I side with Jason on this one but the truth is you never know how crappy the other driver is or the true condition of the car, so if somebody can run anywhere near low 14's it's possible to beat a 96-98 Cobra, just not mine or Jason's.

I have driven a 99GT and was impressed with the torque but it just doesn't have the upper end balls of the DOHC Cobra, especially with gears. My car is far from stock but it isn't that modded either. I have never seen a 99/00 Gt come close to me. BUT I have dusted some 96-98 Cobras too and wondered what was wrong with their cars when I would beat them so badly. The fact is, some people can't drive and some people have fast cars out of the box but to generalize about the Cobra being slower than the GT is downright silly.. I'm kidding around here but you get the idea.

Jason, one time we got to meet up and put our Snakes against each other bro.

Excellent ET and trap speed.
