Default Hey There

I wanted to ask to fellow 03-04 cobra owners if they missed their cars. I love my 2005 C6 i just bought, I like how smoth it is and the technology it has, i love it but after going to couple of car events and riding in my buddys cobra and racing him in the track, which was pretty much even i won by like fender and he only has Intake on the cobra. I forgot the times but it was close.

Never had a Cobra but I came from a GT. I love the C6 maybe someday I will own both but right now the Mustang just doesn't fit my needs with the wheelchair and all.

Go to an auto-x or HPDE and you'll forget about cobras.

I never had a Cobra, but I sold my 2003 Saleen Mustang to get my C6. I will never go back to a Mustang after owning my Corvette.

I owned a Cobra once, I had completely forgot about it until I read this post. I must admit the exhaust sound from the factory is one of the best sounding. Man has this ruined my day.

Default Cobra was a Brute

I miss the rudeness and loudness of the Cobra, sometimes. My '05 C6 is much more sophisticated and quieter, yet handles better and can outrun the Cobra.

Interesting sidenote: The Cobra got more attention from young women (not that I need that, being happily married). That just proves the Mustang really is a chick car.

Had a 96 Cobra. My first sports car. I miss it for sentimental reasons, but my C6 keeps me from missing it beyond that...
