the only kind of roads an S2000 can keep up to even a pre-03 Cobra is one where no acceleration is required. This fantasy where an S2000 can out-drive a Cobra is just that, a fantasy. Keep fiddling, Nero.

Two things about Cobras I don't like - yes they are rather popular and "it's a Mustang" which means there are lots of high school 'dady's girls' running around in lesser models. No thanks.

Also, the handling issue. Going fast in a straight line is fine, but I'm not driving for a pissing contest. I want to go out in the country where no one is around and drive like a fugging bat out of hell. When was the last time you saw a bat fly in a straight line?

When was the last time I even saw a bat? I don't think I've seen one in person.

Look...I'll always give a car credit where it deserves it. I give the Cobra credit for being powerful and fast in a straight line. Besides that, it doesn't have much going for it. Rustangs are generally known as pieces of crap, and I also think that's true.

It is very hard to argue the car is a solid performer for the money. I mean, $36K for 390HP with 390Ft pounds of Torque? Decent suspension and Brakes to boot. Not a bad deal.

Yes, the interior is typical Ford styling but the car performs quite well in its segment. But what do you care about the interior? All you will ever see is it's tailights?

I had a modded one take me to school in a high speed drag race. Fast car..
