Snakes or 5.0 emblems?

[BlackLX]

I just got a fender sprayed and I am puting it on soon.

Just curous if you'd go with the snakes or 5.0 emblems? I am leaning toward the snakes at this point just for a change.

[smokin'Red35th]

i voted 5.0

[Overdrive]

I vote .... Blank and dont put anything on it. If the person cant tell it a mean 5.0 they never will

[NitrousEdge]

Either 5.0 or nothing.....what is "cobra" about your car???

[Greg@GLD]

Either 5.0 or nothing.....what is "cobra" about your car???


I agree.

You'll just look like a poser Mike. Just like ricers who put "R" badges on the phat ride yo....

[Kirk]

Another 5.0 or nothing vote here.

[black horse]

I would say 5.0 also

[upngo50]

agreed

[smokin'Red35th]

I agree.

You'll just look like a poser Mike. Just like ricers who put "R" badges on the phat ride yo....

My thoughts exactly

[1slo5.0]

I vote neither. Go for the smootie look and don't put any emblems on.

[upngo50]

Am I the only person that thinks that the cobra emblem is symbolic of Ford Performance, and that having them on your car is fine, as long as youre not actively trying to pass it off as a cobra?

:shrug:


By putting the badges on you are actively attempting to pass it off as a cobra. The badge signified certain traits and attrabutes that were specific to the higher powered engine in addition to the sleeker looks of the body. What business does a standard (I use that term loosly with all the modified GT's running around these days) GT have wearing a cobra badge? If the car had more of the cobra body trim, a cobra cam, cobra injection system, and cobra, or GT-40 for that matter, intake then I would say go for it. The fact of the matter is it just isn't a cobra or even a replica of a cobra @ this point. It would be like putting a Mach1 badge on my car cuz I do in fact really like how they look, but guess what....my car ain't no mach1 so how dumb do I look now??

......it's a nice car without the badges.

[Twirkin50]

I say do whatever you like. Who cares what anyone else thinks, its your car. You build it, you drive it, you fix it. If you want to put cobra badges on it, cobra wheels, bullit wheels, svt badges, whatever that is your choice. I had cobra emblems and badges on my 91 LX and if someone would have asked me why I had those if its not a "real" cobra, I would have flat out said its my car and I wanted them there.

[upngo50]

So youre telling me that it's OK that i put Cobra badges on my GT, if i have all the necessary cobra BS under the hood, and then it's ok? .

Yep, replicas are one thing, but flat out false advertising is another and by adding all the necessary BS, as you say which is part of what really makes a cobra a cobra, it holds some weight.

So what if i go and get myself a Mach powertrain and put it in my GT? Then having Mach badges is ok? .

Wrong body style so the replica theory would not be able to apply, therefore no not ok. In my own personal book it needs to be true to the period to be considered. I don't just go throwing around badges willy nilly now...

Sounds like youre a bit confused as to when it is and isnt alright to have these things. .

No not confused one bit...extra added badging of any type that does not hold true to form of what the car actually is performance wise to what that specific badge added actually represents.. to me would be considered rice regardless of brand.

No offense, just trying to have a lively discussion about it. .

None taken....ever. :D These are my opinions and imply nothing other than my own viewpoint.

this is the best possible answer.

I personally would not.

[NitrousEdge]

I tihnk if you put a newer Mach motor into a fox body it would be
!. Cool as hell
2. Put the badges on it, its unique


Hell, people should do whatever they want - its their car that they are modifying...


What about my car - would I be justified putting cobra badges on it???

[quietflow]

Do what you like, but Id leave them off!

[OneHotLX]

I agree.

You'll just look like a poser Mike. Just like ricers who put "R" badges on the phat ride yo....

Oh really.... WELL then I say everyone that puts Cobra R wheels, Saleen and/or Steeda ground effects, Cobra bumpers and hoods are posers then too. What the hell is the difference. Some people are just too damn anal.

So Mike do whatever you like. I don't really care for the 5.0 emblems because they're on every stang you see. It's nice to see something different once in a while.

[Nick 1]

I vote Type R. In billet.

