Money is not the issue, you said what do they (Ford) have to compete with the Vette, and you said NOTHING, I am showing you that you are wrong.
The Ford GT, rare or not, is a supercar just like the C6 ZO6.
And who cares if any car has a blower stock. All of you guys need to stop the crying...."it has to have a blower!"
Really, you guys sound like ricer's, always needing an excuse to dismiss anything with more power then your own car.Do you guys even realize that if we didn't have the Mustang from the get-go there would be no Camaro/Firebird? Built the Camaro/Firebird to compete against the Mustang.
And over the years they get faster, we get faster. Its like ying/yang.
Peace,

You have a curb weight around 3,400lb and the Cobra has around 3,800lb.
You have an auto, all Cobra's are stick.
I have two all motor cars, but the term boost is for bitches is lame. I would love to see you go for the LSX 1/4 record without ANY type of boost. Spray all you want too, good luck man!

lol, but performance and all that is pretty comparable(C6 Z06 vs. Ford GT), but the Vette costs a shitload less too(almost 1/2), dollars and cents the Z06 is the best bang for your buck. Let me put it this way, when the Europeans start lookin at American Sports cars(and its the new Z06 thats done it) you know youve done something right. Euros are pretty set in their ways!

I have alot of Ford friends, and they would say GT over ZO6. I myself would still get the ZO6, freaking sweat car.
But also that Top Gear English show LOVES the Ford GT, I'd still rather have the ZO6 like I just said.

low 8's or high 11's.
No point commenting on the other nonsense really.

You guys are very close minded, ew..4.6 this 4.6 that blah blah, but its a FULLY BUILT MOTOR FROM THE FACTORY!!! Get a freaking clue. Small bolt-ons for a 03-04 Cobra and you're close to 500rwhp, not too bad in my opinion.

Im a little sore on this subject personally. I have spent over 8grand upgrading my car and i get absolutely ***-pounded by evey KB/Whipple terminator i run into. And they all have spent less then myself in modifications. I would love to see a stock bottom end LS1 run with a KB cobra.... Yeah sure there are probably a few vettes and a small hand full of f-bodies that can get the job done. But when it comes down to it with ~650rwhp and very streetable (i.e. no cammin, valve train noise, etc.) you cant really beat terminator's bang4thebuck. Yes cobras are still a shitty mustang, they will have all the squeaks and rattles of a shitty mustang....but that forged motor is straight sex
.Hopefully ill be able to get my hands on a terminator soon, i can only hope. Im still a GM fan, love vettes to death and all LSX motors.....but ford finally got something right with these supercharged/forged modular engines.
my next car will be an 03 04 cobra. only ford product i would buy. i think they look sweet and with a couple of mods you got 500 hp. i would take an ls car over one, but it would be damn nice to have both. oh and by the way you should post pics of you car.

the cobra king has spoken!I am not a fan of that trade to be honest, i would personally never get rid of my car, but no way and no how could i possibly say that an 03-04 cobra is junk or a downgrade. They have alot to offer, and for some thats more than enough
i weigh 3600 my friends cobra.... was weighed and weighed with him in it a lil under 4000 im not gonna buy a 4000 lb anything.. when it comes to dr.. plus there WAY over priced...
there nice cars and all dont get me wrong i love driving his car there fun as crap but it just seems not to have the power i do hes pullied full exhaust besides that and drag radials its stock...and of course a tune.
z06 is the **** i love them but they seem to be everywhere now im talking i see one at least everytime i drive somwhere... i dont know if its where i live or what but there seems to be allot of em in the tampa clearwater area...

Looks wise - no goddam question. You can't tell me that shoe box of a design is sexy. Fugly, yes. Can't beat a 4th gen f-body for looks (especially the WS6!!).
im addicted to speed, so give me a 03-04 cobra anyday
32of32 does have a point though, stick a non car enthusiast person with a ws6 and a cobra and ask them what car they think looks better, most would say "the firebird looks way better then the mustang"
ws6 = sexy
cobra = alright looking fast mustang
both cool though

Well, I like the F-bod way over the Mustang, but......
That damn '03/04 is one fast Ford with a very little mods!
Would love to own one; wouldn't give up the F-bod to get it though.
Enjoy your new ride.
