then you’re quite ignorant. the current cobra is actually an accomplished road course car for stock.

I think you need to do a little more homework

no i’m not ignorant at all, power/weight and balance if i was looking for a road course car it would not be a front engine’d rwd vehicle with the exceptioon of maybe the c5r cuz the trans is in the rear making it a well balanced vehicle. i also woudn’t buy a damn viper as a track car either like everyone thinks would work.

i’m talking something like an elise, or a c5r or some hybrid built car…it’s not ignorance it’s called personal opinion - i’m not talking about taking a daily driven production car and making it a “real” track car, i’m talking about a car designed for competition - you can’t buy those at your local ford dealer (except maybe the ford gt…which is still a bit high priced for what’s out there…)

2000 Cobra-R $55,000. you were saying?  
Corvette Z06 $50,000.  
Lotus Elise $45,000  
BMW M3 CSL $55,000  
Look the performance specs up, thanks. now back to the threads topic

the Ford GT for $140,000 performs right there with the $650,000 Porsche Carrera GT, and the $1,000,000 Ferrari Enzo.
