I have a three friends who own 03 Cobras and they're all cool ppl. Every terminator owner I've met in person seems to be decent, they even gave me props for my car. But it seems most of them online are overly arrogant & complete @ssholes. Go to SVTP.com and you'll see what I'm talking about. Many of them have that Cobra > ANYTHING mentality and even bash the Machs and the older N/A Cobras. I find it hilarious to see some of them get bent out of shape if you dare call their SVT Cobra a Mustang. The only reason why I visit that forum is to check out the cool vids that are posted.
Anyways, I'd race a pullied Cobra for the hell of it. With my lighter weight and solid rear, I'd think it'd be a pretty good race. I just need better tires (DRs).

just saw a guy spend 8k for a 1.7 kb install, made 405 hp/tq tuned. seems like alot of money imo for the gain.
8k+ the initial cost of a 2000 gt for example, and your roughly at 20k. you can find 03's for 20 if you look. i paid 23 for mine with 11k miles. you also get more out of the cobra's over the power.
i know comparing initial car costs is lame, i think this is pretty damn close in comparison though, especially if your just going to "beat a cobra". then you also take into affect your on the stock trans/clutch/rear/shortblock of the 2v.
just my opinion. im pissed at my cobra though so thats all i can bare to compliment them on.
Yeah, modding a 2V is very expensive, plus it can be a pain at times. I know my car has given me headaches, and often left me wondering why I didn't sell it for a terminator. But in the end, I'm very satisfied at how it turned out. Heavily modding a GT is one thing, but doing it while retaining its creature comforts and refinement is another. Despite the numerous mods and $$$ put into my car, it still drives like the day I drove it off the lot. No rattles, or minor quirks. When ppl look at my car, they think everything on it is factory OEM. And to think I'm not finished. I hope to have a 302 shortblock under the hood sometime.
Anyways, there's nothgin wrong with Cobra owners being proud (and rightfully so) to own possibly the best production Mustang ever -just as I'm proud to turn my once 205rwhp slug into a mean, yet refined street machine. But there's a fine line between that and pure arrogance.
Okay, I'm done rambling for the night
so true and i spoiled myself when i test drove an 04' Cobra a few months back
. 
Your will probably beat him...buy a 1.7 Kb and have Tim tune it to around 420. that would mean you guys would be a drivers race...Its not as hopeless as you think hehe.
Got some looks, good god I got tons of looks, HAHA!!
