    I weigh 185 after I made you a little baby brother in the porta-john... For all that's done to my car and how it's
    modded I'd say that there are a lot more Cobras with similar or a little more power than me that are a lot slower.

    I'm new.. don't post much but read a lot. This gentleman is an entertaining thread. Personally I think both vehicles are quite respectable in their own way. You gotta appreciate 2 solid runs and the time slips tale the tail. There's no shame with either, both of you guys made some great times. I am sure better than I could do. I have the shitty 1st to second grind in my GT500, I only race from a roll. I remember back in the day when low 14's and a good trap was impressive for most street cars.

    1986, that was a decent number if you drove it in raced and drive it home. Of course back then we kept a wrench, timing light and some feeler gauges to re-set the points of a muscle car. When you went to Keystone you kept the tank low for weight, pedal to the floor and had a good times. Run through the traps with the valves floating.

    The only car that ever gave me any shifting problems was the 08 gt500 with it's shit-tastic gear grinding worthless tr6060. I would put my launching and powershifting skills in any of my previous stick cars against yours cupcake. I didn't buy an auto because I can't shift, I bought it because it's better. If you chose to row your own gears more power to ya. It's fun. However, my work destroyed knees didn't find sitting in traffic endlessly working a heavy clutch pedal all that great. The auto's of today aren't the auto's of yesterday. The zl1 with auto is faster 0-60 (3.9 vs 4.0) faster 1/4 mile (12.0 vs 12.1)and faster top speed (184 vs 180). numbers all per gm. So you can keep beating the auto sucks dead horse all you want, I wouldn't trade mine for anything. Now there's plenty you can bag on with the zl1, there's plenty I bag on, but no buyers remorse for me on the transmission.

    EDIT: this is directed at Greg of course, not Bob. I like Bob, even though you gave a point back to greg
