When it was being developed, the fbody was still around.
Do you believe that there are killer bees on their way up from South America?
Perhaps the moon landing was shot in Hollywood? Don't be a conspiracy
theorist. Mustangs and fbodies have been locked in a dual for longer than you
and I have been around...now all of a sudden it doesn't make sense that a
Mustang was meant to compete with a fbody? Come on Lemons...

You understand that the OEM's work on a vehicle years before it actually comes to market right?

used not new
you keep quoting used prices and the vette has depreciated more than the cobra.
this thread is great, pretty soon the ford gt will be an f1 "terminator;" same apples to oranges **** of comparing a 2+2 car to a 2 seater that costs at least 10k more

IIRC I never said they did not build the Cobra to compete with the fbody. I am sure they did. In my opinion though (this whole time) it should be more matched against the Z since they have so much in common.
There is no doubt in my mind it should be compared to an fbody, like you said it is Ford VS GM.. It has to be.
But! I do think that Ford was somewhat trying to compete with the Zo6 as well. On a scale as large as the fbody? Obviously not... But I believe in the back of their minds they were shooting for it. Maybe not performance, which is obvious I suppose, but maybe in sales.
This is more my opinion. I have used facts (about the build numbers/factory options/etc) to back up my OPINION on the matter. I understand this is just my opinion and certainly not fact (or it could be, I don't know).
Hope that explains where I'm coming from a little bit more.
Regardless, they are still the "same" price now. Even new, there was only a 10K difference between the Cobra/Z.... Just like the fbody/Cobra.
I'm not saying anybody is wrong or right, including myself. I am just sharing my opinion on the matter.

New a fully optioned Fbody was as much as a Cobra. A Cobra is still a Mustang... a fully optioned one. Loaded compared to loaded.
