Nice car...well any new car you drive seems automatically nicer. The car seems like a solid low 12 second car off of the showroom floor. Kind of mushy suspension, but that has been the case with all cobras (93+ and on). Still it does handle pretty half decent without much dive when pushing it into a turn (depends on if you know what your doing with the brakes). I do believe a pulley, tune, and perhaps a cat-back is all you will need for these cars (if keeping the stock blower). <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>venomous99</b> <br /><small>Member # 1917</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2008,8,11,15,9,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> i want to drive one but i cant imagine it being drastically faster than an 03 w/ a pulley. they do look bad ass though.. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>03SVTPower</b> <br /><small>Member # 518</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2008,8,11,16,5,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> This guy had to be stock, I just gave my car a quick blip and he was about a car and a half before i let off.
