...but I was driving my Honda Civic and not my Lightning.

It was a really nice looking yellow. Boy did it sound sinister.

Are you sure it was a 03 cobra? There's no way they released the 03's by now, its to early in the year anyway.

 

Chainsaw lives in the detroit area....it is entirely possible it was an '03.

 

Nice to know that they are out there. Did it have manufactors plates?

 

I'm willing to bet it did.

I raced a Cobra R with M-plates when I was in my Saleen last year on the way to the track...was a lot of fun.

 

yeah its entirely possible that he saw one i saw onenot to long ago at a roush parking lot. i see a lot of the protos around here in detroit

 

Soooo, let me get this straight.

SVT guys are out racing Honda Civics in a new S/C Cobra? C'mon....

 

Well Rich, how would you like to get beat, in your first race, with your brand-new hotrod?

 

Um, Civic....

 

Yes, we do have them running rampant in Dearborn. I was in one a few weeks ago . It was nice runnning the gears on a 6-speed. I wouldn't give up my Lightning if I had a choice between the two. Just something awesome about a supercharged truck!

 

So there is nothing special about a supercharged Mustang Cobra???

It's hard to belive thaqt they are out already even if you are up north...

It was just announced a little more than two months ago...

 

I'll be the first to ring the BS bell on this one. The 2002 SVT Focus hasn't even hit showrooms and the 2003 Cobra is all ready out there? Highly unlikely.
