I saw that one some time ago, and it's still funny. On a personal note, I know a guy with an '03 Cobra who was tormented by a kid with a Stage 2 SRT-4 who said he could easily hang with the Mustang. The kid said he hung with a blown Cobra before. The Cobra guy said "are you sure it wasn't a V6?" After that, the race was on! That Cobra blew his doors so far off, I doubt he ever found them.
Since the last time I made a post regarding SRT-4s, I've encountered two SRT-4 guys who weren't douchebags, and, perhaps not coincidentally, they also happen to own old-school TDs. They are both knowledgeable car guys who know they can't "hang" with a Kenne Bell equipped '03 or '04 Cobra. It's just that so many ricers have bought SRT-4s-and brought their ricer mentality along with them, that, by virtue of their actions, they give the car a bad name in many people's view. It's a stigma with which, unfortunately, even the good owners, like the two I mentioned, must contend. I guess that's why these two guys complain about the antics of some other SRT-4 drivers. I felt the same way about some other 5.0 guys back in the day when I had by built and blown 347. Eventually, however, the idiots will either total their cars or have them reposessed, leaving a higher percentage of responsible people driving SRT-4s, and the stigma will diminish.
