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

[Elbow]

The S2K would easily out handle the SVT Cobra stock for stock. As a matter of fact the S2K is in the A stock class in SCCA while the SVT Cobra is in F stock. Obviously the real racers say they dont handle anywhere near the S2K stock for stock. That being said, I have seen some mustangs with a little suspension work put down some serious g's. But then, thats not stock lol

Heres some others in the F stock class with the Cobra(I thought this was funny)

Autocross...compares to NOTHING in the automotive world lol.

But it does tell which car is more nimble and has better HANDLING. What is so hard to understand here?

Give the S2000 equal power and it will RAPE the Cobra even on a road course. Or, take the supercharger off the Cobra and let it run like it's a GT. Again, the S2000 will DESTROY the Cobra. Why? Because the S2000 is the better handling car. The ONLY reason people are saying the Cobra will beat an S2000 is because it has 200 more horsepower. And this thread isn't about which car has more power or will post better times, it's about handling.

I can't believe people are still talking about this.

I don't think so, because the Cobra will still own it in the torque department. Also, the original question was which car would post better times around a track. The poll question was worded differently to be about handling. People are saying that a Cobra would win not only because of the huge power difference, but also the small handling difference between the two.

You do realize you aren't actually disagreeing with Justin, right? You are actually saying the same thing he is saying, but explaining the opposite side of the coin.
... just thought you might need to know that.
Bottom line- this poll sucks and the thread should be locked for the aforementioned reasons of being poorly worded and demonstratively argumentative.

then find a better unbiased comparison instead of saying its true because you saw it lol

My last statement still stands

Autocross is a TOTALLY different game then road racing, almost nothing can even be transferred over between the two. I always see autocross drivers SUCK at road racing and road racing drivers SUCK at autocross. It's a different mindset.

I said stock for stock autocross the S2K would win, for sure. No doubt in my mind. If slicks are on both cars, it would be a good one. This also depends on the course obviously. If it's tight then the S2K would murder, the Cobra has decent suspension, but power is what would allow it to be quick. I mean Corvettes set the fastest time of the day a LOT. I know totally different car, but they aren't exactly nimble.

I never even really brought up autocross, I was speaking of a road course.
