between the two...
i was driving the snake.
the lx is all about torque!
gobs of low-end grunt that climbs to an early crescendo...
the dohc has nothing until boost comes on around 3k, and starts to get really interesting about the time you are ready to shift @6.7k. I truly think it needs a 75-shot of nitrous to get it moving off the line. I'd sure want forged internals before testing the limits of the 4.6
my lx is built to go in a straight line, with skinnies and no sway bar, etc. the cobra is built to corner, but works pretty well in a straight line.
the cobra drives like it is glued to my butt.
the lx is like riding a wild stallion. hard work.
