The guy just put the mufflers on, didn't pipe it to the back of the car...very "droney", and maybe that's to be expected. I'd probably want resonators for any long trips. Granted, the only car I've owned with exhaust was the Spyder, so maybe I just need to get used to it.Power was...disappointing. not compared to the SC'ed GT I drove earlier, I was expecting this Cobra to be less than that. I've been driving my father's 300ZX TT (used to be mine) for the past few days now, so I have a good basis for what 305 HP should feel like (to be fair, it's probably 305 hp in the Z with the intake, plus I have a lightened flywheel). Despite having a lot less torque, and me running the AC in the Z, the Z seemed to pull a lot harder than the Cobra. This is all seat-of-the-pants subjective, didn't actually time it, so maybe it's just boost on a 70 degree day that's messing with my head.Everything seemed to be working, no CEL. Was disappointed in his wheel/tire choice...he's got 245s out back, which is not enough for the tq in the Z, so I would imagine much less so in a Cobra. So they would definitely have to go.He's a smoker, and he did a good job of cleaning it up, but it was still slightly noticeable.There were some rattles that seemed to come from suspension, he hasn't touched the suspension, so it probably just needs to be done.Also...is there a difference in leg room from GTs to Cobras? I'm 6'4", so leg room can be an issue. There seemed to be more room in the GT I drove than the Cobra. It was fine for driving, but shifting required a lock of cocking of my knee...unless the start position of the pedal can be moved down...autos.msn.com says there's only 1.1 inches of difference in leg room, I wonder if there wasn't something wrong with his seat.</blockquote>
