a great looking american muscle car. fun to drive and very fast with minor mods.turns many heads.a real bad car.the 4.6 dohc 32valve v-8 puts out 305 horse stock. witch makes the car capable of a 13.9 stock. it can easily get to 12s with few mods.i think this is the best car for the money out there. with no trouble.

Good...but not great

I thought centrifugal would pin me back against the seat when I floored it. Not quite. There was power and noise but there was also a Camry pulling away from me as I shifted. 305 horsepower without a lot of torque. My 2014 Genesis Sports Coupe has 278 horsepower and a turbo charger and it's only a 4-cylinder. It's great to say you own a Cobra...a little less great to drive it. Not bad...but not great.
