Definitely not kidding. I think that body style mustang/cobra is ugly as all hell. It's a box with a few added lines on wheels. Atleast the F-bodies have some actual styling to them.

I love the way f-bodies look. I would take a Cobra if I could keep my Z28 too but never trade it in for one.

Yeah- stock rear ends- Ford built a car that can wreck that rear end stock- its the IRS setup- made for handling, not drag strip use.

I would still drive one, don't get me wrong- lots of horsepower potential for very little money, but I would prefer my Z since you can have a more 'sleeper' look a lot easier-

I can understand what ya'll are saying, but **** I would love to have one.

There is a guy in my city with a modified Cobra. Predator Tuning, smaller pulley, Steeda exhaust, etc. And for its 460 RWHP, it's a dyno-queen. It ran 11.9 in the quarter. A friend of mine with a 398 RWHP 383 LT1 in a 93 Z28 ran the same time... WITH A COLLAPSED LIFTER.

A Cobra is great if you think going from a roll is racing. But I don't. A race is from a stop.

People are too concerned these days with their peak dyno numbers. In all honesty, they're useless unless you've got the power under the curve to make 'em count.

I am sure RK would have been a dyno queen too- 476RWHP but with no rear end and slicks it would have ran a mid 11 too-

But dyno numbers are impressive either way- but so is a quick 1/4 mile time so it goes both ways I guess.

Well yes and no. It's like the argument import owners give that their DOHC engines are better because they have greater volumetic efficiency... but that is just a spec yanked from an engineer's notepad, they're useless if they don't translate to performance. Same with dyno numbers.
