Doug, they say that necessity is the mother of invention. Well the UK and Aussie guys are way ahead of us in the mod motor/modern motor installs on these cars, especially in Cobras, because of their strict emissions requirements. I've read a couple threads here of LS7's in a Cobra.
Think about that for a moment. A stock LS7 in a Z06 is rated at 505HP. That car weighs around 3,100lbs without driver and in stock form on stock GY radials (and with enough practice) can click easy high 11's in the 1/4 mile. High 11's on street tires, and I know at least 3 owners that have gone mid 11's! Add drag radials and some have posted 10.9x times on a stock drivetrain.
Now take that same powerplant and subtract 500-600 pounds in a Cobra? Scary fast and super reliable. Doesn't look as period correct (only when you lift the hood), and may not sound the same, but it will still spank you (if you can get it to hook)!