I second Dan's motion.................. :eek:

Hey Tony, if you put on a dress and a wig, you'd be "different" too. But dressing like something and being the real deal are two different things. :rockon:

Posers suck.

A hairy guy in a dress.

I am not backtracking on my opinion which is what Mike asked for, but those who say "It's your car, do what you want" are correct. Who cares what people think? By the same tolken, people will think what they think anyway. You won't change that.

By the way, have you guys seen my new phat ride?

Man what a thread :thud: I voted 5.0

Entirely up to you and whatever you're happy with :cool:

My "Staged" car has badges that come with each performance stage the last being

I'm more of a stealth "sleeper fan" a 3 350 whp and 350tq in a 2900lb car

The badges are in my toolbox.

"That's a sick new sled you got there Greg, when you goin pimpin?" LMAO

[Greg@GLD]

Actually, Im changing my vote. I say get BULLITT tags, bust off half the "U" and the last "T", and have it say BILLET.


Better yet, splice an S and H after the double el and drop one tee. ;)

[Greg@GLD]

Hey!! Dude, I didn't touch it! the site you linked to probably has a replacement image to prevent hot-linking. We once put a girly pix in the script when some other site was stealing our Mustang news pix. :hehe:

[Greg@GLD]

Mikey's gonna kill us when he sees this thread.

[1slo5.0]

Just wierd that it showed up for me and then it was gone.......twice. I'll try a different pic. :rockon:

That is sweet Wayne! I love the front spoiler!

[Greg@GLD]

You guys are harsh


LOL.. I've seen plenty of your posts on other sites. You're no Mother Theresa Mickey... :p

[BlackLX]

wtf- did you guys do to my thread?

How did asking an oppinion about cobra emblems turn into this?

I think it's quite far from puting a fart can on your stang. lol What is everyones oppinon on a cobra grill insert for an LX or GT? Or a cobra bumper cover?

Let the rants continue! LOL

[BlackLX]

I have a cobra spolier and wheels- Does that make me a poser?

ugg...

[Greg@GLD]

Mikey, I think there is a full moon or something.

I've been waiting for one of ya's to bust on me for having...

2003 Cobra wheels and a 1995 Cobra R hood on my 1994 Cobra with 347 emblems on the side... :hehe:

But at least it really HAS a 347!

[1slo5.0]

Greg is the biggest poser of them all!!!!!!! Why did you have to put that new hood on anyway :D


Mikey, you put whatever emblems you want on your car. You are the one that drives it, not anyone else. We are just giving you a hard time because we have nothing better to do on this wonderful monday evening.

I was savagely attacked by Frannie Peppler's Rock 'n Roll Thunder Jet Car. That thing eats Cobra hoods!!

Exaclty. It really comes down to you Michael and what you want to do with YOUR car. In all candor, does it really matter what I think or what Brotha Darrell thinks? Nope.

Mike, we're sorry for thrashing your thread. But damn it was fun! :hehe:

Don't matter greg- I wanted oppinions and that is what I got. Plus it's only the damn internet and Darrell has some pretty good ideas to hear about anyways.

ps...I was there when the jet car ate your hood, it was crazy to see!
:D

I haven't laughed this hard in a while. Good thing my bladder is empty or I'd fill my pants up again.

Were you really Mikey?? :rockon: :beer: :thumbs_up

[BlackLX]

Yeah Greg-

It was a race day for one of the sites...I remember seeing it fly back, it seemed slow motion when the jet car did that to your nice red hyundai tiberon.

[Greg@GLD]

did i miss something????


True story! I had it parked by the tower with the hood up on the prop rod, and Frannie's jet car was on the line. When she lit the afterburners, it tore up the hood.

[1slo5.0]

Holy ****, i didnt know that.... Nuts.

I guess it comes with that VIP parking you get though, eh? :D


I missed that too until I stupidly poked some holes in my quarter panel by accident. I called Greg and told him how stupid I was. He told me the jet car story and I didn't feel so bad. :D

[1slo5.0]

Yep, those are the ones! Everyone has flat, smooth quarters on their Mustangs. I wanted to be different!

