If the cobra has all the Bolt-ons it should be pushing a little over 500rwhp.. go with the Cobra.

What ever you do to it at the end of the day you still have a phuchin mustang sitting in your drive way......do you know why ford builds them..so that Camaros, Trans Ams and Corvette have something to eat..they are just part of the food chain...

Yeah if it were me I would check the insurance on both of them and see which one was less. Not saying that would be my deciding factor, but it would play a part in my decision for sure. Either way they are both sick cars.

My only gripe with teh termi is the curb weight.

The z06 is much more exotic and a drivers car. Depends on what you're plans are. If its drag stuff, I'd get the termi

For a all around wicked streetcar, I'd have a z06

the vette is much lighter weight, with a set of stage 2 ls6 heads and a nice cam (at least a tr224) or slightly larger plus headers and cat back it would take alot for the heavier mustang to keep up if you asked me. just my 2 cents

Thats exactly what I was thinking. Test drive them both and that might help you decide. How important is a back seat? Insurance price could play a factor as well. Ask yourself what you want a car for. . . drag racing or handling or both. Decide after you have decided what you want from your next car.

i think the cobra was more than the corvette on insurance, from what i remeber the vette was cheaper than my 01 gt convertible. im 21 by the way. what i might do is just get a frc and build it up from there cause they are cheaper than a z06
