I’m not really sure what the rating was for the 93 cobra but I thought it was like 255hp. I do know that in 94 the hp went down and the weight of the car went up. They both had the 5.0 but with the different intake configuration the 94 lost some hp’s. I do like the car and with the high flow cat’s and x pipe with flowmaster mufflers on it, it sounds great. In my opinion though the civic is so much more nimble and much more fun to drive in traffic. Plus it gets 28 mpg in the city and my cobra gets 18.
I would like to buy an L but I would need to sell one of my vehicles (the cobra I think). I’m in the USAF and I’m waiting to see if my squadron is called upon to go to the desert. I just don’t want to start an other bill right before I have to go. I’m just going to play the waiting game and when this is over, then I think I will go for it.

 

Well, the Si is truly a fun car...I can attest to that but I would not get rid of the cobra for an L and thats just my opinion. with a little supsension work and some aluminum heads, cam, etc. they can be made to be very fast, very easy. Or for that matter throw a vortech on it and have a blast. The 5.0 is a damn strong motor (500 HP is considered the limit on a stock block) that won't blow plugs by the way, hehe and parts are plentiful and dirt cheap.
