I have nothing but respect for the new Cobras , they are simply badass. From what i've seen on this site, we give credit where credit is due. We may bash a little rice, but thats,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,OK!

I've been beat by on 03 cobra, those things are mean. A friend of mine raced me, he has intake and exhaust only, and it dynoed at 409rwhp!...but he only pulled 2 1/2 cars on me to 100mph, but once i shift to 4th he pulls hard. Not bad considering he has about 100 extra horsepower. Next he's getting a chip and pully, and i'll have H/C headers....so we'll see how that goes, he'll probably have 470rwhp and i'll have around 415rwhp...he'll be on street tires i have nittos.

An '03 cobra is an anomoly.....Kinda like the freakishly fast GNX when it came out, and the Typhoon and Cyclone when they came out.These cars are put out by the car makers every once in a while and only a select few will have the privilege to actually own one in the future.I can rant some more, but i dont want to.03 Cobras,simply put are ******* nasty beasts ,and anybody who doesn't respect them is foolish to not do so.

And i used to own a 98 red vette ,lightly modded, and only got beat by two 03 cobra's , a 2002 anniversary ss, and a whole **** load of bikes.Every once in a while i would roll up on a notchback mustang and get walked.and trust me, anyone in the southeast region of houston can attest, i raced a lot of people.I was the vette with the loudmouth and some other **** .really ******* loud without cats.

I do have respect for those guys over there. A very good website. With that said, I have raced 3 Cobras, all of them modded, and none of them beat me. One was close but none of them pulled me.

You can give yourself some credit too (in terms of skills). Don't be bashful.
But it's true what you say about car mags making good times with it.

On a side note, the '03 Z06 that I drove was a test drive at a dealer. I was considering buying it. I took it on a local highway and cranked her up to 130mph in no time. It had 6 miles on it.
I would've bought it except I didn't fit too well in it. 
The salesman was my boy so he let me beat on it a bit.

I did check out the site and have been reading some posts there. I did not see anything I did not expect and there were some compliments. However, I am interested in having a fun run vs a 03 Cobra or Mach1. I have not had any luck in my area. So, posted a response for same.
