let me ask all the sn-95 cobra owners, do you ever get stupid questions from the majority of the people who ask you bout your car? the number one for me is this, is that cobra supercharged? i mean come on the 03/04 cobras came supercharged thats it. unless you count the 1980 cobra which was a turbo charged 4cyl! useless post i know, i was just curious:poke:

I know that a lot of people don't know these cars like we do but I get bothered when people ask me if it's an auto or stick...

I get these questions alot. I once had someone try to convice me my car had a supercharger on it. I have also gotten the "auto/stick" question, "is it a v6 or v8" and "does it come stock with dual exhaust".
When I was running an o/r x (you guys know how it smells) some guy told me that I needed my carburetor fixed. :bash:

I have heard the supercharger question only once.
The most common one for me is, "Is it a real SVT Cobra"
I just laugh and say, "no it's a V6, I just stuck the emblems on and put 335's on back to intimidate people. Wanna race me in your Honda?"

ok here's another, has anybody else raced someone spanked their ass, only to have them tell you that they lost because your supercharged, then watch their jaw drop when you tell them your n/a.

I like to argue with those people. I tell them I prefer the hp/mpg combo I have now, and any mods would upset the balance.

I get the stick/auto question every single time someone looks at my car. Half the people i've talked to about it tell me they just assume it's fake until i pop the hood and they see the cobra on the upper intake, so i only hear the "is it real?" question every so often. I'm lucky enough to never have to really deal with the v6/v8 thing. A few times, but not enough to remember a specific time.

When I use to drive my car people would ask me some retarded stuff...
Mostly stuff like..."Dude can that beat a "03" One day, I shit you not a guy pulled up next to me and asked me if it was one of those "New Cobras" I said "What a Gt500" he said said "yeah" I said "Ummm no this is a '98"

I get asked if it is fake since I have 'Mustang' on the front. I tell them..."Yea I spend all this money on cobra brakes, transmission, interior, exterior, engine, but I couldn't afford a cobra bumper."

I find myself giving vague answers more often because of the dumb founded looks on peoples faces when you start gear head talk..

Am I the only person here that doesnt expect people to know everything about cobras?

I dont want to start anything but some of you seem to act like d-bags when some one asks a simple question.

I get asked often if its real or not, and I tell them it is, and fill them in on some basic facts. I dont expect the average 'non-ethusiast' person to know anything about the car really, since at a glance the car looks similar to any other mustang of the same body style.


What I do hate is when people come at me insisting they know something about the car that I clearly know is not true, even after I try to correct them.

But if its simple like 'is it real' or 'is it auto or stick' or 'is it supercharged' or questions along those lines, I just answer without being a d*ck about it.

I get asked a bunch of times, but its not like its common knowledge, so I dont give them any heat about it.

Thank You. I like when people ask me questions about my car. Enlighten them about the Cobras. Be proud that you owen somthing that others don't have.
