03' Cobra and 03' Lightning?

[MRigney]

Has any body seen any performance numbers for the 03 Lightning. I assume that it would be the same as the 02 and 01 model. I believe they have the same engine. I could be wrong. Please post some performance numbers.

I am just curious how fast a lightning really is and if it can keep up with a 03 cobra.

Post some specs.

No, it cant. 1005 pnds keeps that from happening. My bro has an 02. 01 had a 20hp boost and 10 pnds torque, addition of aluminum driveshaft and a jump in rear gear to 3.73.

SVT site says 0 to 60 in 5.8.

Edmunds says 1/4 in 14.1.

Motorweek says 5.4 and 13.9.

Motoweek says Cobra does 5.1 and 13.4.

50th Aniv Vette does 4.9 and 13.4.
