[QUOTE="tt335ci03cobra, post: 16108530, member: 68944"] Regarding these statements, I would like to link to the one that did so much to spark a movement. The 03 cobra in many ways is the spiritual Phoenix to the 1964 gto, 1958 Chrysler imperial, or whatever car people consider the first hipo v8 American all around performance/muscle/got to have it car. The 2007 gt500 took the reins of boosted American v8 and gave it classic lines and and more capability. Dodge came back with the challenger and charger, Chevy with the camaro, and so on. But all of that was non existent in 2003/4. Ford could have sold a 210hp v6 with a snake on the hood as the cobra if they so wanted. They sold a $35k car with 400hp and a shortblock capable of holding 1200whp.
