RE: Is this a Good deal !?!?
I love my GT, dont get me wrong but, i want a cobra so bad its not even funny.My car is fast but no matter how fast its not a cobra. You can have a reliable car makin 500 hp with little mods in a cobra whereas a gt takes alot more work. Maybe it'll cost less but its also LESS reliable. also its much more of a headache. because you gotta get a blower and cams and a whole bunch of crap.honestly i dont see a stock motor 2v makin 430whp being able to outrun a 500 whp cobra. i just dont see it. But then i guess i'll find out when i run both my cars.

It is... the Cobra has more torque, more rwhp, and a bigger powerband... people complain about the IRS, but i've seen IRS outlaunch solid before too... 200lbs isn't that big of a difference... i'd rather be 55mph in 2nd gear with another few 100 rpms to go then 55mph in the middle of third...

Nah its cool.. haha, I was making a generalized statement... the T56 gears with the 3.55 ratio, have I think a few mph higher each gear... it's like 62 or so is when I have to get into 3rd... around 100-115 in 4th, and 4th tops around 145 or so...
I trying to remember it's been a while since ive had to go that fast..
