra would rape us. The Terminators are downright NASTY.

Raced one tonight and it didn't rape me in the least, dead even from 5 mph roll.

Is this a serious question? The Terminator would rape your car while you watched helplessly. A week later, you'd find out you have car herpes.

i dont think it would rape it, considering the 0 to 60 times are very similar, and 1/4 mile times, the 370z is like .3 to .4 seconds off.

Drivers race if you ask me. But since Z is more of a RoadCourse car and Cobras are drag friendly, I'd say Mustang Cobra.

Based on that...the 370Z auto would stand a chance if not beat it. As others said, this isn't a drag car...put it on a road course and it will really do some damage.

dude, a auto 370z would beat it but the manual wont? i dont think theres enough of a difference between the auto and manual, if the auto will beat it im sure the manual will as well as long as the driver is good.

It doesn't matter what transmission or who is behind the wheel of the 370Z, it will loose.

Um...I never said the manual would not... As I said, based on the numbers posted for the mustang VS numbers posted for the auto Z...it would be a very close race.

Again...different drivers could change those numbers so I'm not saying the auto would always be faster than a manual.

All that being said...the amount of parts available and potential...I wouldn't claim the Z to be beating up on the mustangs...the right mods do make those cars pretty fast. Stock VS Stock...the race would be close with either one having the chance to beat the other.

You do know why they call them Terminators right?

Now if you decided to toss him some corners the a$$ handing would be the other way around

The Cobras are NOT drag friendly. They have IRS with pretty bad wheel hop when stock... but driven right they are good for easy 12 second passes at 110+. Don't let mag times fool you.

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.

Guess I've been lucky everytime.

Exactly. I was reading a Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords magazine and one owner actually managed a 10 second pass on the stock blower without nitrous.
