Default A 20 something bought the Cobra...

He didn't test drive it so I'd bet he was in for a shock. I hope he doesn't wreck it and kill himself. That'd be a major waste of a great car.

Did you take it back to stock or sell it as-is?

Hey Charlie ! Don't worry he'll be perfectly safe in that slow *** car j/k lol ! How did you find out who bought it ? Did you see him driving around or something ? I bet that would feel pretty weird huh ?! I hope he doesn't wreck it too, that would be total bad karma

Hey now! My son is a "twenty-something" (late 20's) so I resemble that remark by virtue of proxy or somesuch nonsense

If my son had bought it there is no way it would end up wrapped around anything but a pretty girl in the 'back seat'. You can't impress a gal if your car looks like a munched up door stop. Mom isn't clueless

Don't knock all 20 somethings until you see them wrapped around something inanimate.
Then you can laugh and cry at the same time

I feel cramped in a cobra. Just seems like the doors are in my lap. Not the legroom, just how close the seats are positioned to the doors.

yeah the new 05 mustangs I feel really cramped in. It just seems like there's more room in a vette even than a new mustang.

I bought my car a month after I turned 18 . Started modding right away, haven't even scraped anything yet, but I did almost wipe out on the freeway in the rain one time.. My *** end was in front of my headlights at one point going 50mph sideways.. Not so good, luckily I learned on a RWD car with 50/50 weight distrobution so I know how to handle things more or less..

I'm a 20 something,but my car is slow so I have no room to talk. If you see the kid in your car, Charlie, ask him if he wants to race a redneck in an old fox body that thinks he's the ****.

I can vouch for this. It looked fast as **** in my rear view at Bremerton.

Ahh, ya didn't get to run it after the gears. You would've needed the bottle to beat it. Some of the local car guys work at the dealership and told me about the deal. The car was traded in FULLY modded.

We both swapped from 3.55s to 4.10s. I guess we'll never know.
