If the Cobra had a automatic.......

I just went to the dealer to look at the sonic blue (hated it) and the dark grey (it's ok, red is still the fastest looking color) since I'm ordering a new 03 L tomorrow. They have a 03 Cobra and it is SWEEEET. I just don't think I want to do all that shifting, no way to haul anything, etc.

By the way, the salesman was very smart. He said the Cobra was TWICE as fast as a Lightning. He said if both were stock the L would only be at half track when the Cobra crossed the finish line. Oh, he also said THIS (03 )Cobra would be worth $50,000.00 twenty years from now. I told him "not if I buy it, I put 25,000 miles a year on my car". He said that would not make any difference. He said the only car in the world faster than a Cobra is the Cobra R. I sure am glad I went by there.....I learned alot! F'ing dumba$$!

Auto would be cool but listen to the Eaton in the video where JL runs 11.20 is his. He launched is perfect and the whine sounded so good!!

I don't think the 4R70W would like that too much(atleast if Ford built it). They sure as hell aren't gonna put a 4R100 behind it. Oh well a stick is nice but I don't think I would want one for everyday. I can also throw my quad in the back of my Lightning, tow my jetski with it and tow my Buick with it. Do that with a Cobra. -Mat-

i think the t56 is much more fun but i wish they would do a package like solid rear axel and a modded c6 of some sort...although the 4r100 wouldn't fit

The automatic is NOT in yet it is being built as we speak...to get an AOD to handle the kind of power we are gonna make with this thing is MAJOR $$$$$$$$$ ( about twice the price of Gregs monsterbox!!!)

We could of went with a c4 but I really wanted overdrive so it would still be streetable

We just finished the swap from the IRS to an 8.8 rearend with a set of 4.10's. This thing is an animal now with the gear change, it had 3.55's.

In 1st & 2nd a light roll on BLOWS the tires away, in 3rd a medium roll on does the same

And I dont have the nitrous hooked up yet

LOL. That funny ****. I have a video of me racing my buddies brand new stock 03 Cobra Vs my stock 02 Lightning. We bought our vehicles about 3 days apart. He beat me by 2/10ths or 2 car lengths.
