Cool, car that goes for about 20K over sticker and still has a fugly set of wheels and shi*%y suspension. On top of that, it doesn't look nearly as good as some of the Roush and saleen models available. I understand it has an insane amount of HP but I still can't see that this alone would justify the price. I'm sorry but I still don't see what all the buzz is about.

Are you insane? Roush and saleen make some of the UGLIEST cars out there. yes, they are going for way over sticker price...but it will come down in a little while. It is the whole "gotta have the first one" syndrome. And I think they should just stick with the stock rims. Good enough.

Definitely not insane

Obviously you have no taste. You need to go for a ride in one of these or drive one. Then come talk [censored] about it!!

the owner of that particular Cobra was in the Ford Powerlease program. if you leased a terminator you were guaranted a Shelby......at sticker price! he got his for $46k! (signed by Shelby too) from Galpin Ford which supposedly has/had one for $105k!

so lets see, a 500 hp Cobra with 6spd tremec trans and other goodies. OR a 325hp Saleen with a bunch of plasticky crap tacked on for $55k. also Roush stage 1. same thing with the terminators. $35k for 390hp s/c IRS 6spd yada yada or base model S281 or ROush. dont get me wrong, i LOVE Roush mustangs, but you get more bang for your buck with Cobras. no one is forcing these people to buy these things at gouged prices. once theyre all over the place at sticker, these first buyers will realize they were suckered.

Nce comment, I have no taste because I don't like a car that you do. No need to drive one, I know exactly what to expect. You can extremely fast in a straight line and then eat shat when you hit a corner because the suspension needs work. But hey, you should expect to have to pay for a new suspension when you're shelling out 40k for a new car. Oh wait, 60k for now because most tools are under the impression this is going to be a collector car. Maybe someone should tell BMW that they can save their company some money by putting a POS suspension on their M series cars. We can argue about this all day long just like in other posts but at the end of the day, I still think the car is bland and had so much more potential. Oh btw, I do drive a contour which I'm assuming you do as well so think about your "no taste" comment for a minute.

You argue that the cobra has a [censored] suspension and needs work to stay with cars such as the M3 in the corners... Guess what sweethart, The M3 needs engine and powertrain mods to keep up with the Cobra..
