Default So I let a cobra driver, drive the 07Z today!

So, I got some BS front liesence plate ticket and a bud of mine has every possible tool/utility/item you could ever need. I call him up ask if he has any big *** zip ties so I can put this damn liesence plate on.

Yadda yadda yadda, we fix my liesence plate and he wants to drive it. I said ok because he helped me out.

We take the Z out and he gets on it a little bit and he was SO SUPRISED. He never thought they would be as quick as they actually are. (He drives a 98 cobra w/ mods out his *******, its running 12.4's). He also really liked how he felt like he was in a real sports car and how he felt sucked into the car like a cockpit almost. His next question was how much can I get 1 of these for!

I was so suprised he actually liked it, he has always been a pure mustang/cobra guy and everything else sucked. He really wants to actually go out and buy 1 now heh.

The best part though was when he took a corner and said it felt so much better then his cobra, he said his cobra could do it but it felt nothing like the Z. Saying the control and response he felt was just amazing.

On a side note, i am not saying Cobra's suck. I actually came from a 00 mustang GT and thats how me and him became friends. His cobra is amazing, I love terminators and I give them respect where its due. It was just his view on ours cars.

And I am also in no way saying 03-06Z's suck and 07's are better. Just his view on driving my 07 =)

Not surprising at all. The Z IS a real sports car, the cobra is a muscle car.

If he would have owned a "terminator" he would have not been that impressed with the Z...

He's saying that's not the crux of his argument.

Everybody knows 07s are faster. Better, well, that's relative to how much you paid for it.

It's all relative.

I know this. I was just stating for the cobra community. =) There badass cars.

The guy has driven every damn muscle car I can think of. He was a huge cobra/mustang guy. He just owned a older cobra.

So coming from a guy who owned the 00 GT, how does the clutch travel feel compared to your old car?
