You forgot to metion the circuit track times, which the STi won!96cobra3949 said:My ship has a bunch of ricers on it that are jumping for joy because of Hot Rod magazine.They took an 03 vs a WRX and the WRX won by .01 but almost 9 mph slower.Now every WRX is going to be thinking they can beat a cobra. 13.3 @109 seems a little off for the cobra doesn't it?
Shut your whining and write to HOT ROD mag, so it will make you feel better.. You just have to give the credit where it's due.. Both cars are great, it's just the subbie are more all around car than the Cobra Mustang.. Let me ask you this, how about driving your mustang in a pile of snow? I thought so.silverbulletGT said:That was complete BS they are comparing apples and oranges. Im sick on everyone bagging on the 03. I have had allot of cars in my life including a 400hp turbo integra, Elipse GSX, Camaro, 5.0 Mustang. None have been as complete as my cobra. When my integra was on street tires I would lose to AWD cars with half the HP. Does that mean the AWD's were faster? NO. Think back to when Motortrend compared the 03 to the RX-8 and G35. The 03 came out last .Thats like comparing a lightning with an F350 and the F350 comes out on top. These cobras are designed to go fast in a straight line. They handle well straight out of the box, are comfortable, what more do these people want?
I dare an STI to try to run me from a role.

Ok, probably I was being a lil exaggerated, but it's just an all season car than a Cobra, right? I'm just pointing out that an STi is just an all around car, and pls don't give me that trap speed crap. If straight line is all you can do, that is just lame! Well, that's what Mustang can do after all.. Do you have any SCCA autox and open track experienced? You should try and participate some event.. It's fun! Just make sure you car can turn for ****.blk32V said:Hey, why would anyone want to drive their Mustang in a pile of snow?? IDIOT! I guess you Subbie drivers suck at driving thats why you need awd. What is your deal?!!? Give credit where credit is due, give me a break! Look at the trap speeds on both cars, you give credit where credit is due! BTW, its Mustang Cobra, not Cobra Mustang.
You don't have to be sorry, cause I'll throw a BS flag too! No way in the hell a stock WRX can trapped 100 mph in the 1/8th mile, total bs.. I dunno know if you are talking WRX or WRX STi..96cobra3949 said:It was kind of busy today so i did not get to read the whole article.I just saw the 1/4 numbers.I have duty tomorrow so i will read it then. IMHO Hot Rod has never been a "ford" magazine.They are partial to GM.Not all the time.But most.Not making excuses for the cobra.It the WRX won,it won.But 9 times out of 10 the cobra would win a 1/4 with a half way decent driver.My point was a 13.3 seems a little slow.That was all.The cobra is probably the most well rounded mustang ever produced.If i could afford it i would own one right now.But you know how the military pays.
There is a guy on ship wanting to race his new WRX against me.He said it trapped at 100 in the 1/8th.Bone stock.Sorry..i throw theon that one.Anyone know what they could do stock?As soon as the slicks arrive i will get some times posted for mine.

Freiburger said:We've been questioned a lot about the 13.3 time for the Cobra. It should be clarified that we ran on a 100-plus-degree day at LACR, which is 2,900 feet to begin with, and that the track was not prepped. Sorry.

Why you being so defensive man? "People who buy Cobras are into much more than lightweight, Ricing BS" Maybe I should rephrased that.... *People who buy Cobras are into much headache coming in and out of the shop, getting thier car fixed up and down*.. While the "ricing bs you called* are tearing up the track and having fun, without a single hiccups.. Tell me, what is pure rice about WRX? Is it because it's an import car? Do you have beef about imported stuff coming to your beloved USA soil? YOu guys will never learned, same ol Dumbestic car owners, just like you.. Heck, I'd rather hang in the LS1 forum, they are cool like that.Tat98Cobra said:Who cares which one is faster anyways. WRX = pure Rice. People who buy Cobras are into it for much more than lightweight, Ricing BS. Its about American Muscle Car pride, awesome sounding,and awesome feeling power.
EJ, go back to your Rice Forums
peace
