to tell u the truth i was originally going to get a 03 kb cobra that was in the lot for the same money i paid for my z. yes, the cobra had alot more power and it pulled nasty, but the way i felt in the z, it feels like a cockpit, brakes are awesome and it just felt so much better overall.

[QUOTE=whitecamaross] Call A&A and get one of Andy's $4995 P1SC/FMIC kits. With that and headers you'll be well over 550 rwhp.

good choice....even if the cobra has pullies, i dont think that it will be that bad of a race.....a kb well, that might be tough, but you can always match his mods and tak him out!!!!!

I dont blame you for taking the Z06, if the cobra is already modified its prob had the **** beaten out of it so that was prob the best choice. The 03-04 cobras are just plain nasty. I got to take one out for a test drive in Maine, and they let me go by myself, and I beat on the thing so bad. I need to start modding my Z now though...

Dont see how the GM brakes felt better than the 13.0" vented brembro cobra brakes?

Yeah I feel the same way. The Z06 (Or any newer corvette imo) just feels so much more PROFESSIONAL than the cobras do.
Every terminator cobra that I've driven or ridden in just seemed loosely slapped together and had rattles and **** that just made it seem sloppy. It rattled worse than my '94 T/A.
Vettes that I've been in and driven on the other hand seemed very nice and tight, very pro feeling. Still a long shot from a dodge viper though.. I've only had the pleasure a few times, but driving those was sweeeeet.
