ok so why dont jacrocket meet with david k after david purchased the cobra r on ebay, then we can settle this little debate pretty quick

 

i found a cobra r on ebay with less than 1000 miles that i have an interest in

 

If you ever find yourself in So Cal, you're welcome to have a ride. Even if that didn't change your opinion, I think you'd respect the way my car is engineered.

I'm in Dallas on business every so often, but I don't usually take my car on the plane.

Cheers, and Merry Christmas =)

I don't mean to be a dick by bringing up an old thread..but have you seriously even been to a drag strip?? There are tons of camaros around me that are N/A and pushing 500rwhp. Not to mention a Cammed Z06 would eat your car ALIVE. Sorry to be the dick to step on your ego..but it happens. [&:]

 

Yea, I second that. Cobras are nice granted... but can be easily beaten with the right mods. They can overtake more than half of the imports no doubt (due to idiot ricehead non-mechanic kids), but its a pretty dead even fight against camaros.

My buddy owns a 2001 orange SS that'll blow the doors off of your cobra.





With the new monster camaro coming out in 07 (correct me if im wrong about the launch date) I am kind of wondering how ford will compete with its 305 hp ponies.. but thats a different thread altogether.




ALSO correct me if im wrong, but didnt they make liek a 94 or 95 mustang that had a 5.4L engine in it? It was either prototype.. or WICKID rare.. I honestly dont remember. I'll have to do some research.

 

Sorry to sound so arrogant. I admit that I was overracting a little to David_K at the time. In my defense, I was refering to beating"anything n/a" in a modular motor. The "bring lots of cubic inches"is intended toallow for the GMsetups you mention.

My pointwas that I don't seeany n/a modular motor (w/o N2O)making the power of an 03 Cobra with a Whipple upgrade, ported heads, full bolt-ons, Al driveshaft, and complete suspension.

Cheers, and happy new year

 

Yesitalia10588, the 1995 Cobra R had a 5.8L V8.

Sorry about my post as well, now that I read it, I realize I was being a dick lol! Happy New Years!

 

actually i was thinking of the 1998 Super Stallion. It was a Ford prototype that never quite made it. I started a thread on it a day or two ago, I've got some sites if you want more information on it.

 

the cobra r is a street made race car. it has been stripped of all options. the 03-04 cobra is a drivable race car. i think both cars bring out the best in which they were made for. as far a camaro, i have alot of chevy and pontiac friends and hands down the cobra is a easy and better handling car. the ones that do take me ,spent a whole lot of money to get there. as far as the new camaro, i dont think the mustang has to worry about horse power war. it won that war once before.
