A mutual respect is pretty cool. Most Cobra guys that really know cars give the same respect to LS1's. ****...most of us had one. I'm still impressed everytime I see a 500rwhp N/A combo. It's so easy to make these days. LS1's hold power just as easy as Cobras really. I've seen 600-700+rwhp on bone stock motors with a turbo kit. The Livernois Escalade that you guys have all seen must be making 700hp or so and the motor is 100% bone stock.

I tell Cobra owners all the time, if I had not found my Z I would have bought an 03 Cobra. I love the way to car sounds, especially ***** out!I believe the color I wanted was sonic blue, correct me if I'm wrong about the color.I have respect for those cars, mucho respect.But I don't fit in them too well, damn shifter!

It was the other way around for me... I would go to the track and run horrible but beat just about anything I raced on the street especially from a roll (including bikes)

yes the 03 Cobra is a piece of work. The supercharger sounds absolutely nasty at 60-70 mph at WOT. I was with two 500rwhp Cobras tonight. Damn I want one lol...or a blower on mine pic of the Cobras and me... http://tinypic.com/9lcoz4.jpg fuzzy I know

ya know i live in bismarck north dakota and we have one or two of those pesky 03 cobras running around...mostly the ls1's rule the streets, but there are one or two honda civic hatchbacks around w/ a turbo the size of my head that would prolly make me look funny. the chevy guys hang out with the chevy guys here and the ford guys hang out with the ford guys. its a never ending war where i live, there is car drama every night, its impossible to escape. for how little bismarck is we still have our fun racing and shootin the **** ya know...but none of us (ls1 guys) have problems w/ mustangs, they are just another make of car w/ 8 cylinders that are trying to do the same thing that we are and that is trying to make our cars fast. but when you get the ford guys talkin 'cobra' they just dont shut up(where i live). i have respect for 03-04 cobras because you put a grand into that car and a grand that my car ( it already has a grand in it) and race he will make me look pretty funny. around here we have respect for the mustang, but not for the driver...i can tell that the guys with the 03-04 cobras i have talked to here on the message boards are not stuck up, i wish it would be more like this where i live. simply i have respect for the cobra! i kinda wish i had one in my driveway right now...but i still love my ta

Good way to look at the death.

It's all good. Because of the new Cobras, I bought a wet kit to add to a heads/cam/bolt on LS1. (Power adder = power adder)

It's not about falling down, it's about getting back up stronger than ever.

I thought that most Cobra guys were ****** but the two that I met last night wouldn't stop complementing on my car and how nice it was and how the have respect for LS1's. The black 03 that was there has a dyno just exactly like the guy above. There was a guy at our meet that had a 00' SS with an 402 swap. The Cobra guy said that the SS walked him like nothing everytime

Last xmas I went looking for a cobra but ended up just sticking a shortblock in mine. I've been kicking myself in the *** ever since. My buddy has quite a bit of money in his but he's making just under 700rwhp without the spray. It's a nasty little street car.

I think it's gotten to a point where the Chevy and the Ford guys get along better now then ever. I mean cause, c'mon, whether there is a bow tie or a blue oval on your car, we all hate fart cannons, ground effects and 16 year old douches in thier mom's civic with "NO FEAR" stickers and a glowing neon plastic shifter *****.

But man! Those cold air intakes give ya like 900 horse power! Vin Diesel is my hero. BTW anyone got a write-up on how I can hide nitrous in my passenger seat?
