I used to see that in this gold color on 100E every saturday when I went to work around 2:30. I remember him smoking my friends 480hp STI from a 30 mph roll and he gave a thumbs up aftwerwards. BUT it had 1 single exhaust right in the middle, not 2 like in the pics. Had chromed out rims too if I remember right with 5 or 15% tints. Havent seen it since winter started, guess its hibernating. Scary cars..

Very nice car. If I had the chips, I might have gotten that over the G.

ive driven a friends 475whp SVT cobra couple of times, those things are pretty 1 dimensional, fast as heck on a straight line, but handles pretty bad.
extensive body roll, slow steering response, bad weight distribution. the new up coming SVT cobra will still have a single-live rear axel setup.

The Saleen is a sweet looking ride w/a lot of HP, but would yall choose it over a C6 vette. The price of the Saleem is comparable to the C6 convertible. The C6 is a more refined car. The Saleen is more rare.

The Saleen has 400 hp the Cobra will be 500.I don't know the cost .The Saleen kit looks much better than the cobra.The car looks heavy.All the saleens and cobras have dual exhaust one pipe may have been a kit only.

i dont think cobra hp has been set yet, and i highly doubt it will be 500. reason being the stock GT engine is making 300, a 200 bump from a factory super charger is too much. also, the cobra is not going to be as powerful as the Z06. im guess 450hp.
