We own '03 cobras

I don't like the front end, however, and it still has fake side scoops

 

No that would not make them comparable, because one is modified the other is not. What was sticker on a Camaro with all the options that come standard on a cobra? i bet it was not much more then a few thousand dollars difference. You can argue this for days, but in the end you're still gonna get by the cobra because a pulley swap and a full exhaust later he's making more power again. And when it's all said and done he's not gonna pop his motor after 30,000 miles. But it still all comes back to the fact that no '03 camaro even exists so you can't make the comparison anyhow.

 

Lets see a 03' SVT cobra Vs. a supercharged LS-1. End of contest. Who cares about the cost. The cobra still gets walked away from by the supercharged Ls-1, not that i don't give the Cobra credit for its nobilty. However its funny that Ford builds this after F-bodies fade away.

 

What do you people not understand about OUT OF THE BOX PERFORMANCE the ignorance in this thread sickens me.

 

Sorry, but wrong again because I have seen a test done with the new Cobra vs a standard Z28. The Z28 finished the whole road course less than 1 second slower than the Cobra - it was right behind him. What does that tell you? It tells you if the Z28 can compete with the Cobra, the Z06 will annihilate it. The Z06 will also run low 12s and even 11.9 on the dragstrip with DRs without touching anything else on the car. The Cobra has a harder time matching this even with it's blower, because it has 500 more pounds to lug around.

Price wise, the Mustang has it beat, and it's a good performer. But I still stand my ground in saying that it is not the best.

 

Considering that a NEW f-body is not available the '03 cobra IS the BEST bang for the buck. And 1 second in a road course is alot i'd like to see some solid numbers from the same source on the 3 cars.

 

This is why I think it is absurd to compare a Cobra to a z28. I drove my Z off the lot for $20,500 (GM discount and cash back). This car is no where near the price of an '03 Cobra. I think what has happened is that people forgot what a "pony car" is. They are low priced, high performance cars. An '03 Cobra, bang for the buck? You have to be kidding me!!! You clearly have more "bucks" than me. IMO to be a pony car someone like me (19 and busting my a$$ to make each payment) has to be able to buy one. I think that GM realized that there really is no market for the pony car so they got out.

When I run across one, I will race him, get my *** kicked, give him a thumbs up and say nice car. I won't feel bad about a car that is aproaching twice the cost of mine beating me. When I get beat by a GT, that is a different story, time for more mods.
Basically I think that the '03 Cobra is a bad ***, entry level, high dollar sports car and I would love to own one.

JMO tell me what you think

 

okay, for what it is, the 03 Cobra is a fast Mustang. With the SC and other tweaks, stock to stock, it'll beat a Camaro, go toe to toe with a Corvette (and perhaps beat it in the 1/4 mile), and make a Z06 work to beat the Cobra..

Besides the general look and feel in and outside, the suspension design still is way outdated (but doesn't stop it for putting out decent laptimes) compared to the Camaro..

Now if the next gen Mustang gets a redesigned suspension and keeps the power with less weight, Ford's got a definant winner on its hands..

 

this has been beat to death..

do a search.
