#1 The Cobra's were underrated.
#2 The Cobra's had the worst computer on the entire planet.
#3 The Cobra cam is marginally better than the stock HO cam, nothing worth noting, most of it's elevated profile comes from the 1.7 rollers rockers.
#4 It's exhaust is too restrictive.
Basically, if you junk the computer, replace the MAF, swap in a decent cam, throw exhaust and gears on, you run really low 13's.
Do that to a GT, you run really high 13's. The difference in the cars only gets more pronounced with mods that balance the equation on the Cobra. From almost a half second faster in factory form, to almost a full second faster with well under $1500 invested equally on both cars.
