However, regardless, that is not the reason for the post. I love my blue oval as much as the next (interior and design quality comes to my mind first for Ford above all other domestic contenders), however after taking a ride in a 98 Z28 t-tops putting down 400 to the wheels (and, yes, I saw the dyno sheet!) with nothing more than a few thousand in modifications installed at a local shop, I seriously don't understand why people put too much emphasis on the Cobra's supercharged 4.6L vs the GM naturally aspirated 5.7L LS1.
Perhaps when the Cobra's go into preowned and drop about 15 grand from their fair market value (which they won't for probably another good 10 years since the 03 and 04's SVT's mean the end of a model generation) then I'll start appreciating something that's within my reach of affording.
BTW, no disrespect intended for those on this board who own Cobra's; if you've got the $$$, spend it!

Why are you saying supercharged compared to N/A? There is a reason they didnt use force induction. You can say well if a Camaro slaps on a supercharger then it would be the end for the Cobra. Well, then the Cobra can slap on a Kenne Bell for the same price and easily put down over 600 RWHP. So whatever the LS1 can do the Cobra can. Plus the Cobra's bottom end can handle much more. I can go on and on about the Cobra, but it seems we all have our own opinion. This will turn into a whole GM vs Ford ordeal. So I'll shut up now.
