Chris, why do I look like an idiot? I know what the specs are for the Cobras. I didn't know about the mispoken horsepower deal that Ford did, yes you are right. If the information I learned (& the whole world learned) isn't true then how is that my fault? To be honest with you, I still don't consider his ranting & raving the gospel. I know what I read about the Cobras. So did the supercharger on that 4.6L 4 cammer give the car @ 140 horses on that low boost, instead of 90 horses on that low boost? The 2nd option sounds more logical...in my opinion.

I love how this thread turned into the "Let's name random vehicles and not distinguish the difference between semi-rare and underrated." They are two different things.

wow i just read this entire thread. Stop praising your turd ass car. no one gives a fuck and it seems you don't know shit about cars like you say you do.
you keep saying you know mustangs and shit but like Cobra4B pointed out you don't even know that lil piece of basic info that they were underrated from the factory.
get over it, you drive an Isuzu. you lose.
the srt4 will never be "rare." not even in 20 yrs. look how many of those fuckers were produced.

ok...ill add to this...I HAD...about 7 years ago a 1991 Ford Escort Lx. It had the 1.9L SOHC engine, nothing at all right?? lol...until I found out about the BAC (british American Transfer)(which no longer exists as a specified unit) I had many many Cosworth parts for it and in comparison, it was i think like 88fwhp stock,I had WELL over that(never ran forced induction on it though...but i should have) and mine although never dynoed, was walking 5.0 ponys and I ONCE beat a SS Camaro....fun times , anyone that has known me for a long while will remember that car... GOOD TIMES

because thats just it. Everyone else knows the cobras are underated. Im not even a ford guy and i know that they make close to the wheels at what they claim to the crank.
This is why you look like an idiot.

well if you follow the SRTForums and read about wrecks and totals every week you soon realize that eventually they will be rare, As of right now the Commerative SRT-4's, some 200 were produced, theres only like 60% left.

LOL wow, Kurazy cracka is a cyber thug! Very tough. I really care about something a "cracka" has to say! I am glad you feel exactly the opposite as I do. That makes me normal! I read the cars you have listed below your name..... That Corolla is some what similar to my 1.6, except mine is DOHC & can hold over 400 horses!

Wow.. I can't believe your praising a 91 Isuzu Impulse RS, you have to be kidding me.
Oh and your vast 'knowledge' of the 03-04 Cobra, are you serious? The people telling you this have either owned an 03-04 cobra, or know their shit well enough - you shouldn't be doubting them. Its pretty well known that the 03-04's were way underrated from the factory, its not gospel.

Sure Chris sure. If you want me to say it I will. I didn't know the Cobras were underrated in horsepower! All I knew is what the specs say. That doesn't make me an idiot, it just means I don't know everything. Guess what, I never said I knew everything Chris. But I do know about the 4.6L engines like I said I did. Shit, I almost wish I didn't sell my car with the 4.6L 4 cammer! Oh yeah...
