I didn't realize how cheap they are! An 04 Cobra is 24k with 37k on the clock...granted it is a domestic and thats a lot of mileage lol
I've tested an 03 Cobra extensively and wasn't very impressed. Not very torquey, yet lots of wheel hop/shudder in 1st gear. My friend's GTO was way more fun for me; the LS2 is a beast, and pushes you right back in the seat when you hit the loud pedal. I didn't run into any wheel hop, either.
