The Cobra is King?

Mercury · 10-23-2001, 01:06 PM

There are a few reasons why many choose the Cobra over the Saleen.

Performance....Saleens, Supercharged and Standard are 4.6 2V SOHC engines. Yes, the Supercharged ones can run Circles around a Cobra, but compare the price of a S281 and a Cobra.

Looks...Many consider the Saleen "Too Wild Looking". I dont but then again I like Wild Looking stuff, as long as its done tastefully.

The Standard 281 Saleen doesnt offer much more in performance over the stock GT. I believe the only thing diffrent is a Saleen Cat back exhaust and the computer. It comes to 10-15 HorsePower more than a stock GT.

Although they do have a improved suspension.

Lets see....If I were to go out and buy a 2001 Cobra...It would have to be PERFORMANCE RED. I love that color. Red is like my trademark. I think Perf. Red is the perfect shade red. Bright, Vibrant, not Dark or muted, shows the lines of the car real well. Not to bad about showing dirt. I JUST LOVE RED...RED.RED.

If anyone noticed, all of my cars are RED. They will continue to be so.
