Test drove a Terminator DEFINTELLY keeping my LS1
Today i test drove a 03 Cobra and i really wasnt that impressed i mean it was bone stock but everyone talks about these cars like they are gods gift to the muscle car world....maybe i just wasnt impressed because my 02 T/A is far from stock 393RWHP 373RWTQ......but it just felt like my Trans am would destroy it and i felt like the cobra is a little overated i could be wrong thou....ive only drove ONE and it was stock anyone else think the same or think im wrong (because i could be)

I think that the reason they are so badass is not cause they are killer in stock form, but that you can just throw a few simple mods on like a pulley and exhaust and get these things to be monsters. I'm sure compared to your car it felt inferior, your car has a lot more power.
Can you compare anything else though maybe? I've never test drove one before. How was the clutch? Seating position, quality of the ride and interior?

car drove good i liked it alot i guess i just was disappointed because of all the hype i hear about them and PLEASE DONT GET ME WRONG im not cutting the car or the people who own them down.....the only thing i didnt like about it is the clutch will defintelly give ur leg a workout very stiff clutch that may be the reason i dont end up buying it because my wife who is like 90 pounds soaking wet could barely push the clutch down hahaha

12/13 seconds cars were "quick" or "fast" like 10-15 years ago. In todays world with the technology thats available, a fast car for most guys would be a nice 9-10 second street car or anything above 500-550rwhp. Termi's do drive nice though and the throttle response of their blowers are sweetness. My neighbor has a Kenne Bell 03 Cobra that has around 600rwhp, its fun haha

how many 9-10 second street cars do you just see running around, to most people a stock f-body or cobra is plenty fast we here on ls1 tech are speed deamons so stock fbodys and cobras might seem slow to us. Most of us have cars putting out close too or at least 400 rwhp so the stock stuff seems like nothing.

I know everyone has a different opinion on whats "fast" or not, however I still don't think stock Cobras and F-Bodies belong in the "slow" category at all. Compared to most other cars produced they are fast...
