They compared the 03' Cobra against a Infiniti G35 and a Mazda Rx-8 in car and driver this month. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember it coming out last. It was up against some tough competition though. The G35 is a tight ass car and I've been wanting to drive an Rx-8 after seeing it online.

Is that what you call a get away? Tell me what you got away with, cuz I've seen more spine in jellyfish, I've seen more guts in 11-year old kids. So have another drink and drive yourself home, i hope theres ice on all the roads. So you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt and again when your head goes through the windshield" -Brand New

the GM guys are pissed b/c, bar none, the 03 Cobra is THE hot car to buy under 35k. Nothing in that price range can touch it, and even used cars in that price range are stretching it. Now, HP per $ on the modification side, you won't touch the 03 cobra with anything but another turbo or supercharged car, nitrous notwithstanding.
Well said. I am still waiting for someone to take an 03 Cobra and rip off the Eaton blower, slap on a sheetmetal upper intake(since the intercooler is already built into the lower intake) and fab up a turbo kit with a nice T76 turbo sitting comfortably in the engine bay.

Ever notice that Car & Driver has a tendency to give cars good reviews if their manufactures have paid for adverts in the mag? Not exactly a unbiased source.
