i don't understand what the argument is with the ls1 and the cobra's...they are both bad cars...your finding cobras for 25-30 well i can find ls1's for 15...so there is 10 grand to spend on say a supercharger and what not....eventually you will have to upgrade the internals...but i've never understood why people always argue crap like that...the basic thing is whoever has the most money goes the fastest...i mean you can even get a 5.0 mustang for a few thousand dollars and put 15-20k in mods and will kill tons of people..

40k? Are you on crack? Try 25k.

And since we're arguing rice style, 2 grand more gets you an easy 500+ rwhp. (catback, x-pipe, CAI, pulley, tune, nitrous)
Overpriced? Are you serious!? 390 bhp for 25-30k is absolutely NOT overpriced. Add in the mod factor (1.5-2 grand for an easy 100 more rwhp, no internal modding), and you've got yourself one hell of a great value. You've got a top of the line full exhaust (stainless steel LTs and GMMG), intake, and tuning and you still are 20 rwhp away from the RWHP that Cobras put down, bone stock.

Overpriced? I think not. Give respect where it's due. I've been an F-Body guy my whole life, but the Terminators are awesome cars.
this is what i was talking about...but from the sounds of things i guess i took it the wrong way didn't mean to **** people off...

Yeah, I wasn't saying anything bad about LS1s at all. I love them, I was just trying to illustrate that the new Cobra is an awesome car.
