Trust me, I totally understand the difference in feel. Might feel that way to some, but it's not actually behaving that way.

When I hop back and forth between my S2K and 5.0 there's quite an initial shock.

I love the bump-n-slide of the solid rear. As a passenger anyway.

Kiss the apex, slide to the outside a few inches. Every turn. Hahaha

Truth is truth. I can see from ur SN why u would try to defend it. The "bite" that is referred to the Stang is cuz the feel of it is entirely different as opposed to tuner cars and most end up spinning out a lot.
But as I said, on the flip side to an experienced Stang driver n professional drifter they seem to be awesome for drifting!

Sorry, but my SN has nothing to do with the car.

They are fun to drive.

There definitely is a lot of misinformation out there when it comes to IRS vs. SRA. Stealing a quote from Billy Johnson (Roush racing driver, s2ki.com poster):

Quote:
It's been said that the recent 'purist' viewpoint/train of thought has shifted the generally accepted consensus that IRS (Independent Rear Suspension) is superior to stick-axles when it is not necessarily true. While the camber gain and bumpsteer of IRS can edge out a stick-axle in peak mid-corner grip, it can become a disadvantage on entry and especially exit of corners. "The fastest accelerating cars in the world have stick-axles". By maintaining an even rear platform, stick-axles have inherent advantages that at the end of the day, can be as good if not better than an IRS. In many cases its harder to make an IRS work better than a stick-axle, pending rules of the series, which stick-axle design you are looking at, etc... But at the end of the day, in CTSCC, a ~stock geometry Mustang out handles and comes out of corners better than the E92 M3 but currently due to rules, the M3 outbrakes and has more power to out accelerate the Mustang on the top end.
Day in day out, do I prefer IRS? Sure. But I'm not going to write off SRA completely like many misinformed folks tend to. It helps actually having experience with the good ones!

Silly me. All this time i thought they were called gt500's... Side note: do people actually use "cool story bro" still? Takes me back to high school...

Anyways, great pick up! That's a whole lot of car from what i hear

They have the same emblems but they haven't carried the cobra name since 04.

Eh, I think when the GT500 came out, they used a lot of "The Snake is back" verbiage.

Anyway, I was merely pointing out that there are cobras all over the car, so being angry at people for referring to them as cobras is a little silly and obsessive.

I personally have never referred to the car as a 'Cobra' without the 'Shelby' prefix, just so we're all clear on which car I'm referring to. I have followed SVT and their products, and then the fast Fords after SVT stopped pumping them out (don't count the raptor...) since I was a wee lad, so I'm very familiar with the history.
