Ford and the Cobra R

Power · 05-14-2001, 03:02 AM

I know this has been said a thousand times and I'll probably get some mild flames for it, but as much as I love Ford, why the hell can't they make that performance with AC and Radio.

I know its not a huge deal but does Ford really have that much trouble coming up with the technology to beat the Z06? I find that hard to believe, which leaves the fact that they choose not to. Any ideas on why??

I would buy the Cobra R over the Z06 anyday just because I'm loyal, but GM guys have a legitamate point when they say that for almost identical performance the corvette is much more comfortable and passenger friendly.

I'm going to go bury myself for about 3 days now....

cya........
