Can someone link me to the Cobra R vs Z06 vs Viper shootout that was posted a while back?

Kind of a lame shootout. Obvious who'd get 3rd place - the Cobra isn't nearly as refined as the Z06 or the Viper. However, with < $2k in parts it could easily beat either car in the 1/4 :)

wow, the Cobra R only runs mid 13's?

I'll take a slightly slower 350Z for about the same price and get a nicer interior, better handling and fuel economy, and get all the stares from the ladies for about the same price :p

Did you even read the article? Obviously not. It's just a normal 03 Cobra. And Edmunds can't drive worth $hit - 03's are good for at least mid-high 12's. There's a large difference in speed between a Cobra and a 350z :p

better handling? Than what? Nothing in that article I'm afriad. Fuel economy? Take it :p The Vette gets high 20's for hiway MPG anyways. Stares from the ladies? You need em, Nissan Fanboy :p;) And just for the record, a 350 is much more than "slightly" slower than a 12 second Viper ;)
