Not just that but for what the cobra is, it handles great. Do your research skipper. These cars are worth every dime.
Personally I think your line of thinking is flawed.


The GT500 is a MUCH better Car than the SVT Cobra. The GT500 can produce wicked amounts of HP with just minor bolt ons... how much does a pulley swap yield on a Cobra?

AND your forgetting the big picture.

The SVT Cobra does one thing well, and thats go fast in a straight line. Dont give me crap about IRS making it handle any better. The Cobra is a straight line beast. And thats where it ends.

You buy a Corvette or a GT500, and you also have a car that is a straight line beast. Both are cars that take very well to mods and can put down some great times.

But what your also buying are cars that dont have dollartree interiors, and are more than one dimensional. The SVT would loose in any comparative category you would possibly be able to come up with, with the exception of drag times. Do the marginally better drag times from an SVT Cobra over modded Corvette's and GT500's make up for all the other shortcomings the car is plagued with? I dont think so.

I've always said if you want to put down sick drag times, or go 0-anything as fast as you can, you shouldn't be looking at cars. Go buy a street bike and call it a day. You buy a car for the whole package, and the whole package on an SVT cobra sucks.

SInce you cannot see the car, I assume you are talking about the sound. Put some electronic cut-outs on the SS and see what it sounds like......not too shabby.... I heard it this weekend, and I will be installing them.

You obviously think you know more than most people on here. Well you don't - If you had a brain you would first give a even comparison.

I have a couple of words that can hand you Cobra a** on a platter - Viper Venom - Sure its a dodge but its a way better ride and looks way better than the Cobra. If you want to talk HP also then go talk your game on the Vette net also and they will hand you and the viper an a** whip-pin from the good ol ZR-1 - Remember someone always has something faster but the Camaro SS has more looks, HP, and style for the buck than your GT.
