MM&FF's new issue has the GT500 test. They ripped off a 12.25 @ 115. I think thats plenty better than and 03/04.

Plenty better? It's not much better and you forget it has 500hp instead of the 03/04 which has 390hp.

If the car wasn't heavy as all hell...people would have been more interested.

My new July 06 Automobile mag. gives their stats as slower than or equal to the published Terminator ones, worse mileage, MAY out-corner Terminator (.95 vs. .90), worse braking distance, solid rear axle, and 228 lbs. heavier. I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but the GT500 seems like a step backwards from the 03/04 Terminators. AND, no way can it match my Mystichrome appearance package!! Put a K&N CAI and Bassani cat-back w/a new Predator tune on a Terminator (like I have) & you have a GT500 beater, IMHO.
I also noticed the glaring absence of any mention of any comparison to the Terminators! That in itself was self-serving to the so-called first test of the GT500. Usually, when testing a new vesion of a previous model -BMW M3, for example- it is ALWAYS compared to the last issue of that model.
But hey, it IS a new Cobra, after all.

"Bloated pig of a car?" "Congrats to your dad for buying the car?"

Whats up with the 'tude fellas?

Geez, you would think that the guy did something wrong around here.

If any of you didn't have your dad buy a car for you at some point in time, well...cool.

The guy has a new Cobra! Who wouldn't be excited whether his dad or his bank or if he bought it?

I say "nice", and good for the economy as well.

Enjoy it!

I agree, I think it's a great thing! Congrat's to you and your dad. Have fun with it and show it off to everyone who will look!
I think the rude comments are uncalled. Who knows he may not like your cars. but, he didn't down on you. It may be jeallousy.
Just the same. Have a good time and watch out for cops when ya "get on it".

congrats on the new stang. in this little forum i have already heard a lot of good and bad thing said about the car. I remember back in the day when i got my first 99 cobra(im on my second cuz of bad drivers hitting me) and all the smack that was talked about comparing it to the 98's. But with a little hard work, some money and mods, you can make any overly fattened up, solid rear ended, 500Hp car sickly fast. Good luck to you and your dad.

congrats on the new family purchase get pics asap. I mean when i get out of college in 2yrs i will probably end up buying one of these shelbys when the price has stabilized and i have means to get it. I mean 500 hp for 45k. not bad imo and of course they had to have more power than the terminators they weigh like 700 lbs more. Terminators are excellent cars as will the shelbys be in due time

Congrats... Can't wait to see pics!
