Too bad about that huge hood bulge (guess those turbos had to go somewhere). Otherwise <3

I can't forget how Caroll said how poorly that cobra drove in terms of metal twisting. Of course the only goal was power.

Sticking a huge motor inside a small car was still a good idea in my opinion. Just needed some more engineering to it.

#4, As I recall, the body twist was considered part of the suspension.

Also, lol at me for thinking the car was turboed when I commented back in '06.

#9, From what I read, no available manual transmission at the time would be able to withstand the hp.
