Default does the grass just seem greener?

own a 05 s2000. really enjoy my car but feel the only thing i dont like is the lack of power. really want an terminator but dont like the fact that you see mustangs (even tho there are all not cobras) everywhere. would you sell your cobras for another car just because it's faster or are you guys content with with you have. what are the reason why you choose a cobra other than the performance it has or any other v8?

They make power very easily specially when there stock supercharged all you need is a intake, pulleys, and exhaust and your already at 450 to 500 horse. You put a kenne bell our a whipple supercharger on there your making 600 to 700 horse.

cobra21987 has the performance part of it...but the other part is the looks even though you see mustangs everywhere you dont see termis cause when you do your head turns and your like was that a termi i still do that when im out on the town

you make your car what you want it to be if your car is boring cause is slow then make it faster or get faster if you dont like the look then mod it and make it specific to you so that when you drive down the road people go oh that "your names" car

there are infinite options for our cars and mustangs alone but the thing bout ours is there rare and when you mod them you know it and everyone else does

I would not sell my Cobra for any other car I can afford. I agree with the above, that most folks know that it's different and better when they see the Cobra. And people that know cars and Mustangs certainly get that it's one of the best Mustangs ever made.

Part of it also depends on what other cars are popular where you are. Here, Corvettes and Porsches are a dime a dozen. I get sick of seeing them, and darn near all of them seem to be mid-life crisis cars, driven by 50-something year old grayhairs. (no offense to you 50 year old Vette owners out there ) I have only seen 2 other Terminators and a handful of 99/01 Cobras in this area, compared to (quite literally I assure you) dozens of Corvettes and Porsches every day. So that makes me enjoy the Cobra and be less inclined to trade it for those so-called 'better' cars in particular...
