You can try to "keep it real" all you want. The Cobra will own the base Corvette in performance. On the street, or at the track.

That being placed aside, the Cobra will NOT compete with the Corvette or Viper. Compete with refers to sales markets. As I previously stated, nobody who needs 4 seats will look at purchasing a Corvette or Viper. It's like saying the Metro competes with the Caravan.

The thing that I find the most funny about this small displacement bashing is how smaller displacement cars with power adders are held with respect in a lot of cases. There is no replacement for displacement is the old proverb. Yet the 5.0 has put many thundering old big blocks to shame. Handicapped in displacement, but with superior technology it proved itself. The 5.0 GT's competitors in some cases were forced induction turbo cars. A couple of those cars became extremely respected. The Toyota Supra TT, Buick Grand National, even the little Mitsu/Eagle Eclipse/Talon combo. Those little engined 6cyl and 4 bangers with just a few mods were making some of the big blocks of yesteryear look bad.
