it seems like the camaro forum guys, for the most part are reasonable and arent complete fanboys.

SOME of them are reasonable. Just like SOME of them are saying the Camaro will out-handle the Corvette and the 370z.

For the newer stangs, do they make corbra versions of them? Or is it just for 03 and 04.

I honestly don't know how they market it. I think I've seen one commercial for it over the last 4 years, and it was some teenager peeling out in a empty parking lot with his dad. With the way it sells, I would almost dare to say advertising is not necessary.

What a good debate...
I don't know if I want kids when I get married. Talking on that board gives me a headache and hurts when I see those posts. It's like talking to little high school kids.

I wouldn't even consider kids till I was like, 30. Since 30 is the new 20, there is no point rushing into s---. If you don't live enough before having kids, you may have regrets.

There were SVTs before the 03-04s, but they weren't all that fast. Maybe 14.3 in the 1/4 mile. I want kids. 2 for sure, maybe more if I can afford it. NONE of them will touch ANY of my cars!

I don't believe that at all. The Cobra was nearly indestructible. Now, people who dragged the car would swap out the IRS for an SRA, so I would assume people were breaking half-shafts, if anything, but all in all, the car was called a terminator for a reason.

Yeah, it's been so long since I remember hearing it, I didn't want to say it as fact. It would make sense that they would consistently break half shafts however. Still, a very mean car.

The 4.6 32valve motor that they put in those cars were FULLY BUILT! LOL! They put down loads of power and stayed completely reliable. Most just did the package deal (smaller S/C pullie, bigger innercooler, and tune) and did VERY good numbers. Fact is that those motors were great motors for making easy power. The 5.0 Fox bodies also had forged bottom ends! I'm pretty impressed with that stuff. (Although, a friend of mine with a bone-stock 5.0 just snapped the crank somehow. We're not sure how he did it.) I'd like to see GM come up with ANYTHING close to what the SVT 4.6L did. Problem is that GM cuts as many corners as possible. I used to be a GM fanboy, but now I can't stand them. I'd still love to own a '95 Zr1, but in the end, GM is a dead cause. If they pulled a 180 on their politics, got less greedy, spent more money on quality and less on design, and stopped getting lazy with their engineering, I'd like them again.

Has anybody seen the cam covers on the new Cobra? Says "powered by SVT" right on them. |

That interesting. I didn't know they did that. I knew SVT was still there, just didn't think they were doing anything for the Mustangs.
