Yeah its an expensive car and all, but I got into dsms because unlike Hondas they can go fast.* The only original goal I had was to run low 13s to beat Z06s and Mustangs because it seems when people get older they go blow their money on these cars because they can.** I get sick of seeing 17 yr old kids driving their parents or their parent-paid for cars.* So yeah you earned your car by getting into school and all, but if your at a stoplight, I will still blow right past ya (unless your in your talon).

Leave the kid alone... yea I bet if your parents would have given you an '03 cobra you'd turn it down right? wrong.
And about you blowing past him at a stoplight - I dont know how fast your car is, but an '03 cobra has a hell of a lot more potential than a dsm. Spend $4000 and you have 650whp. Geting that much power out of a dsm would cost well over $10,000 in mods requiring an all new short block, new tranny, etc. I know Chris Carey just put about $11,000 into his motor alone and is
hoping to get 550whp. Plus, the cobra will pull waaaay better 60's with the right tires and minimal suspension mods than your average awd dsm.
I'm not dogging dsms, just pointing out that the newer cobras are p.i.m.p. They are a much better platform to build on than your car or my car.
Congrats on the new car! Take care of it! [/b][/quote]
Its just too bad it costs 30 k to get into a new cobra. so with the AWD dsm i just bought that leaves me with 29,600 dollars left for mods! So I guess if you are talking about performance for the buck by cheap used car and make it how you want it. Thats in my opinion!!
