Default 03 Cobra

Well I finally ran into an 03 Cobra at a stop light but too bad I was in my truck. He took off from the light and I have got to admit that the car ran pretty good. I KNOW I would've given him a pretty good run though.

It depends what mods he has done. Granted your cammed SS should do pretty well against it.

I love f-bodys, but it seems that GM doesn't get it. With the C6 getting more power(rumor) we can only wonder how fast the f-body could have been. You got to hand it to ford for putting a blower on a stang, and give it a warrantie to boot. Just my 2 cents.

i would not be suprised to see 450hp out of the 2006 cobra, and that car may very well woo me out of my TA... but i really wish GM hadn't killed the f-bodies. what is life without competition? without rivalries? boring is what it is. here's hoping the reborn camaro will be a winner. *clink*

Too bad they void out everyone's warranty instead of honoring it.
