I wish i ran into a some F-bodies like some guys on this site when I had my cobra, sounds like a mild cammed f-body walks on pullied cobras like it is a stock civic with missfire in all 4 cylinders.

I just think some cobras around here don't perform how they should. If you ran into me im sure i'll give you a fight
The fact that a newer vehicle costs more isn't surprising. An optioned Camaro SS or WS6 was a $30,000+ car in 2002, the Cobra was $33,000-36,000 in 03-04. Considering you get a car with a fully-forged motor that even detuned makes 60 more rwhp, an IRS (important to some, although not me), Brembo Brakes, dual fuel pumps, etc., etc. and the cost/value proposition looks pretty good.
Cobras cost much more to mod? That's news to me and the rest of the automotive world.
You mean the nearly $50,000 MSRP f-body?
My Cobra is no more cheaply made than my 2000 Formula was. :shrug: And the differences between the Cobra and V6 are at least as distinctive as between a Z28 and it's V6 counterpart. I can see how the V8 and V6 Camaros are so very different looking :bash:.....LOL:
Ummm, there's quite a bit more to it than that.
I didn't realize you could build a completely forged LSx motor AND add a blower for just over $3,000.If I knew that, I would have never sold my Formula. :burnout:
I am still reading the thread but I had to say,
Larry, this was one hell of a PWANGE!!!!! :rockon:
Those who say a H/C/I fbody can run with your regular twinscrew cobra,
well here is a video of me racing against a friend. Pay attention to the left lane, the car is a twinscrewed 600rwhp and 590rwtq full weight, SRA car. Your "regular" twinscrewed cobra.
since my car performed pretty good, You guys should get a really good idea abou twinscrewed terinators. Look how well the twinscrewed cobra performed and how badly he walked away from us. We got the hit and he was still pulling hard when we shut down. Again, I trapped 123mph best of and consistent 122mph (on cool days) and was running 11s all day long on a hot as hell day with best of 11.3. So he didnt walk away like that from a stock cobra or a 12- 13 sec. cobra.

Yep, they are that slow.....

yep, the guy makes 600rwhp and runs 10.4 with a full weighted car. Looks just like any other dyno queen to me.
or a 455rwhp car running low 11s, that sounds just like one of the dyno queens too...
P.S. those who say fbody is cheaper to mod, I hope you are kidding. I spent $1200.00 total to my car and it was beating cammed F-bodies, bolts on, sprayed LS1s and I didnt have to worry about breaking the rear end...
jealousy is a bitch

this arguement will go on forever,its pointless lol
We could do this all day. What about 420hp cars running low 11's full weight. So far i'm not jealous of cobra's maybe when i see some good ones in person i'll get jealous :rollseyes
full weight what? 3000lbs with driver? ROFL!! You are the one said "if you want a dyno queen, go buy a cobra" and I gave a fullweighted (3800lbs+ or more with a driver )cobra example. You obviously have nothing to say to that. What kind of power you make and what kind of times you run at track bro? Just curious.
then you need to get your head out of your butt bro.

This thread will never end!
Actually I can and will show you some example of how I'm not. I'm just making sure you Fbody guys understand that your not going to come on here and talk shit with a bunch of Mustang guy and not have anything said back to you. I've know plenty enough Fbody guys and y'all are some stuck up MoFo's on your cars. But honestly a Terminator is a better car than a Fbody, and yes I'm a Ford/Mustang guy.

That should be enough examples and you will notice that none are in the section that we're in right now whatever its called. I have respect for Fbodies I just don't show it to their owners unless they are talking to me and showing me respect for having a cool car and I'm especially not showing a bunch of trolls respect for their cars who admitly come on here to try and keep us in check our own forum. You have to look at it through the eyes of a Mustang enthusiast. Most GM/Fbody enthusiast really like the fact that throwout history the Fbody more often than not were generally faster than their counterpart Mustangs, and they really like tell and bragging on this to Ford/Mustang enthusiast. What do you think was one of the big reasons I wanted a 03/04 Cobra, and why do you think I keep telling you how they are infact better performance cars than Fbodies? Lord knows Fbodies like any other LS powered car have huge potential, and I do understand and respect that. Just yesterday I saw a guy with a car just like your and it had a pretty decent size cam and sounded very badass, and I imagen it was a pretty strong runner, but other than being cammed I don't know what the car had.
Also I think this is fun as hell. Have fun with it. IMO theres nothing wrong with an internet argument and some shit talk as long as your not threating to kick someones ass who live 1000 miles away or something stupid like that

Right on. Bow before the mighty terminator. :bowdown: The absolute best car for under 100K in the entire world. When snakes attack...
One little kill story and everyone has got their panties in a bunch...
Bench racers, please report to the nearest door and slam your fingers in it so that you can't type up complete bullshit. Thanks and have a nice day.
Take it to the track and back your shit up or GTFO.
Marlon, me and you, brotha. Lets do this!!! :beer:

LOL i'm down on the street of course :burnout:
Musclefan....my car runs 12.9 at 130 :thumbsup:
How about this... We run at the track and loser pays for the track fees.
I can't street race, bro... Haven't done it in a very long time.
Or we can just cruise and have everyone shake in fear as they feel the rumble of 1,300+ RWHP coming at them. :rockon:
I 100% agree.
Many Cobra owner(and I'm probably included sometime) have too high of an opinion of their cars, but like you said it has great potential just like an Fbody does, and getting a big head is in many cases part of having a fast car. :beer:
As a Mustang Cobra owner I don't have a problem admitting that cars like Vipers, ZO6's, or even base model Vettes are just better performance cars than Mustang Cobra's, but I personnally would rather have a Cobra because I'm a Ford Guy, which means I like Mustangs, and Mustang Cobra's, etc. I've even seem on forums were atleast one ZO6 owner who use to be Fbody owner says that they missed their Fbody and wish they had it back inplace of the ZO6 even though it isn't the all around performance car the ZO6 is. That the rawness or whatever of the Fbody was just funner to them, but IDK, I have no ZO6 experiance.
Shetup!:burnout:
