Porsche Carrera GT - 612HP 445 Torque 3,045 lbs


2004 Shelby Cobra - 605HP 500 Torque 3,075 lbs


Which is faster? as in 1/4 and Track

 

For the dragstrip it would depend on gearing, traction and driver. For the track I'd go fo the superior chassis and suspension design of the Porsche (IMO)

 

The Shelby is just a concept, so any numbers would be just speculation.

I know the Porsche runs something like an 11 second quater mile. Even the Shelby would have a hard time with that.

As for the track, I would give it to Porsche because of the amazing chasis it has. For all I know, the Shelby could be faster, but I think it would hard for them to pull it off.

 

has anyone seen a commercial with a couple of country singer chicks driving in a hot convertible? i think it is a soda commercial, maybe dr. pepper. anyway the car is silverish with blue stripes from nose to tail.i was thinking that might be the new shelby cobra.

 

The Shelby Cobra Concept.

 

Ones a real (serois)car and the other is a pipe dream.

I know shelby has been around, but that porsche is incredibly well engineered, designed and actualy functioning.

I'm far from a porsche fan but the Carrera GT is an awsom car, probably the best supercar around, if to soulless.

The cobra has far to many wild claims and not enough real car. Arnt they claiming 260mph or something? thats unacheivable from that car as is.

 

Carrera GT, because it's Mid engine, the g-force from launching will push the rear wheels down firmly to the ground.

 

OK... That was Leanne Rimes.. and Reba Mcentire and a Vette

 

see the first time i saw it i thought vette but when i saw it the other day i thought it wasn't but i just couldn't firgure out what else it could be until i saw this thread. so any idea what year vette it is?

 

if that's a vette what kind is it? It looks sweet

anyways I would take the carrera

 

I could have sworn it was a shelby cobra... All i can remember about that commercial are the tailights. Look likes a late 90s or early 2000s cobra. click for more pictures HERE.....

Edit* After more research i came to the conclusion that it's a Shelby Series 1.

 

thanks for the link. i am convinced that the car in the commercial is just like the one in this pic:

 

Yes, the car in the commercial is the shelby series 1. I believe that car comes with a supercharger northstar V8 from GM and makes around 500hp.

 

im sorry but these shelby cars just suck, maybe they are good but i dont really see it

 

it's an oldsmobile aurora v8, NA. and that shelby will hand your *** in a platinum platter. next time you decide that some car sucks, think about the piece of **** your driving.

 

i dont have a car, so i dont have a piece of ****, and dont go crazy on me, im only 15

 

only 15, and going off on cars you have no idea about.....great.

 

There is no doubt whatever is marqueed "Shelby" is pretty badass. But, a buddy of mine had a Series One in his trim shop and though it obviously goes like hell, its fit and finish sucked. Especially for the price. I go Porsche.

 

Aurora, my mistake. I just new it was a GM motor. I do know however that there is a supercharged model because I have a Motortrend with a road test of a production Series 1 that was supercharged.

Oh, and here is a link from Shelby's web page about the supercharger when it was first released.

damn, supercharged series 1 would be pretty damn sweet.

 

The Shelby Series 1 comes with the 320 hp Aurora 4.0 L V-8 standard, you can order the Vortech supercharger package and that will up hp to 450 hp. Does mid 12's.

 

It's a Salen S7 in that commerical.

 

i dont think so

 

I could have sworn that I saw the Salen S7 in that commercial. I haven't seen it in over two weeks. Maybe I'm thinking the Mach3 advertisement. Disregard.

Edit: Just did a search on it and it is a vette. :D

 

The sheer aerodynamics of the Carrera GT should tell you right away which would be the winner.
