82GT is right about the Cobra needing gears but I think it is more important to know how to drive the Cobra. If I remember when my car was stock and its been awhile since then, to get to 70 all you needed was 1st and 2nd gear, saving you the shift to 3rd I need now with my 3.73's.

The point is I've driven both cars stock and know that the cars are pretty damn near even on paper but that isn't the case if you know how to drive these cars. If you rev the DOHC to redline on those first two shifts, the torquey feeling, GT should be the loser here. Not by much but still behind 1 to 2 cars, despite the crappy gears in the Cobra.
