[QUOTE="Cobra03, post: 830184, member: 3428"] Because it is not a sports car. The Cobra is an $18,000 car (base price for a V6) with $15,000 worth of performance parts bolted on. A lightweight sports car chassis is very expensive to design and build. You cannot turn an economical four seater into a lightweight sports car, it has to be done from the gorund up. You cannot compare it to the Z06. The Z06 is designed and purpose built from the ground up to be lightweight. There is no $18,000 version of the Corvette. Why? Because the chassis alone probably costs nearly that. The Cobra will never compete in the weight category until is is seperated quite a bit further from the V6 Mustang. [/QUOTE]
