The '03/'04 Cobras (also known as the "Terminators") were prone to broken axles on the strip with only simple bolt-ons.

^^^^ You sure about that?? I'm only aware of the 1999 SVT Cobra having half shafts. And, yes they were being snapped at the strip.

Not sure which I would buy if I had the $$$$, probably neither....

Would vote for the Shelby due to transmission issues in the GT-R and it was not comphy for me.

Might take the $$$ and SC a G37X coupe.

Good call. You can get 600 ponies before running out fuels on the HR engines. That would be more than enough. Not sure if I don't think I've seen SC in the HR but TT been done on few cars.

Yeah, 100%. It was the explanation given by every major car magazine (i.e. Motor Trend, Car & Driver, etc.) at the time of the cars initial release and the terminators made a good bit more power then the '99s. Remember, those cars were running in the 10s with 500fwhp within the first week of their release.

i voted GTR... i absolutely love technology...

based on alot of the comments on that blog... if they had their way, cars wouldn't have progressed past the 1970s "glory days"

once the baby boomers are too old to drive/buy cars you might see a mustang or corvette with AWD... shoot the ford tarus just got a turbo and AWD...
