having owned a few performance cars in the past, 97 Cobra, 98 Vette, 02 S2000 and now 03 Cobra, I believe that I can reasonably good compare them..
the S2000 vs Cobra.. it's like a go cart vs a dragster.. the Cobras handle reasonably good, but compared to the S2000, they are definitely behind it..
stuff that's fun in the S2000 (canyon carving, or such with tight corners) isn't the fortea of the heavier domestic cars. They do pretty good, but like the straight aways better..
Do I miss my S2000, sure I do, but I will say that I like the power of the Cobra more than the handling of the S2000.. would I have traded my S2000 in on a GT500, no since IMHO the handling is too far down on it compared to the S2000, where the 03 Cobra with it's IRS is a better handling car than what I feel Ford can do with the solid axle S197 cars..(in the real world, not a smooth as glass track)
