Or not wild enough?
If you meet at a stoplight, you may feel the compulsion to compare it.RiceEaterFordBeater said:you cant compare a svt cobra to a gto, .

if you got an 05 goat and cant beat an 05 rustang gt you shouldnt be driving a gto. off the bat the 05 gto has 100 hp more than a rustang and with manufacturer specs you have 6 tenths of a second better acceleration to 60 and a higher top speed
RiceEaterFordBeater said:you cant compare a svt cobra to a gto, for starters the cobra comes with a blower and if you take that away the car gives even more disgrace to the name muscle car. the interior is bland and not even close to the comfort of a goat. power wise you slap a blower on a goat to compare the 2 and the goat blows away the best of "ordinary" cars (non supercars ie ford gt, saleen s7, etc.) with a manual, shifting is a pain in the @$$. the car has much less room than a gto for hauling groceries and it is sad that the trunk of a gto is actually bigger than a cobra convert.
But who prefers the sound of a hairdryer under your hood to the sweet note of an LS2 at WOT. :seeya:jterp said:![]()
C'mon man. We can all see where your blind loyalty lies, but let's call a spade a spade. The '04 cobras run really well -- who cares what happens if you take away the blower? Why would anyone take away the blower?
They have 390 hp stock, 1 $7 pulley mod adds about 60hp. Plus, they are lighter than the goat. Stock for stock, an '04 cobra and an '05 goat would be a good race. If you put that $7 part on the cobra, it will take $6000 worth of forced induction mods for the goat to keep up.
Believe it or not the blown Cobras are only about 40lbs lighter than a 6M Goat (That's because they had to use an iron block to withstand the stresses). That's why stock vs. stock the '05 and the 'stang are fairly even. The pulley upgrade is indeed a cheap and effective mod, but that's what you get with FI.jterp said:![]()

2005 GTO stats (some I've seen are projected but nonetheless I don't consider it slow)GTOMAN said:Yes the GTO is more comfortable and why ----- because-------more and more retired people are buying them there made for comfort not speed and that extra 100 hp that still dont do anything still get the old people to the store faster to get there pills
So the car has to feel like a cheap, K-mart quality lounge chair for you to appreciate it's performance? An M3 may lose to a blown cobra in the 1/4, but no one would seriously consider comparing the two and calling the 'stang a better vehicle. Tons of Ferraris and Porsches get purchased by doctors and lawyers, so what's your point?GTOMAN said:Yes the GTO is more comfortable and why ----- because-------more and more retired people are buying them there made for comfort not speed and that extra 100 hp that still dont do anything still get the old people to the store faster to get there pills
Normally I wouldn't but how many believe that "GTOMAN" is not the sharpest knife in the drawer? What a retard.GTOMAN said:Yes the GTO is more comfortable and why ----- because-------more and more retired people are buying them there made for comfort not speed and that extra 100 hp that still dont do anything still get the old people to the store faster to get there pills
