There is always 2 sides to every story on the other guy not wanting to race. The entire scenerio has to be right. Maybe the other guy saw something that looked like a cop car. Maybe there was traffic. Maybe his girlfriend/boyfriend(can't believe that) would string them up for racing. Maybe the area is heavily patrolled. Who knows. Mustang people will generally race anything from what I've seen.
Anyway, I don't know where you got the idea we think the LS1 is slower than a stock GT or Cobra. I would say they are pretty on par stock for stock with the Cobra, maybe a tenth or two quicker, and as for the GT, it's about 3-4 tenths lagging. Those are with everything else being equal, which they almost never are. A stock Cobra or GT can certainly waste an LS1, if the LS1 owner can't drive and the Mustang owner can.
