New stangs are TOO fast!
man...I hated to see this day but...those new stangs (mach 1 and svt cobra) are too quick! I mean come on...a super charger, 6 speed and 390hp stock. As much as I would love to hand one his ***, I am not sure I can do it anymore. Anyone else out there had experiences with really, really fast stangs out there?

Yea, I've had my *** handed to me by a turbocharged fox body GT on more than one occasion. of course, 596 ft. lbs. of torque to the wheels will do that to you.

bah..gimme some time with the LS1 
. I like a qoute in someone's sig on LS1.com..it states
"Motor Trend: "We feel bad for the camaro SS driver who mistakes a '03 cobra for a '01 cobra"
"I feel bad for the 03' cobra owner who mistakes my car for a stock camaro SS" "
No car is unbeatable. Just keep modding and they'll be in the rearview before you know it.

Yes, I have my answer to the '03 Cobra, it's called a set of Pro Topline Lightning's, and a Procharger.

Yeah, for 2004. I wish they kept the Mach 1 as a model to fill the gap between the Cobra and the GT. The gap is getting big now.
As for the Boss, are they going with Boss 281, or are they gonna bore the 4.6L out to 5.0 liters and give us a throwback Boss 302?

I'd like to see them bring back the Boss 302. I think it would sell.

If I hadn't done all the work to my car I would rather have a TTA also!
Ya, but the 88 was speed density (unless yours is from Cal.) and mine is Mass Air equipped.
No, I wouldn't trade, I have way too much fun racing in my Mustang club and I wouldn't trade that for a new Z06!!

SD cars were faster stock.
I have a conversion sitting on the shelf if I ever need it.
Sounds like a nice car, since you enjoy it so much, thats really what its allabout.

Sell a TTA for a 03' cobra? You're tapped in the head my man tapped in the head...The rarity alone makes it something extremely special. I'd never sell my firehawk for a 03' cobra. It'll be a car some day that people will say "man look at that thing..that's a real muscle car". How many supercharged cobra's do you think they're gonna make from here on out..? Tons..

Well, up here, they don't go for less than $65-70$ thousand. So they're pretty scarce. I have yet to see one or hear of one that someone has seen. With a price tag like that, not any ordinary Joe can go and pick one up, so odds are that whoever does buy one, probably won't mod it to much and if they do get mid 11's... Well 12lbs boost on the 383 should work out quite nice.

I ordered my whisper lid this week and hopefully i'll be able to snag 5.0 mustang's drag radials off him next week and go back to the track and hope for some 12.9's. I think I can do it.

Where I live you can't test drive a Vette or a Camaro unless you put a $5000 down payment on it. When my dad was looking for a new LS1 he couldn't drive the SS they had, but another dealer let him drive their Formula without any problems (go figure)!
Around here Vettes go for 38,000-55,000, the new LS1 Camaros and Birds went (not many left) for 25,000-35,000, and the new Cobras run from 35,000-40,000 if you can find an SVT dealer nearby!
