I've heard that Saleens SUCK! or at least their customer service sucks. As for the S281E...those run over $60K and will still get it's *** handed to it by a bolt-on 03 Cobra costing $34K + $2k in mods. The S281 is just a GT with make up on and very minimal HP gains. Handling is much improved though. </P>
I hope you've been saving for insurance payments on top of the cost of the car. That is, if you dont kill yourself first. Good luck</P><edited><editID>Pyrro</editID><editDate>37845.6330092593</editDate></edited>

Whats Roush? Ya im getting a Sixer, i know how to drive Stick but not fully masterd it yet you know. Is there a significant diffrence in performance and handling from the 03's and older modles? like 99 or 00 or 97? Can a stock03 Cobra really beata stock Coupe/converitble S281? ya im planning on driving it to school but of course im getting full coverage, bumper to bumper , sound alarm system, locking mechanism, the metal thing that gose along the steerrin wheel, and this other 1 that locks onto your brake that is really really good.

This is my 3rd Cobra. I previously had a 95 Cobra and a 97 Cobra and the03 handles much better than those did. I was surprised since the 03 is much heavier butin order to compensate for the weight, SVT incorporated much better Bilstein shocks andhigher rate springs. I'm not sure if it handles better than a Saleen but lowering springs from Eibach, FRPP, or H&Rgo for under$300 which should even things up a bit. If youget a coil-over set up on an 03,the Saleen is definitely toast unless you're talking about a S281E! That would be a good race.</P>

Roush is another one of those companies that supe up stangs and resell i dont think there as expensive or hard to find as saleen but of course there not goin to be as fast a saleen off the lot. lol last week of school our seniors went to Disneyland some guys thought it be ok to leave there cars on campus over night. one guy had his set of 20's stolenand his s10 left on cinderblocks. another guy had his ricer pretty much stripped but hey they left there cars over nite

Ya i wouldnt leave my car over night or outside, i have a garage, so id leave it in there, plus id get the locks for the rims, thats is a definate nessicity. And i would get insurance on them.
