[QUOTE="tt335ci03cobra, post: 14441067, member: 68944"] Also, so many people are here spouting performance numbers based of preliminary magazine times to deny handling improvements and no one here apart from one person has driven it yet. Handling and performance are not the same. A miata out handles a corvette everyday of the week. It's slow as sh*t but it's more telepathic to drive fast. That one person says it's much better than the 14 car but every tom dick and Harry in here saying it isn't claims they are right because they just "know they are" or whatever crap logic. I'll trust the droves of reviewers who say it absolutely and fundamentally revamps the mustang name and completely ditches the stereotypical mustang handling issues. For the same reason I never bought a mustang after my 03, the lack of an irs, I can happily say I'm apt and eager to buy one now as it clearly can finally handle. I spent years getting my 03 cobra to the point where I absolutely love it, but from day one, it handled leagues better than friends sra mustangs and camaros and without the vette tax which is why I bought it vs a c5 z06. Now, another quick point, prices to value are at all time bests. An 03 cobra was $32-36,000 in 2003/4. It had a spartan interior, 400hp, and handled pretty good for the time. Today for $36,500 you can get a track gt with recarro's, 430hp, excellent handling, a much longer warrenty, and leagues more refinement, better mpg, interior, etc. Hell, a damn v6 mustang at $24,750 or so has about as much power as a $24,000 1996-98 mustang cobra had. Anyone arguing the price is too high needs to get it together. A loaded gt at $45,000 is maybe two away from m3 territory in terms of refinement, features, options, and performance. An m3 is $75,000 the way you'd wanna compare it to that $45,000 mustang. Let's not forget one road and track editor said he'd take the mustang gt over an m235i any day. Explain that as a fail bozo's. End rant. Oh lastly, sra is not gods gift to killing wheel hop. A stock 79-04 sra will wheel hop like a donky cart on a back road until you install a bunch of parts on it. The 03/4 irs is more capable than a stock 79-04 sra and has less wheel hop stock vs stock. A built sra out launches a stock irs, want a cookie? A built irs can handle 1.3x 60' foots and has done so in 03 cobras to boot. Big difference is an irs doesn't handle poorly or tie up the rear leading to excessive bucking while limit handling or breaking. [/QUOTE]
