I think I already said this, it's possible he didn't know when to shift, or wasn't that good at it.

I'm just saying it was insane. forget if it was SVT or not, I was racing a car over 120mph and a cop saw us. i got away. end of story.


just out of curiousity, would anyone here take a 2003 SVT cobra OVER a clk430, as a car to own? When I got my car, I had the option of the following:
2001 clk430 (bought)
2003 mustang SVT cobra
2001 BMW 330Ci
2001 Audi TT 225 hp

Of course I went with the benz (applause..) But I'm thinking of trading it in in the coming year (at least 6 months from now)
trying to keep it under $27,000
has to be a european car (BMW, Benz, Audi)
obviously going for used. performance is VERY important, looks are VERY important, gas mileage... NOT important (lol)

what should I look at?
I myself was in the same position and chose the Cobra. I would rather have an extremely fast car that can be easily moded to be 700+rwhp so that's what I went for.

In the end it all depends what you're looking for. A high horsepower dragster or comfy Euro sedan.

I hope nobody here runs into this 03 Cobra... Might have a little problem.

X2C Cobra

I think that's the point he was trying to make.... Also it could have been a 2001 SVT Cobra vs. a 2003 they look very simular.

Either way good job and try not to race on the streets anymore, even though he started it.
