Just by specs it says the Mustang Cobra would win. Almost one second faster in the 0-60 mph mark. So the majority of people voted were wrong lol.
^I do beleive this is around a track, not down a track... that's just too easy
well damn..... f'in fail
true, but numbers would have caused a whole big fun argument. what was done to the '00 GT?
True but I say the stang will still win w/ the proper suspension setup and tires.
He said he doesn't own either... but has driven both
I don't care what the damn poll says. The discussion came up when we were in my car and took a turn. I'm 110% sure I would win on any track... autcross is another story but would still be interesting.
We will revive the thread next year with results...
At the time it was just Springs and an alignment

Ill bet you 100 bucks I can get your G35 down to 1:10...maybe 1:09 on decent street tires
s2k forsure. Mustangs are lame
^^the nail in the cofin
no need to take the bet i know i drop it if i pushed through turn 1. but that whole self preservation thing comes up. but i still call BS on the 1:09 1:10 in a otherwise stock 00 GT mustang. when ive seen modified 996 TT run 1:08s. was this on the old track or the new track?

damn you can get a stock cobra down to a 1:07?? Sounds like you should have bought that instead of a STi
yeah because the brakes on the mustang are ment for road racing. i know the cobra brakes dont last at all at little tally... like maybe 5 mins a spirited driving. let alone all out. and the GT brakes are smaller...sooo loldamn you can get a stock cobra down to a 1:07?? Sounds like you should have bought that instead of a STi

Are we all talking about bone stock cars ? I sure hope so, because there are some idiotic comments posted up on this page if we aren't.
Listen JR I've got no dog in this fight so theres no need to call BS....If I said I ran that time then I did. There are plenty of people that have seen me run sub 1:05 and a lot of people on this board saw me run a 1:05 in Dougs STI. I know Little Tally inside out and Backwards and if all someone in a 996tt can run is a 1:08 then they suck and thats all there is to it. When I ran that time in Dougs STI all it had done was a stage 2 flash and some coilovers. If it had of been my car I could have gotten it into the 1:04s. I don't play around and occasionally go to the track like a lot of people here....I basically live there.
As far as brakes go, they only have to be good for one lap.
talk about handle S2000 would be best.
TeamVirus
we need 2 stigs an s2k ,and a mustang !
Handle, as in slalom speed, lateral grip, steering feel, neutral balance? S2000. Fastest around a track? Cobra, it has a huge power difference and its handling isn't bad,. But the question was "handle better", not "win in a race".
lol
dont forget 285's. You made double the power and a lot more tire and were only 3 seconds faster. 285>225 anyday
jeez y was this thread bumped
crap im guilty of it too now
LOL...double the power, how much power do you think a stock turbo sti makes. Ill give you the 285s though it did have a lot of grip
I just can't believe this thread is still going.. I leave IA for couple months and I come back to this.. Rice boys comparing a s2k to a cobra! LOL IA is full of rice boys..
I would put my money on the cobra, I just sold my 04 cobra 8 months ago and they DO handle ALOT better than what people give them credit for. Plus the extra power it has over the s2k would just be to much for the s2k, and thats assuming that the cobra isnt pullied. Its hard to find a Terminator with the stock blower pulley now-a-days!
YAY!the thread is still going strong lol!
no more bumps till we get our own track proof
Depends on the track, and the length of the straights. In the turns the S2K should kill the cobra because of it's 50/50 weight distribution. We had a new Mustang GT at one of our S2000 track days, and it couldn't even hang with stock miatas. Not even close. I realize there is a little HP in the GT and Cobra, but HP is not everything. You have to think about HP to weight ratio.
LOL, thats what I was thinking! you really cant even compare the two as far as power goes. that cobra is no joke, i dont know why alot of these honda fanboys be sleeping on that ish. cobra > s2k all day.
weight distribution means nothing. and your new mustang GT driver was new to the car. you cant compare vehicles with different drivers. unless you compare the vehicle and the driver.

"Nitrous is like a hot girl with STDS, you know you want to hit it but your afraid of the consequences."
Weight distribution means nothing? LMFAO WOW....
seeing as a s2k has a 50/50 and a 04 cobra has 53/47 and the new mustang has also 50/50. weight distribution is null in this argument.
The G Spot Hero
"Nitrous is like a hot girl with STDS, you know you want to hit it but your afraid of the consequences."
53/47 is not as close to 50/50 as it looks on paper. That said, cobra would win on most tracks.

my G is 53/47 350z are 53/47. they handle just fine. many performance cars are slight nose heavy to help in braking and turning. and when they accelerate weight transfers to the rear getting it to the 50/50 that everyone craves.

I'm not saying that front-biased can't handle, but really most performance cars try to have 50/50 with even higher performance cars leaning more towards 40/60 ish. You just don't want too much weight on the front when diving in to a turn, unless you like understeering.
2007 PORSCHE 911 GT3: 38/62
Ferrari Enzo: 43.9/56.1
Pagani Zonda: 47/53
you get the idea
BTW where the hell you been man?

but you're comparing mid/rear engine vehicles to front engine vehicles now
