hey guys the word on the cobra is it is not built or " engineered" by the same people as the gt. the last cobra that was engineered by the same people as the mustang was the 93 and guess how many problems that car has?/??? ZERO. lemme say that again:ZERO. the cobra has been such a huge let down for everyone including ford themselves that yes they really don't know what to do with the car. i read in b.o.n that the head of powertrain is entertaining the idea of bringing back the 5.0 because the cobra is the laughing stock of performance. the new cobra was tested out at the bondurant school in phx and i could not believe my eyes when those stock 5.0 gt's were neck and neck with the new cobra. the cobra couldn't go three laps and it was done. 5 different ones later and the same result. the motor is not the only problem: the rear ends over heat also. big time man. the vibration complaint is also not knew and is also a defect as well as a noise from the rear end area. i'm sure the corvette boys take one good look at the "IRS" and laugh out loud as they should.
