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

[SicStang03]

The original question is kind of a dumb one (no offense intended) because it asks which car handles better around a track. This would mean, which car is faster ONLY through the turns in a track. The question should be, which car is faster on a track, which car is a better handling car, or which car is more nimble, etc.

Obviously the S2000 is more nimble, no getting around that. The Cobra has much more power, so it doesn't take a smart person to figure that out.

They are two completely different kinds of cars, built for completely different reasons. This is like comparing an apple to an orange here.

I voted S2000 because I used to have one and it was very fast (200 pounds reduced, 400HP/285TQ) And I've ridden in Mustangs and they feel like you're riding in a boat (I just like small, nimble cars better but it's my personal choice).

You've never ridden in a 03/04 cobra

Well for handling in most cases just go with the lighter car, in this case the S2000. The cobra's IRS isn't a great system from what I've heard and other than being able to house super wide tires, I see no handling advantages for the cobra. They're just too heavy. So I say S2K. But the pol/thread is worded weird. I assume you JUSt mean tha handling part, not how would they "handle a track". So if the question is about lap times in general, then I say it depends on how tight the course is, but pure handling alone, S2k, overall, Cobra has mad power.

Most ignorant statement of this thread ... I realize everyone has an opinion but you are basing this off what you heard? At the strip, yes, it is a poor platform if you are running street tires... but still 31 spline axels that have gotten many people well into the 10's and even 9's... No handling advantages? lol on the skidpad the s2k wins by .04... the cobra pwns at high speed slalom... The 1 second the s2k might pull in a tight corner will be shut down 15ft later

The poll is worded weird but the argument we had was that his car would beat mine at a track... stock for stock the cobra would still win... I would stop for lunch in the middle of the race and still win in my car :boobies:
