bluemustang · 01-23-2005, 01:37 PM

I dunno if a pic has been posted I know the info has but heres a pic of the bad boy. I think I just may start saving my pennies

Details:

- 465HP, 6-speed manual running in the low 12's with a trap speed of 120mph!

- You choose the rear suspension set up, either IRS or Solid Rear Axle with the IRS apparently pulling over 1.0g in the corners...

- The Price... in and around 30k.

Motor: 5.4 Supercharged, 3 valve heads (with HUGE valves), forged internals similar to the 4.6 (Crank, rods, etc), modestly rated (under rated actually) ~465 HP/495 lb ft Torque, using a twin screw S/C

awesome, I rode in a 2002 z06 corvette like a week ago (because my uncle just got one for really cheap) with 405hp and I was like omg thats fast, that cobra has 60 more horses and is costs around 20k less (when that vette was new)....

STEVE · 01-23-2005, 02:07 PM

isn't a corvette a lot lighter than a cobra though? And you're also comparing a 2002 against a 2007, already the new zo6 has 500hp i think and i believe the new one is supposed to weigh 2900lbs, that's nothing! I hate to say it on this board but i don't think a cobra will ever be zo6 territory. (comparing same year same mods)

dude the corvette is like 20k more
ford would be able to slaughter the corvette with a 50k cobra

19ClearCobra96 · 01-23-2005, 02:17 PM

that is hella nice I'll be getting one as soon as I can afford it

fast64 · 01-23-2005, 02:18 PM

that thing is sick! i graduate college in 2009 and if i get a full ride for all 4 years my dad is gonna buy me a car ($25k or less) so i bet i could pick up a 07 w/ a bunch of
mods for around that price. even though i am $9k short of a full ride as of now.....

and to red herring: i bet if you had $50k to buy and mod a brand new cobra and $50k to buy and mod a brand new z06 the cobra would be faster in the 1320

if that's the case why didn't you get a busted ass civic and do an engine swap for less than the cars you have now with mods? It'd be faster. i don't know aboutu a 64 but 232 stang could have a faster car for the money, so why do you have a mustang? You think people who can afford corvettes care? And really i'd have the corvette over the cobra for looks, style, handling, and just cause i like corvettes better. Probably anyone in here could have had a faster car but we all have our cars instead, why do you think that is?

Right answer, I like cobras, but I like corvette zo6's better, and the two don't compare. But that's off topic...we'll stay with the 2007 cobra here

MonteCitan · 01-23-2005, 02:56 PM

I'd hit it, that's for sure

Dark02Pony · 01-23-2005, 02:56 PM

lowflyn · 01-23-2005, 03:07 PM

You can expect to see one in my garage...in about 20 years...

red herring · 01-23-2005, 03:09 PM

I posted this in another thread a while ago, but here is the new 2007 gr-1 (someone on here told me that's what it is, in all reality I didn't know when I saw it). This was at the la auto show next to the new saleen mustang

WhiteStang99 · 01-23-2005, 05:45 PM

that Cobra is h4wt!

**SpectorV** · 01-23-2005, 06:46 PM

they will never make it like they want to, the damn penny pinchers will cut everything they can get away with.

01mineralgrey6 · 01-23-2005, 07:10 PM

Nice

timpryor · 01-23-2005, 08:10 PM

It's supposed to be available in auto too

I'll take one
Black-Auto-Solid rear axle-----------------Drag Racer

Sonic blue-6 Spd-IRS---------------------Road Racer

fast64 · 01-23-2005, 08:12 PM

Dark02Pony · 01-23-2005, 08:37 PM

Aren't the real drag cars manual? I thought I saw something on them on speed channel and the guy had a transmission(s) that was built such that he had to pull a different lever each time he wanted to shift a gear.

Seph · 01-24-2005, 02:34 AM

I was told they weren't going to call them Cobras but Shelby models..

19ClearCobra96 · 01-24-2005, 12:38 PM

THey shouldnt make a atuo because arent they supposed to be kinda rare, and if they make autos then they wont be that rare because they will make double what theyed make with manual only

I think that is great. produce more Cobras and the demand goes down and so does the "Jack the customers" price they have always put on the Cobra.

You know the Z-28 and the SS were not limited production. They are everywhere killing Cobras everywhere and they are not even made anymore. I dont think the Cobra needs to be limited. Thats what they got the Ford GT for

19ClearCobra96 · 01-24-2005, 01:15 PM

You have a good point corey but I just like owning a car that is somewhat hard to come by, but is still a car that more than a few people can afford, unlike the GT which is like millionaire status.
