I think it's a shame that so many people have to bad mouth or make assumptions about mustang owners and their cars. They are both nice american made sports cars. They are very different. The cobra is a little more practical being a four seater and a little cheaper, and the vette is obviously a more world class sports car. I hardly think that makes Cobra's junk though. As far as mustang owners attitudes, first off it's hardly fair to make generalizations about all of them based on limited experiences. How many of you really think that every mustang owner is some idiot kid with an inferiority complex who could only pray to be fortunate enough to own a vette someday. And secondly, with the attitudes you see on here that many corvette owners have towards mustang owners, it's hard to blame them for being jerks back. I'm certainly not saying that it's right, but if we could just be more civil to each other and not so hostile and insulting, I'm sure that many of you would get along pretty well with each other.
Anyway, I apologize for the long post. It's just so upsetting to me because I love both cars, and have friends who drive both cars. They are both great cars with a long history and devoted fan bases. It just seems unfortunate that more from each group can't get along with the other.
In response to the original post, I'm sorry you had a bad experience with that mustang owner, and you do have a very nice car.
Have a good day everyone

Quite possibly the funniest Ford reference ever made... My neighbor and I share the Ford/Chevy friendly feud and I can't wait to use that one on him...

all I can say is my vette must run 11's, cause I raced a "12 second" mustang and beat the pants off of him. he "lost traction" of course so did I. funny huh? those guys get to me. not much respect for the highest maintenance car ever made, aka ford mustang.

...and my LT1 is all stock and I think the Cobra SVT has 390 horses don't they? 
...It was really hilarious because he had been pulling next to me revving several times before we raced and his exhaust system sounded pretty good....I never do the race thingy but he pizzed me off because he was forkin with me too much...

Please, remember to inform Mustang owners that:
Speed kills, be safe, buy a Mustang
That will, usually, end the conversation, or, start a fight

No matter what you drive, there is always somebody faster. I don't care how many mods you have or what your car runs, there is somebody out there that is faster, and if you get caught up in the "mine is faster than yours game" you have to grow up and so does the other person.

As long as you're happy, that's all that matters. There's always a faster and less expensive car out there - so what - you have your DREAM car!
