[QUOTE="Corbic, post: 15712045, member: 171475"] And that’s fine. I just don’t see the point. Cobra for the last 40 years have been about improving handling and performance in a balanced package. The Terminator broke that mold and gave us a monster. A Forged Short-block Supercharged DOHC V8, T56 and IRS. It was not a drag car, but just an awesome beast head and shoulders better then the rest. The early S197 GT500 sucked balls. It was a giant dick stroke to the old farts buying Carol Shelby toilet paper. Barely 100hp more, more weight, and one seriously ugly car. The 14/15 fixed that with the Trinity, another awesome freaking motor. I don’t want some one-trick BS Hellcat knock off. Making 25hp more then the Hellcat or offering some M/T Tires is stupid and a waste of time and money. Just buy a A6 GT and slap on a Roush S/C if that’s all you want. Having AWD is going to give you a performance advantage that no GT or rolling chassis builder is going to be able to replicate. It’s going to launch harder on the street and strip and it’s going to hold traction when running max effort mils runs or racing in Mexico. Seriously, what are you guys expecting? A 5.2L 800hp GT500 with A10, Yawwwnnzzz [/QUOTE]
