Like I said...someone who just purchased a Gt3 or a Z06 etc..etc. pulls up to a Cobra not knowing much about them and gets owned. How do you think they feel? OMG I just spent 80k + and lost to a fkn mustang. That must suck!!

Well if I was driving a GT3 and I lost to a cobra, I really wouldn't care because I know that at the first corner I would pull away from him and stay away from him.

How is it selling anything short? Those cars are in a completely different league and thankfully many of the owners are smart enough not to street race.

Nah, it's a fact. Corners>going straight

Yeah it might be a little bit true, but when your roads are like corner carving it makes you dream of going straight. I had to take my daughter on a school field trip yesterday. 15 - 20 miles of some of the most twisty, turning roads I have ever been on and very narrow. Just my .02 cents worth.

not nearly as much as most cobra owners would like them to get. then agin if you bought a cobra as a status symbol or are finding yourself looking for respect from more expensive cars because you beat them then really your prolly in it for the wrong reason.

the cobra is a great bang for the buck car and can be made fast and to corner well but its in a different playing field then things such as p cars and even the newer vettes. atleast thats my .02

The ultimate driver.... would be well rounded in both forms of racing.

You don't buy a cobra because you want people to eye **** your car.

You buy a cobra because what you know as a Ford fan about them and how they are built.

...and the high chance you'll smoke almost anything you'll find on your daily drive to work!
