I was cruising around in my new 2003 cobra and ran into a Mercedes I hadn't seen before, a C32 AMG Kompressor, no big deal right? I was wrong, very wrong. I was side by side with this young punk who started flexing and letting it be knwon that he wanted action, so I obliged figuring it was some chumperoni beefed up C class benz. We got on it and entered the freeway which had light traffic..To my surprise the C32 had a car length on me and we were at speeds of 80-100 at this point. To make a short story shorter, we terminated the race at about 130 mp's and I never gained that car length back, nor did I lose anymore ground either. I'm an import basher just as much as the next guy, but I'll give props to that C32, which ended up being an aluminum block super charged V6 with 350Hp....Anybody else see one of those on the road?

 

l guess the mercedes had a better power to weight ratio...l haven't seen them on the street.

 

But you bought a Cobra which left you some money to get lunch later. He had to empty the whole cookie jar to get his kraut burner.

 

lloyd said it best.



You hung with the dude pretty good for the cash you put into it. Sounds like the cars are pretty even at speed and he got the jump on you though.

 

Yeah, what's going on with Mercedes these days? Just saw on Car and Driver television this weekend that damn AMG E55 ran a 12.4 in the quarter. And it's a big sedan car! Watch out for that one too!

 

Both the Cobra and the AMG E55 run 12s, so it should be an interesting race.

 

the better be fast though for the price you pay for one of them things. i would rather get the cobra. its cheaper and if you put a supercharger on it it would be bad a$$

 

The Mercedes cost about $10,000 more than the Cobra and is better in every way. A Cobra is just a Ford after all. I am not a Ford basher, but I can't understand why anyone would choose a 2003 Cobra over a 2003 C32, unless you want that brute Cobra experience. If you took both drivetrains out of the equation you couldn't find any part on the Corba that is better or will last longer than the Mercedes. I live in an affluent area and I have seen several of these running around. THEY ROCK. If you think you got beat bad in a striahgt line wait till you try to turn that boat (Cobra).

 

Let's see.....let's put that $10,000 the Cobra owner saved and dump it into the car and see what happens.



Or even $5,000 for that matter. DIpsh*t.

 

not only that, but they are definetly more appealing to the eye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
