[QUOTE="Lstruck03, post: 9915554, member: 65191"] For those intersted.. I decided to test drive a new 5.0 today, to help me decide to get one, or keep the Cobra.... It was Ingot Silver (not my first choice, but damn nice color) preminum with black leather, and 3.55 gear option.. In comparison to the Cobra, it is a much nicer and more solid car. The car had an awesome road feel. Some road noise, but a very tolerable level. My only complaint is that it is too quiet! Even with the "sound tube" into the cab.. It needs exhaust, bad. It handled and braked quite well for the factory setup. Stock brakes (no brembo) and had the base 18" wheels. The suspension did feel nice and tight though.. the '11 comes with the same parts that were an upgrade on the '10, called the track pack (for those who didn't know). Also, I really liked the feel of the clutch and shifter. Firm enough to easily feel the engagement, but soft enough to shift very quickly. It actually surprised me with it's power. Was it blistering fast? No. The Cobra would eat it alive. However, the power was always on tap, even coming out of a turn at low rpm's, the power band vas very fluid, and kept building in the upper rpm's. I took it to 6500 in 1-3, and the power never dropped off. The gears in the trans really help the car move.. after every shift, it was right back in it's power band.. felt great... And with my employee discount, along with the $1k rebate ford has, the car is very affordable.. I recommend driving one to anyone that has not! So now my decision is even harder.. '03 Cobra or '11 Gt .. I just dont know! [/QUOTE]
