    Default 03 cobra vs. S2k who would handle better around a track.

    What car handles better? Who would put up better times with the same driver.
    Sicstang and I have been arguing this point. Especially if the track doesn't have long straights.

    depends on which gen cobra.. but id go with the cobra. you put the stig in a cobra, and the s2k..i can see the cobra doing better times with the extra power, especially being controlled by a pro.

    the new camaro did it in 8.20. And im sure the new ss is a much better handling car than the 03-04 cobra. I think it would be close but id put my hat on the s2k. I actually drop a 03 s2k yesterday and was very disappointed with the handling...

    The cobra is probably faster around a track, but the s2000 would be more fun.

    i would say the 03-04 cobr for sure. they were built with the track in mind. The cobra is the only stang that came with IRS. i would think the race wuld be close if the track was mostly turns and few straits.

    ... Guys, seriously?

    Its so funny that people think the Cobra can't handle, when in fact, it out handles a 350z..

    What does a s2000 run around Road Atlanta? A ~1:45? The Cobra does much better..

    I'd say S2000 handles better, however the Cobra would beat it around a track since it doesn't handle much worse but has a shitload more power.

    in fact, i was just stating the s2k's time. However i voted s2k based on a cobra vs a s2k cr. But I could be wrong, I'd still rather drive a 03/04 cobra than the honda. Or your porsche

    COBRA would win hands down. Difference is handling is negligible, difference in power is astronomical.

    Many people will think the S2k because it would simply be more flued to drive but then they forget 03-04 Cobra's have a 6 speed and IRS too.

    This is not how i expected this thread to go at all lol. Most people think cobras cant handle for shit because 95% of the owners are into strait lines, but the ones ive seen that have been on road courses have done very well for what they are. I would have guessed s2000 though for a race with little to no strait aways lmao.

    The Camaro SS is a tank.. that thing would handle like a tank..

    The Cobra would be faster by far around a track it has double the horsepower and that will definitely make up for any shortcomings when it comes to handling.

    (However, if you want to beat both you'd be driving a E92 M3) :P

    So general opinions/thoughts always out weight the facts? With statements like this I can see how Obama made it in office.

    not sure imho as depending on the track i think either way but i do like how both sides are so confident(more so the cobra fans) but yet no one is showing straight evidence of a s2k vs cobra actually going head to head lol!

    Cobra would take a dump on the s2k in any track. what at stupid question. Rice boy with the s2k needs to lose his pride. you have an underpowered honda. it's not hard to make a 120 horsepower car turn.
