[QUOTE="Silver2003Cobra, post: 10545733, member: 3143"] this wasn't a race, but a test drive comparison.. I took a new 5.0 GT out for a test drive about 10 miles long, (it had 156 miles on it) and had the performance package, brembo brakes, 3.73 gears etc. Externally, it was a good looking car, but I think we've all seen enough of them to know what they look like. Internally, it had a nice layout, the shifter was right where it needed to be, nice short throws as well (quite impressed for a stock shifter, and very smooth, definitely would be a later mod for an aftermarket shifter) the radio was nice, but I didn't try the sync out so I'll save that for a future test. I was very disappointed by the seats, it was like sitting on a bench seat, absolutely NO thigh or side bolster support from them. the clutch was very light, especally compared to the Cobra clutch, guess that's why they went from a cable clutch to a hydraulic clutch. the ride is very similar, maybe slightly harsher in the GT, but that's what you get when you have to make a solid axle car handle good.. acceleration, definitely slower than my 03 Cobra, but then I'm putting down quite a bit more power.. I was unable to use the brakes to test them out good, but I can't see them being to much different than the Cobras.. but it is hauling down more vehicle weight.. all in all, I don't think that there's any reason to trade in a good running Terminator on a 2011 GT, except if you don't like your money and want more car payments..
