IIRC not as fast, but plenty capable. (And it apparently does not have the problem of the blades coming through the cabin ...)
@SASless: IIRC, the Marines flew three (J, T, W) Cobra variants variations (twin engine) before the recent Z model (Viper) made a big change in what a Cobra is. Not sure if there was a single engine model mixed in there in the dim and distant past.
