This car is a blast to drive but now I want MORE ponies out of it. It's powerful yet VERY streetable. The only real problem I have to say is that it is undergeared. It needs 4.10's out back to make ME happy but I don't mind saving gas for now. 305 horses is fun, stable as a MoFo in corners, gets the looks...so what more can u ask for...except MORE horses!? =) Best of all, even when it's sitting still people gaze at it and compliment it because owning a Cobra is elite. Everybody and their dog goes and buys a Z28 so they are not special, there is just something about Cobras and their owners. Go get you ANY year Cobra and you'll see what I mean! =)

The writers of the review for this site are dead wrong!! "gets it's tail whipped by camaro/firebird"? There has not been 1 camaro/firebird or any other gm product that has out ran,outclassed, or even looked better than this car. I resent that statement and hope they live to eat those words. In the famous words of my father" drag that [violative content deleted] up to the line,and we'll see who has the better car"!Wait a min,just thought of something..was going to run a corvette Z06 and he broke before the burnout! hahahahahaha!

Have had his car since new. Mods started within 200 miles, springs, caster camber plates, flowmasters, etc. I've done everything to this car over the years and drive it a bit aggressively (3 speeding tickets). It was purchased to use as weekend driver/car show duty. Everything is chromed, polished, powder coated, painted/waxed and very clean. Old p600 procharger (with inner cooler), 75 shot NOS, DVD, Subs, upgraded stereo, race seats, no rear seats, Lambo doors, carbon fiber hood (same cobra style) interior done with real cobra snakeskin accents carbon fiber, polished billet, etc, etc, too much more to list. Bottom line never really had any problems with it, other than normal.
