Not Ranked
Like many others that have posted, I have had my share of high HP cars in the past, including a Chevelle set up for drag racing that put out about 900HP w/ 4.88 rear. The Cobra is by FAR the scariest car I've ever owned or driven. I've gone through 2 different driving schools (one was a BMW school and you drove your own car, and the other was Bob Bondurant's school where they provided different vehicles.......VERY fun, by the way, and your learn A LOT.)...........NOTHING will prepare you for a 600HP Cobra though. They will turn on you in a heart beat if you aren't carefull. PATIENCE is all I can say to you.........don't just jump in thinking all you have to do is floor the gas pedal if you want to "go fast". Feather it, and take it easy until you get used to it. 600HP.......90 inch wheel base.......low performance 15" tires....... brakes that are too small........all these things add up to TROUBLE. Play nice, and be patient with her, and they can add up to FUN.
Be SAFE and be HAPPY.
