I saw a Mustang Cobra at a track day once. He was modded, had big brakes and R-Comps. He was pulling away from my Z06 on the straights. He was ahead of my by about 300 yards going into Turn 1. I almost rear ended him in Turn 2 becuse I thought he would have been gone already.

I was on street tires, and stock brakes, with a BONE stock driveline.
Hah - yeah, I really don't think too highly of the Cobra's except for straight line.

Some people just want to believe what they want to believe.

I have NEVER seen the attraction to the "Muff-stains."
If I was still in Fort Suck, I'd probably have gotten a new Mustang GT500 just so I had a straight line car... not perfect, but I like the look of the new ones, and it's hard to argue with the straight line power of a supercharged V8.


Of course, stock, a C6 is faster.

People have a hard time accepting criticism of their purchases. The Evo guys are horrible. SRT4 guys are worse.
I'll be the first to tell you that an Evo is a horrible purchase... but that might be cause I'm die hard Honda fanatic. I just don't see how someone who says they're a car enthusiast can be so close minded.

I don't really think much of "straight line" performance.

What's you guys input on the Ford GT? I heard straight line and handling capabilities are amazing, just personally think it's hideous looking.
