thats cool. i’d like to see a cobra. that kinda sucks about the Lightning though. they should just go manual trans only anyway. oh well, i wasnt too big on the new body styling though…i prefer the 02 look ---

and the funny thing is all you domestic guys can thank us import guys for the fact that: 1. The Camaro is coming back 2. THe GTO came back 3. There is a horsepower war going on and the companies are sending out cars with 500hp. (remember 10 years ago when the Cobra put out 250hp). ---
