ME vs. Mustang Cobra

Well, last night I was driving home from the mall with my girl and a kid in his 2001 cobra pulled up side me and revved his motor. I looked over at my girl and she said just do it already. In first gear we were about even and in second he pulled about a 1/2 a car on me. The is third he pulled another 1/2 a car and then we both shut down because there was a lot of cops out that night. I think he only had an exhaust but i never got to talk to him. i was not disappointed at all. I think my car did very well against 320hp. once I put that S/C on their it will be a different story.

Yeah I was a bit suprised. and your right with the 03 cobra. my buddy has one with the upgraded pulley, chip and exhaust that thing is crazy fast. he jumps 2 car lengths off the line and continues to pull on me. I would not have even wasted my gas on that thing. I initially thought that it was a GT because it was all debadged.

it's all good.

If I had spare money right now, my summer car would be 03 cobra (or the 07 cobra coming out). it is simply best bang for the buck.

Debadged cobras eh.. sneaky, sneaky.

I wonder which one of three will be best bang for the buck.


LS 400/400 (from corvette, now they are saying 450/450)
FR 450/450 (now they are saying 475/475)
Hemi 425/420 (from 300C SRT8)

Those cars will be heavy I'm hearing ~ 4000 pounds
