are you equally comfortable working on each one? I know you know LSx and I imagine you know your way around fords but which do you enjoy working on more?

I have hands on experience on both motors and feel comfortable working on both. And both cars are bad *** and price difference is pretty close. It's a really hard decision, The hard part is going to be getting rid of the camaro.

I'd choose the vette over a cobra anyday. Looks killer stock, but with a good set of rims and lowering springs...

i voted vette because it's a newer car therefore paint will be nicer and mileage lower that way you won't waste your money on appearance and maintenance as much, also what squirts says wheels and lower and its a sexy beast with stock appearance

and you make that ls2 a 402 and maybe a nice power adder like a jug

I voted vette. The c6's just look too damn good! and if you are doing performance to both, i think the ls2 might be more fun since you can build it all NA and then do a power adder later on when NA is just too slow.

I'm not planing on getting rid of it soon, I will hopefully have it at invasion. The car feels very strong, But it's more of a race car then a street car. I rather have something that is still fast, nice looking and RELIABLE lol

I hate when people build a car so fast that they never use it and end up selling it... They end up loosing money on the deal too. And most later regret ever selling their project car. I say sell the mustang and get another car, don't sell the Camaro.
