i think the goat is a good bang for the buck... but i guess i'm just biased... how much can you get a 04 terminator with 12k on the clock in absolutely showroom condition?

and I must say, your interior is more upclass than mine imo.

[OneSlow5pt0]

cobras are nice.but stock for stock when new........corvettes have always been great cars for the money

even though i hate mustangs with a passion,the cobra is a great car.........even if id rather have a slower 02 Trans Am

[MR.EM1]

Man... if I said I only raced for 10k there would be 20 threads on 4 different forums pop up about what a ***** I was. You guys are letting Johnny Tran off too easy.

lolumad?

[ragnarok82]

There is no real answer to this "discussion" because everyone buys different types of cars for different types of reason. Someone would rather have an awd car over a fwd if they lived in a place that would get snow blizzards 2 or 4 times a year. Wouldn't you? An Srt-4 isn't a bad car, it's cheap and can be made pretty quick with minor bolt ons. Still, don't you hate it when you can't put the back windows down while you're sitting in the driver seat? Must be a pain to have to manually do it everytime. Evos are great cars too, fast from the factory and way better balanced than the Srt-4, period.

As a side note. You can buy these cars for 20k or less now a days. They're both awesome "bang for your buck" cars, imo.

that has to be the dumbest argument I've ever heard. I mean I know whenever I go looking for a new car I make sure the rear windows are power because I might get the urge to roll the rear windows down while driving.

the rear windows only roll down 6 inches btw. But I'm sure you knew that.

[ILOVEKIDDRACING]

and I must say, your interior is more upclass than mine imo.

Not even in the same ballpark really.

I test drove more cobras than I could count. I loved the power I just couldn't get over how plastic and cheap feeling the interior was. Everytime I power shifted I could hear plastic crackle around in the interior. I had enough of that from my Camaro already.

[SicStang03]

I agree.. Goats have nice interior... They had to have some reason to jack the price up


I just really like the cobras seats

Funny considering a Cobras MSRP was higher than the Goats.

Wonder why ford jacked the price up on those? All that plastic must have been expensive.

and yet they discontinued your so called cheap goat... hmm... puzzling?

[ILOVEKIDDRACING]

They discontinued the Cobra in 04 also.

They discontinued the Supra in 1998.

They discontinued the skyline.

They discontinued the Camaro / Firebird.

They discontinued the Chevelle.

All of those cars must have been ****. Everyone of them.

Hell they even discontinued the Corvette for 83.

hmmm.... Thacker brings up a good point.

[The Creeper]

they never discontinued the gto, it was only planned to be out in 2004-2006 newb. Holden already had a new platform in mind.

the GT500 is the new Cobra. Its not discontinued.

The reason for discontinuing the Supra is because Toyota couldnt justify selling a $60k car under the Toyota name....but that was back in 98. Lots of rumors have been going around about a new Supra.

The G35 was the Skyline in Japan and Europe, and they dont call the new GTR the R35 for nothing.

The camaro/firebird got discontinued because Mustangs were trouncing them in the sales department. Not to mention they are coming back out...though I know you are fully aware of that fanboy.

As for the Chevelle, I dont know about that one.

Nice try....1 out of 5 aint bad...

How was the bold part a dumb argument? Do you even know what an argument is? Apparently not. Seeing as how it was a simple observation that I decided to throw out there. I mean, it's true right? Waa, cry about it all you want but you know it is.

Why would you even respond to only that small part of my post and not the rest? Do you own a Neon? Did you get offended? Should I call the Waabulance?

the rear windows only roll down 6 inches btw. But I'm sure you knew that.
It doesn't matter if they only roll down 6 inches. That's not the point. The point is that you need to 'manually' operate them to have them rolled down. Your speaking privileges have just been revoked. Don't respond til you redeem yourself.

Again. The bottom line is that the Evo is better than an Srt-4. End of story.

[4drZ06]

in my defense! haha =p.... 2004 z06= 3200lbsish and 26-30k with low miles... ls6 405hp....
2004 cts-v 3800lbsish 4 doors, trunk,room for honeys, golf clubs,dead bodies and groceries... ls6 405hp ( i payed 24.5k with 26k miles and extended warranty)....http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/l...7/interior.jpg

hmm for 15k I'd hope it was a better car but thats besides the point. I responded to that small part because it was a stupid observation. Who the **** cares about rear windows. Except maybe some dumbass kid with pictures of 2 guys as his signature and a quote from a dumbass movie. But wait maybe there is some reason I should listen to your expert advice. or not

[DieselNuts]

well, the fact that the front windows are power and the rear are not is pretty gay. They should have at least had an option to get power rears...imo

[AnthonyF]

Nice Diesel. On 124? There arent 2 lanes on 124...Im confused. Oh well. Must be nice to have power. :'( I miss it. lolol

-Ant.

yeah, it is yeah, there are 2 lanes (in each direction) on 124. What are you confused about?

[AnthonyF]

....I've never seen more than one lane in each direction on Hwy 124...or is this a different 124....

LOL... by a couple hundred

The cobra is still the best bang for the buck... new or used

How many cars can you name that will run 10's with less than 25K invested... Obviously I am not talking about taking a shell and throwing a motor in it

Best bang for your buck for what? Because its definitely not drag racing... and last time I checked throwing a cobra around a road course was like watching a brick slide across ice.

Ford did two things right with those cars. Forged botton end, and a super charger.

Now, here are the things that are wrong.

Weak input shaft on the tremec t56

Infamous head problems. tick tick tick.

Weak ass glass like IRS.

WEIGHT.

Lack of cubic inches.

Interior. They share the exact same design, seating position, cheap ass materials as a v6 Mustang.

V6 Mustang.



Cobra




If you are judging how good a car is and "bang for the buck" simply by its straight line performance than a Cobra gets beat in that regard also.


How many cars will run 10's with less than 25k invested? TONS.

My camaro will run that with 8k invested over the purchase price.

Any of the LS motors are 10 second capable with bolt ons and a 150 shot and tires. That is about $3000 if they pay for all the labor and the tune.

The ONLY thing a cobra has going for it is the fact that you can throw a pulley on it, and make about 90 more RWHP than stock.Even then you are only looking at 117-120 traps at the track at mid 11's best to low 12's. Not really impressive IMO for 450ish RWHP. Other then that you are looking at an expensive blower port job, aftermarket blower etc. Once you get into that the Cobra's playing field evens out with any other car that was around its price range.
