I agree with the magazine's (and TV show's) statement. The build quality and material quality is going to be less than the Z06 and M3 and the owners will not care. The owners (in Detroit) will not care about that because most people in Detroit care about (the potential for) going fast in a straight line. They just don't find the value in spending a little more to get a little refinement and build quality.
Well said Aaron
Maybe someone should spend more time in QC and less time in the seat. I mean I gotta say the only reason I bought the CSVT over the M3 was price because build quality is important to me. I mean when it comes to "fit and finish" I bet the underhood, undertrunk and drip rails in the trunk are painted in the M3 and yes I do care about that. Do you think BMW would have went with a lesser 6 cyl in their performance car like Ford/SVT did
No way in hell, so once again some people do care about quality control and thought about what the heck is going into its products...BMW
I may not have the seatime, inside info, etc but I do have my opinion and the Cobra will not surpass the Z06 in any catagory except price. Also lets remember that were comparing the top cars here too, because others will say that the Cobra will beat the base C5, do we wanna compare the stock C5 w/ 350 hp to the base Stang GT...I think not :p
Pretty much sums that up.
