The reason I bought mine over an F-body was the fact that the car was a cream puff. It was a 40k miles 99 Cobra white/tan convertible. It was bought at my dealer new and serviced there its whole life. It was clean enough to eat off and I got it for a song. There is no way I could have driven an F-body as hard and as a DD and put as many miles on it and sold it for what I sold my Cobra for. Plus I am married and my wife did not like driving the F-bodies we test drove but she loved the Cobra.

Ride and Handling wise, the Cobra just flat out drove better with the IRS. Plus the fact that its by far one of the few cars that drives right up to and over the limit so benignly.

And this part is overlooked but the way a Cobra sounds with Bassani LT's, X pipe and Borla Race catback is something that makes even the most jaded drivers give you the thumbs up. Muscle car sound at idle and low rpm under load and exotic car sound at redline.

The only reason that I would buy a Mustang is because with some Cobra R's and dropped a little, they look damn sexy. But then I remember that it gets no sexier than a WS6 and slap myself for thinking about a Mustang.

I love high rpm and now even though I don't have some high tech DOHC engine I only lost about 200 rpm.

Sounds like a 99 Z with 2.73's put it back to bed

Nah it went to bed with stock 3.27's, but it will go back to bed when i put 3.42s in my car again.

Then the cobras you ran were running REALLY shitty. I have never trapped less than 100 in my bone stock 97 Cobra.

Um... no that car had stock 3.27s.

Sounds like a fine choice to me might be a little slower than a F-body in a straight line but those IRS cars are crazy in the twisties.

germeezy1

Yeah it was a pretty amazing handling car, for what is basically a Ford Fairmont in drag

And I mod everything I drive so I knew when I was done it would be a faster car than stock.

Maybe, but I raced probably 10+ of them so that makes for a lot of shitty cobra's. Mind you i'm at 4400' here so that will schew the traps.

germeezy1

Well a FI car would have less power loss at 4400'

Irunelevens

Yeah, a FI car runs WAY better at higher altitudes than an N/A car.

I think they look good with the factory 96 97 wheels too. Here is my friends 96.

I hate those rims. My cousins 96 looked just like that when he bought it. Luckily he was able to find some Cobra R's for damn cheap since my other friend had just totaled his 95 Cobra. Either way, your Camaro in your sig looks way better. I love the ZR-1 rims on Camaros. It's kinda makin me want to get another Camaro instead of a T/A.

My Cobra was alot of fun I had 275's all around and even now having a C5 I still loved the handling of that car. I haven't even began to get comfortable enough with the C5 to grab it by the scruff of the neck like I did that Cobra.
Most freeway onramps were taken like I was in Tokyo drift in that car!

He lost. You won. No argument necessary. Good kill on what was obviously a pretty quick car.

Good kill. They are a high 13 sec. car at best. I use to own a 98 Cobra, and can say that it didn't have the kick of an LS1, not to mention it's super weak transmission (Had it replaced twice).

It is better but the altitude still held me back. I mentioned it more for the people questioning why I beat Cobras only trapping 94ish.
