Last I checked a 350z on a road circuit will more than handle a Cobra. Based on your posts you have a history with built Stangs, as do I. I'm telling you for a fact, even with the IRS brace, the Cobra is only good for straight lines. Hell almost all Mustangs are until the new 5.0 which is in a category of its own.
You can point away the money argument all you want, its irrelevant, I could get a CRX throw in a built spoon engine run a 200 shot and blow a Cobra's doors off at far less than $17k. A turbo charged z34 or s/c z34 will take a Cobra even a whippled one in a straight light however throw a turn in there and a small margin of victory on a drag strip will turn into bus lengths on a road course. The Cobra is nose heavy, the suspension is crap why do you think the IRS never carried over and if your friend financed all or part of the $17k it means in the long run he pays more than $17k and got ripped off, end of story. Now stop making me trash the Cobra bc I love that car more than any mustang to ever see the road during my lifetime, I'm just not delusional.
