All i have to say is dam that thing moves(almost as good as my car).
Was definetley impressed to say the least.
390hp my ass,ford definetley underated those things,the srt8's have 425hp and this cobra in stock form would eat one for lunch.
I'd buy it but i'm kinda short the 29grand they want for it on our used car lot LOL.
Here's apic of the shagy beast.
Those are nice. And $29K isn't even a bad deal, but you have to pay to play :(
Thats $29k canadian.. thats now bad for one.... I need 25K for one now
Less than a new GT. Nice deal.
yep they MOVE 159 top speed isnt bad either!
Wow very nicce
Hmmmm... I wonder what the monthly payments would be.....
i can guarantee to you that an srt8 charger is faster (stock for stock).
We have a SRT8 Jeep and I bet it will outrun a stock Cobra as well. Its 4wheel drive too which makes for a hell of a winter car. Its kind of like a Corvette with a real big trunk
^ I tell my mom every day that she should trade her '05 GC in on an SRT GC. Those things are friggin sweet.
i wanted my mom to get a srt8 jeep but she bought a matrix!
O the cobra's have around 400 stock thats it.
I would have to agree, however I never having test drove one somewhere, were you could really evaluate it, one searches for a reality check.

K for those of you that think any of the srt-8s can beat a stock cobra,you are sadly mistaken.
I work at a dealer and have driven them all to the extreme and they don't even compare to the raw torque that the cobra has.The srt-8s are BS for the prices they charge(there heavy to boot)and this cobra for half the price will as i said EAT THEM FOR LUNCH as will my TC.
Speaking from experience here guys not bs'n about driving them all.
here's a reality check for you... my best friend of 20 years bought a brand new, bone stock srt8 charger. another friend of ours has a low mileage 04 cobra. they raced... a lot. both at the track and on the street. the srt8 beat the cobra EVERY time. don't get me wrong, i'm a diehard ford fan, but there is no denying that the 6.1 is a BEAST. if you don't believe me, i'll see if my friend still has the video that has about 10 races on it.
and before you say that the cobra driver must not have know how to drive, i'll tell you now, that's not the case.
if you're basing your decision on price, then that's a whole other argument. we all know that the srt8's are about a $45-$50K car.
basing it on price and seat of the pants as well as driving both vehicles one after the other,srt8 doesn't stand a chance against the cobra or my TC.
Got some times off the net for ya
2004 Ford Mustang Cobra SVT 4.5/12.9
2005 Dodge Magnum SRT8 5.1/13.6 (C&D Sept '05)
2005 300c Standing 1/4-mile: 13.2 sec @ 109 mph c&d
And that's the extra seat of the pants feel.
Yes, it was a reality check the first time I saw that. I was shocked that Clarkson would tell his fans that he was racing a 4.6L V8 Mustang when in fact he had a single tail pipe, a complete lack of fogs and no GT emblem anywhere on the car. Meaning he was racing a V6 Munchtang. A V6 Convertible, no less. No wonder it got beaten by a horse.
i have no doubt that the cobra would beat the magnum, it's a boat of a car. same goes for the 300c, but i was talking about the charger. it weighs much less, and it is faster then an 04 cobra.
The charger is exactly the same as a 300c,same chassis same length interior and drivetrain,no weight differance.
Yeah i agree they are pretty much the same and the charger is pretty sweet but come on 4 door sedan kind of wrecks the original charger 2 doors and thats it like the good ol general lee
