i dont think pontiac is trying to compete with the cobra. Go sit and drive a GTO, and then do the same to a cobra and you'll find out where Pontiac's priorities are present

youre correct.

though theyre both v8 RWD and thats where the similarities end.

 

[2004SVTSTNG]

03 Cobra = 12.9 (http://www.fast-autos.net/ford/03fordcobra.html)
04 Cobra = 12.6 (http://www.fast-autos.net/ford/fordmystichrome.html)

Those are factory ratings.

How many 03 Cobras have you heard of going 12.4 bone stock? For that matter, how many 03 Cobras hafve you heard of going 12.6 bone stock?

The only difference betweena 2003 Cobra and 2004 are a few colors and a $900.00 chrome wheel upgrade option. First run 2003 Cobras are actually faster because they have a different ECU program and actually dynoed more than any other Cobra run. 2003 Cobras have gone 12.40's stock per Mustang's and Fast Fords.

FYI, SVT never advertised any quater mile results since 2001. Sounds like you want to believe your 2004 is better than a 2003, you just have darker seats.

The chrome wheels were available in 2003 as well...

He has a '96 Cobra oke: About the seats; the suede option for 2003 was either light gray or parchment and in 2004 it was light gray or dark charcoal. You could get the gray in either '03 OR '04

 

[RealQuick]

You've only got 311 to the wheels which is nothing to brag about.

And you have ~250...

I wonder if the 07 GTO's will hang with the 07 Cobras, since it obviously takes Pontiac more then a year to get their car to "hang" with the performance of a SVT. (04 vs 04 = rape) op:

Thats funny, how long did it take for the stangs to catch up to the fbodies?? Interesting huh.

"You are right sorry".

The term "catch up" doesn't quite cut it. "Far surpassed" fits a little better :rockon: F-bodies are dead now anyways, who really cares :shrug:

BTW, the answer is about the same amount of time it took the 3rd gen. f-bodies to catch up to the fox body mustangs :whine:

I think third gen TTAs kept up just fine. ;-)

ya TTA's will do mid to low 13's bone stock

Yea, one of 1,555 in 1989... GTA with a GN motor in it (w/ different Buick heads to clear the strut towers). Real original


PS: used to own a GN ;-)

Sorry but you didn't say anything about stock vs stock in your previous post that I quoted.

As for Neons beating Z06, so what? Don't care because at end of the day, I'll have Z06 parked in my garage.

yea but the neon guy can say " he paid how much more to go slower?"

 

[GotGrunt]

yea but the neon guy can say " he paid how much more to go slower?"

The same thing can be said by the owner of a yugo with a jet engine strapped to it. Who cares, lol. Retarded arguement. Z06 > Neon, in EVERY aspect, hands down...

 

[drdome99]

yea but they drive neons/yugos they dont care about looks the care about power/speed

 

[GotGrunt]

:lol: :lol: :lol:


Power/Speed and Neon should never be used in the same sentence :uh oh:

 

[drdome99]

lol true, but you know what i mean, they put $30,000 into the "neon" when they could have bought something nice looking

 

[Phantom]

a '05 GTO vs. a stock '03/'04 would be a drivers race in the standing 1/4, with a edge to the cobra, but it would be close

CRACK KILLS!!!!!!!!! :lol:

Maybe, I test drove a pontiac GTO before i got my cobra and let me tell you what for being all motor and no blower, that car is sick! I think if it had a eaton blower or any kind it would take a cobra but then again their in two different playing fields but for real its a awesome car and the interior of the GTO is unmatched! YEAHHHHHHHHH
