Always wanted to know how it is to drive compared to my WS6. To me (once again personal preferance) the WS6 feels uncomfortable to drive. Im a deacent height and I still have a hard time finding a nice seating position. Hard to see out of this car too.

I gotta find me a cobra around here to test drive.

Congrats on your purchase. I had a lot of fun with mine. I bought mine back in 06 at 18 also with only 4900 miles on it that was bone stock. I used to have alot of people ask how can you afford to buy a $28,000 car at 18. I took a loan out and was working since 14 and co-oped my last year of high school stashing away every penny I could. I must admit even though the Terminator was a lot quicker I like my Camaro SS a lot better. I cannot wait to have Mikey @ Rapid build me an LS7 for it. Have fun with her, Andy.

If I had more garage space I would buy my Cobra back if I could. The guy I sold it to sold it to his dad like 2 months after I sold it to him.

I bought all the basic bolt ons for it. MAC long tube headers and O/R H, Ford Racing M55 Catback, FIPK, Reichard Racing 2.90 pulley, and a billetflow 4 piece Idler set. That exhaust set up is just as loud as the the loudmouth setup on the F-body. SLP just dont sound the same on the Cobras. I had it dynoed by Frank at PSI motorsports at 521hp and I thought it seemed high. There was guys with ported blowers and smaller pulley set-ups not making that power. When I sold the cobra the guy had it re-dynoed at Lund Performance at 470rwhp. He told me there was somthing wrong with the timing and if Frank would have made one more run on the dyno the power would have dropped.

You are smart. I actually lost interest in the car when I modded it. I had more fun when It was stock. Partly because of the tuning issues.

I never got good gas mileage with mine but I was always in the throttle. I could use a half of tank just cruising around in a morning.
