Personally I feel very fortunate to have a real Cobra, but does it bug any of you guys when people try to pass their mustangs off as cobras?

A friend of mine has a 97 gt and over the summer he put on a rr hood, cobra front bumper and cobra rear bumper. He also put cobra badges on it.....

What do you guys think?

Sort of makes me angry, but ive done it before. I knew i was getting a cobra shortly so i put some shit on my v6 (looked almost exactly like my cobra). I never raced anybody tho, for fear they would believe they could beat a cobra. I always remembered their cars when they tried to race me in v6, so when i see them in the real cobra, they still think its a 6! Boy are they surprised...but back to the topic, i dont like when people do it.

I am a firm believer of the statement "I am what I am" Sure you can dress it up to look it but dont try to say you are one. I drive a GT and I shutdown alot of Cobras(pre 03), saleens(na of course)

Its like seeing a Honda with type R stickers... its just as evil...

Before I got the SVT , I had a Bullitt and it was the same story. Guys on EBAY selling shit that you knew was just bogus, etc.. So unless there is some scamming going on, I say just grin and bear it!

An SVT Cobra is a true Cobra...Just because Caroll isn't aboard anymore doesn't mean it isn't.So by what you are saying,should Ferrari rename now that Enzo passed away...?:shrug:

So what ur sayin is that I wont be cool if i put my Cobra snake fender emblems in place of the type R emblem on my car??? Bummer.

An even better one than that is when the idiots put like 2 left side or 2 right side snake emblems on their car so one is facing the wrong way. I just have to laugh. I mean if you are faking at least actually try to make it look right. :lol: :lol:




Kind of on the subject...Anyone ever noticed the GT-R emblems on the wall rack when you go into an AutoZone. Man would i have to kick some kids ass if the bought one of those. Of course a FORMER friend actually riced the hell out of his V-6 stang and put a GT-R emblem on the back where GT would normally go. Man first time iseen that i was LMFAO :lol: :lol: :lol:

There was a guy who'd go to a bunch of shows I went to in southern california when I was stationed there. It was a white 95 gt that was made up like a cobra with the license plate FAKSNAKE. His car was simply amazing and he was totally cool about it. People who do it right don't bother me as much as those people who do a half a#@ job and are a@#es about it. But no matter how much they do to their v-6 or gt, in the end I still have a REAL Cobra and Lightning.
