[QUOTE="tt335ci03cobra, post: 15633423, member: 68944"] Mine is 15 and has 60,750~. No where near stock. And I didn't kid myself when I bought it. My buddies back then had c55 amgs and m3's. Those cars had "interiors" and comforts that were great for the time. My car was always the nomad. I bought it for that reason. I daily drove cars that had comforts like infiniti's etc etc. My cobra will humiliate stock and modded hellcats up here. Hell, bring a damn demon. Thing probably runs low 11's up here. Hellcats and zr1's run tip top 11's and low 12's at 115-118. Stock c6z's run high 12's at 110-113. My pump gas tune on 12psi traps north of 130+* at 4600ft with a manual on 91 octane. Turbos eat everything alive at altitude. I'm sure if I brought it to sea level, and tuned it for 93, or switched to e85 (it's 30+ miles away from me currently) I'd be even happier with the cars performance. It also handles and corners and grips far better than most cars I've ever driven. Just an mm full suspension with an ftbr rear, brembos, sticky tires, and light wheels. Flsc's, bla bla bla we all know what a fox or sn95 needs to handle phenomenally especially with an IRS. Surprising how a shitty 15 year car on a 38 year old lasagna noodle running 60 year old suspension geometry without abs or traction control can handle. But whatever. I won't argue semantics or feel or so on. Plenty of people with 03 cobra's are very happy with their cars and have literally zero jealousy regarding hellcats or demons or zl1's or amg's etc etc. Many people like myself can go buy a $100k amg, m, rs_, etc and choose not too. We have our nomad toy, and our daily drivers. We put our money in our houses, investments and businesses. We don't need a demon for the same reason we don't need a subzero fridge or an Olympic size swimming pool. It's not a matter of money or ignorance, it's a matter of what the hell for. I've said the 03 cobra is everything the 1957 Chrysler 300c or 1964 Pontiac gto was for the given American performance scene then/now, and stick to it. Opinions are opinions. Mines fine with me. The demon needs race gas, umpteen boosts, computer aided launch, a killer chiller, and a mineshaft to run a 9.6@140 on slicks and skinnies. Big ****ing whoop. It's $86k. I would hope an $86k challenger built for the purpose of drag racing could run into at least the 9's on slicks and skinnies with race gas and 840hp. Another car that can run 9's on slicks and skinnies is a bolt on trinity car making 700whp. Lethal did that 4 years ago. Not even the best mineshaft either.

End rant. Edited 28 times or whatever to fix typos and add context. Have fun blasting away whatever you want. Freedom of speech goes all ways as it should. [/QUOTE]
