What is the average 1/4 mile times for a 99-2004 Gt and how does it compare to a 99/01 cobra times ? I mean is it really worth the diference, is it that noticeable of a diference ?
 
99+ GT's have hit 13.7. an average time would be a low low 14.

99/01 Cobras have seen 13.4's and an average of about 13.8. but the Cobras have an independent rear suspension that is harder to launch and takes away a little bit more hp than the solid axle. so the 13.4 vs 13.7 isn't the fairest of comparisions. my neighbor has a 99 Cobra and i think it is worth the extra money. the 4V engine has more power to start with and as you add mods to it, it will only gain more power than a 2V GT.
 
if youre asking cause youre looking to buy one, get a cobra and swap out the IRS and you'll have a solid base for a killer strip car.... if you have money and want a challenge, make a GT into a 9 second runner

You really have to look at the cost difference, 01 cobras are still going for $20k+ for good low milage ones. 01 GT's are $12-14k...

the times posted above are right on.