[smokin'Red35th]

so if you put the standard 3bar/pony V-6 emblem on your cobra, does that make you a poser too?

[upngo50]

Does the car have a 302? Then no not a poser, if it doesn't have a 302 then yes a poser. It's like putting 5.0 badges on a four cylinder car. How many times have you seen that and how many times do you go....got what a freakin poser!! Yep...everytime

[1slo5.0]

I put Cobra emblems on my wife's Windstar this morning. It looks killer!

Posers suck.

If someone sees a Cobra badge and thinks an LX is a Cobra then they don't know anything anyways. Besides you didn't answer my question. Mine on are on there because I think they look good. And they do. Roxanne Shepard must be a poser too. She's going to have an '03 Cobra front pan on her GT.

[Greg@GLD]

Mine on are on there because I think they look good. And they do.



Then what's the difference one way or another Tony? You seem to be getting awfully defensive. Does Evil Greg's opinion get your dander up?


You said I was "anal" simply because I expressed my feelings. Well you're getting all defensive and yes, ANAL in your quest to validate your Cobra emblems.


You said it yourself. "I think they look good"

Then they do. End of discussion.

Greg, if you freely express your opinion you are an asshole......just like me :D

However, if you don't freely express your opinion then you are a backstabber.

Greg, I don't care what you think of me or my car. I am not and was not upset. I think you have me confused with a guy from Sun Praire. lol When did I say "you" were anal? I said that PEOPLE can be. I hope you helmet still fits bud. And you still haven't replied to my question man. "everyone that puts Cobra R wheels, Saleen and/or Steeda ground effects, Cobra bumpers and hoods are posers then too. What the hell is the difference." "Roxanne Shepard must be a poser too.

Maybe we can talk about it on Sunday.

[markstang]

I guess I missed out on this 1........ I guess I would be the opposite to a poser because I have 5.0 on my car still, but the motor is over 100ci more than a 302. so I would say you should put V6 on the side & start going to the RSD events more. :burnout:

[1slo5.0]

I'm a backstabbing asshole, does that count?

[ford4life5.0]

definatly no badges at all

[playpool]

ok, i have cobra badges on my gt. just on the fender's. i dont have a cobra bumper (front/rear). i do have cobra 13 inch brakes though. the only reason i have the badges is simply because i like the snake. i wanted to get a tatoo of it, but decided not to do it. i like the bare look, but on sn95 you have a hole in the fender and i could not find a single badge that i liked other than the snake. now for those who cant tell the difference whether its a gt or fox, they may have bigger issues than my (posing) problem. i could afford a cobra no problem, but i dont want one so for those who wonder whether they should put on a snake badge or 5.0 badge that is just up to them as to their liking. also, i do get a lot of people that ask me if its a real cobra. i have never rubbed it off as being one. i didnt want to make myself look any cooler than having an actual "cobra". just my two cents. this was a good question, but i just do not like the fact that people quote saying your a poser by doing certain things to your car that they may not like. :rockon:

[1slo5.0]

I think alot of guys were just giving Mikey some ****. I don't think many (if any) were serious. I could be very wrong though.



But I don't care what you or anyone else says, Greg is still a poser :D

[fivonut]

I think................... yeh who am I trying to kid!!!!!!!!!!!

[PunkKidJay50]

Pssst...Hey guys, I am putting Cobra badges on my LX just because I like them. My car is a mutt though. It has Cobra rear, sides, rims and intake (on the way), Saleen spoiler, Stalker nose (to be put on soon), and a Spyder X9 hood also to be put on. I just like Cobra emblems better myself. I dont mind that my motor as of right now is mostly stock other than the 306 bottom end. Again, thats why I am gettin the Cobra intake because the stock one just sucks. I would like a Saleen/Vortech if anyone has one. K, thanks

[JORGE]

Watch that Greg, you are offending me because at times I do wear a dress and a wig. Doesn't make me different though, I still have the sausage and nut platter going on.....haha!

wayne so do guys that want to be women.and that makes them differnet
but coop say you dont look good in a dress but the wig can stay j/k :thumbs_up :alc:

[MeatSack]

So....I guess my "Roush Tempo" makes me poser(ish)
