You can swap in the Cobra's independent rear susp..........Course it will probably cost you $5-6K

And you'll still be stuck with the same too-high, bathtub-like interior

Must be talking about the 05+?

On the forums I would frequent it was always easy to find a 03/04 cobra looking to swap rear ends for cheap. They always wanted live axles and some lucky road racer always needed IRS.

Rather have a Hemi 'Cuda. Or even a 'Cuda with a 440. 1970 please. Plum Crazy Purple with a 4 speed.

glad you like it.. that is your opinion.. thanks for sharing.. doesn't mean it's my fucking opinion.. i think they took the old design made a few minor changes made it look more modern and copped out on coming up with something new.. big reason gm chokes on big donkey dicks and is going bankrupt.. they live too much in the past.. i am not impressed one bit..

Other than sort of looking like the old one, the car is nothing like the old.

Look at the new shit coming from across the pond.... hideous designs that look like a comic book cars. We all have our own opinions, but most everyone I've talked to like the design alot.
