[QUOTE="99svtvert, post: 4216512, member: 22962"] I can't think of a better way to put it than this: I have a friend with a 04 2V GT; very nice car and fun to drive. He has a Vortech on it and get about 380 RWHP. He drove the FR500 Cobra tonight. He was smiling for an hour after his drive because of the high RPM buzz he got. He has had 4-5 mustangs and I quote "I never drove a care that screams like that one before not even and 04 Cobra". There is an downhill "on ramp" to an interstate near where I live, and then a 1/2 mile flat stretch and finally a long uphill off ramp. That is 3/4 mile from my home and I heard him get on and shift twice and get off. Even at at that distance it is a wailing noise like Nascar. When he pulled back in the driveway and around back, I could hear the cams settling down to a low rumble. When he got out he looked a little gray in color and them the smile started. He said it scary at first and then euphoric; he hit the rev limiter twice at 7400 RPM and didn't expect that he was near it. His comments gave a good perspective. He said when you first drive a 1999-2001 Cobra you really get the high RPM RUSH after having driven a GT. Difference; at 5800 it's about all over; with a 99-01 Cobra you get that extra 800-1000 RPM and that is a thrill and an advantage. Driving THIS, he commented, is like making the same jump yet again from Cobra to Super Cobra; to 7400 and it is still pulling (no labor at all). Best part; he is buying an 01 built Cobra tomorrow and ordered FR500 heads and cams for it tonight due to ship next Monday; which was a complete surprise to me. It never ends for us, does it ?
