i could have had the z06 as well. the fact is that there are MANY people on this forum that could afford the vette. it is extremely arrogant for you z06 guys to assume that because we dont have a vette means we cant afford one. there is no oem car on the market that has more hp per dollar than the 03 cobra. that is a fact! quit showing your ars and move on.

I have to say one thing though. I am gonna buy a 03 cobra real soon but if i had the money i would buy a Z06. For a few reasons, one chev. ususally has a little better quality. and the most important for me is look at what a cobra does when you go to sell it. And then look at what corvettes do. They have proven themselves by holding value pretty well so thats why i would want one of them.

Thats just my 2 cents worth

For 15-20k more It should have better quality even though I disagree with you on that. PM me if you wish to discuss this further.

wait for the gt40 if you want to compare to z06's, vipers, & m3's, also throw in , any future camaro's, and probably a 427 vette. But the way nice qm time, and excellent 60 ft, what kind of lanch were you using?

Actually, you see more then a few complaints on vette boards about them not holding their resale value. With zero percent it can be cheaper to buy new from one of the the 'super' dealers, then used.

Well said, Xtra.

Let's get back on F8LBITE's topic of an 11.44 '03 Cobra on DR's.

Thank you.

zul8r, what part of this did you not understand?

Final warning, keep it on topic or apologize to F8L for ruining/getting locked a perfectly good thread...

Guys, please, do not feed the trolls...

BTW there no where near $180 grand!! Get your facts straight. The LPE 427TT option is a mear $50 grand- so it would be a $100,000 car.
But theres plenty of Z's with prochargers with 600rwhp for about $60k.

Its pointless to continue. You can say oh well I know somwone with a mustang that runs a 9's- then I can say the same thing about a vette.
If you look stock for stock theres nothing under $50k that comes even close to what the Z06 offeres- NOTHING.

BTW I love MUSTANGS- but theres not one that compares to my Z06.

You act as if your z06 is leagues ahead of the cobra. Its more expensive, YAY. First of all, a bmw m3 is 10x better then the z06. The car is more comfortable, looks better, has more techonlogy in it, seats 4, and the interior does not look like it belongs on a cavalier. Now your comeback will be, oh the z06 outperforms it for less cash. Well, that is exactly what the cobra does to the z06, so your whole argument is moot.

 

[F8LBITE]

Wow its amazing what happens in such little time. All I posted was some times and someone gets upset. All I did was answered the challenge from a Vette guy that I'm pretty darn sure who it is, even though he is a little bite of a p*ssy by calling me by my name and not leaving his. I would not own a Z06 even though I am impressed with the cars. I did drive my buddies 02 Vette (I'm sorry its not Z06 so I guess it sucks compared to one of those) I liked it but when I got my Cobra why did he drive it and say I would rather have the Cobra? I got my car at X plan so I didn't pay more than sticker and so what if I don't have a $46000 to $50000 Z06. I can eat one alive straight and around corners because I would bet the Cobra will hang in the turns and oh yeah its faster so I believe I would pull away on the straights. Don't get me wrong some Z06's are very fast and some are slow it depends on who drives them, I do like the cars but don't sweat the numbers until you run them. SEE YA

 

[dougwg]

you want fast??

How bout this ....they have tested it and it ran 420KPH with a SC Ford 4.6 BTW: it costs $400,000.00 <~~~~~LINK

 

[TURK]

Theres LPE TT vettes running 9's that are emissions leagal!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Yeah, they also cost $180,000.

I lost by 1/4 car in my 707 rwhp Supra from 5-110 mph to a C5 TT with 728 rwtq. It's for sale for 64K. 12K miles. Runs 10.2@135. Auto. If interested: AIM: DJ JSelf

Also saw it smoke a heavily modded 03 Cobra and it beat a busa from a 50 mph roll to 150mph.

I find these posts amusing. ;-)
Cheby guys,Ford guys and some of you are BI!!!

I'll bet you guys compare LAP DANCERS the same way.

I am a FORD guy and i think it's just more fun beating a VETTE with a Cobra.
Cobra is a Mustang with a cover charge.:shrug:

quoted from their webpage... dosn't seem like all that great of a deal to me (comparing the price, vs. the simple mods one can do to a 03 Cobra. Also, at the bottom, states you can get their warranty for $200.00, but I'm thinking its only for the supercharger, I didn't read into it much....Also, it says its NOT emissions friendly, unless you see an EO number listed, and unless i'm looking in the wrong place, I didnt see one listed.

[david smilovic]

I too own both and the Z06 is far more refined than the 03'.Take them both over 150 with stock suspension Vette firmly planted Cobra LIGHT!!!!!.I have owned 12 'Stangs loved them all and 12 Vettes loved all too.
They each have qualities of there own and some they share.So lets all enjoy our rides and mod them till they satisfy each owner.Dave S.
Ps my Vette has seen speeds in excess of 225 the 'Stang I believe did a 175 run last week and will be a 200 mph ultra G machine or dragster I have not yet made up my mind.Dave
