BTW: Ford will keep this car under 40K even if its 39,990.00 LOL. Base C6's start at 44K so you can bet Ford will not want to encroach to close to that number.

AdamantiumKnot said:Yeah, but even then you have to consider, braking, weight, aerodynamics, suspension and all the things that make a well rounded performance car
Cobra:
450 bhp
450 lb/ft tq (these are probably underrated i know, i know)
height: 55"
final drive: 3.31
front brakes: Brembo vented and cross-drilled disc, four-piston aluminum calipers 14"
rear brakes: Brembo vented and cross-drilled disc, two-piston calipers 13"
weight: they haven't given this yet, but it wouldn't suprise me if it was up around around 3700 lbs.
z06:
500 hp
475 lb/ft tq
height: 49"
final drive: 3.42
brakes: Vented & Cross Drilled Rotors w/6 Piston Calipers, ABS
weight: 3130 lbs
tires: 275/35ZR18
325/30ZR19
sure you can go and mod a cobra and crank out a lot of power, the cobra may be faster in the 1/4 than the z06 but what about around a track, and top speed? either way i'm really excited to see these cars hit the streets. another variable in all of this is the viper srt-10 coupe. i saw that this weekend and out of all of them i liked it the most.
bottom line, if you have enough money you can make any which one faster than the other. cause i know a lot of you will argue the point that you could invest the extra $25k+ into the cobra and be faster than the z06. i personally don't care too much to mod my car at this point, because as soon as i do i know the reliability will probably go down the tubes.
JAZ 5.0 said:Not only for straight line. I'm sure it will handle very well even though it's going back to solid rear axel. And to compare, well at that price range the closest thing would be the Vette. But for a minimum of $10K more for a Vette I don't think handling is worth that much. Plus, if you put any car that far the ground, it will handle better.
