RE: 2007 cobra is PIMP
No IRS? That really sucks. Not everybody likes to drag race; I like road racing (not to be confused with street racing ) and IRS is almost a must.
The 05 chassis is highly superior to the 30 yr old design of the 03/04 Cobras. If they put IRS on it, it would dominate. Without IRS it's a waste of good chassis, and never be able to compete at Vette levels in terms of handling. You can make a flexy foxbody into an 8 second car, but you can't outlap a Viper on Road America or Laguna Seca without major body work.

if the 2007 cobra doesn't come with IRS I might be looking at c6's when it comes time to trade in the 'ol red dragon [&:]

Know that the vette has tremendous acceleration due to big cube torque, but the IRS makes it almost impossible to do hole shots.
Also, the vette is a high speed type of car rather than a stoplight racer. When the Cameros were around, they were a better bet for around town horsing around.
The vette is a very large car.
Just know what they are before leaping.

Its also out in this weeks autoweek...calling it the gt 500. I don't like the front end...it looks like the V6 front end...no personality. For that much money and that much horsepower I hope it comes out a little more bad-*** looking.
