Cool 1996 Article Comparing Cobra vs. Camaro Z28 vs. Firebird WS6

[grandestang]

I found this article about 2 years ago when I started searching for more information about 96-98 Cobras. Its pretty cool because it shows how the Cobra did against the competition when Ford first debuted the 32V 4.6 in Cobra. I randomly stumbled across it again today and thought I'd share, you might of read it but if you haven't its definitley worth a look.

Be sure not to miss the "Sidebar Articles" below the introduction paragraph to get the whole story. Anyways here it is:

That's a very good description of the 4v. Feels alot slower than it actually is. It's too bad they didn't discuss more than just quarter mile times though. I'd like to see how they all stack up.

Good catch! I don't think I've read that issue yet so thanks, I'll hunt it down sometime at a swapmeet.

I have a zipped version of a similar Motor Trend comparison of the 98 Cobra and the LS-1 F-bodies if anyone's interested in that.

Bring on some more. I like reading what the magazines thought about these cars when they were new. Since I was only 15 when my car was made and not quite into cars yet I missed out on all the articles.

Monkeyspunk: The zip file says it's corrupt and cannot open.
