lol. I think y'all are riding those nuts a little hard. Lemon thinks he knows what he's talking about, but I don't think the he's ever even been in a 03/04 Cobra the way he talks about them. He basically calls them slow for their HP, and then when you call him out on it he counters with "well they can be fast, but from my experiance da, da, da." Its pretty funny really. Sure their not the end all to fast cars, or the greatest performance cars ever made, but there's a reason that they've built the rep that they have, and its because their pretty damn good at what they do.
Lets just be honest with ourselves here a Terminator is a better performance car than a GTO. Period, it is, and if you say otherwise your in denial or your ignorant. I've been in both stock, I've been in both mod, I've drive both and honestly Terminator > GTO for performance. So no he's not being fair minded here because if he was he would just man up and admit to that fact. Sure you could do this to the GTO and go beat a Cobra, but stock for stock, mod for mod, dollar for dollar the Cobra is a faster car. You can do this or that to a Cobra and go beat a ZO6, but that doesn't make Cobra's better performance cars than ZO6's. Seriously admit it. I have no problem admitting to certain cars being better than Mustang Cobra's. A base model Vette is no dout a better Performance car than a Terminator, and even though I wouldn't trade my car for one I don't have a problem admitting to that.
Don't get me wrong I like GTO's. They are very nice cars and have plenty of potential. I love the seats, I love the steeringwheel, the shifter location, just the interior in general, and the cars modern refinement compared to Fbodies and pre-05 Mustangs. I was impressed with the stock LS2 compared to a stock LS1, but still a Terminator is a better performance car, particularly when you start with the modding.
On another note this thread reminded me of a video I saw posted a coupe years ago. This is Country's car. Its a pulley, CB, CAI Cobra, and I think the GTO is stock so of course it should of lost, but the way it did, and the reaction from the people in the GTO tripped me out particularly since they themselves weren't racing.
