Default POLL: WS6 or Cobra

Ok well I found some pretty sweet deals on both cars here locally....and Im ready to trade in my old bird it just clicked over 62k miles and I just want something with alot less miles....both cars have around the same miles under 30k but the 03 cobra was the BF Goodrich show car so has ALOT of stuff done to it, the 02 T/A has a few basic bolt ons....

Now im trying to decide whether to cross over into the forbidden territory or not, Ive seen some of those Cobras in action and all I can say is WOW.

If i bought the cobra it would stay like it is, except maybe a pulley change, if i bought the WS6 it would get my rear mount Im building.

What do you guys think?

I would never buy a ford...

But if I ever did, it would be an 03/04 cobra, so I wouldnt hold it against you if you bought one.

i personally would go with the 03 cobra... they're built to handle boost and come stock w/ a supercharger on them... pretty tough to hang with. Plus with it being a BFGoodrich showcar you know its been taken care of EXTREMELY well. Love the birds, but i think it makes sense.

Step one: Dump GF.

Step two: Get new GF.

Step three: Get new GF to buy the cobra.

I would not do it. I guess it really depends on what kind of price you can get the cobra for. Everyone says the cobra comes s/c and is made for more boost but the ls1 isnt to bad either with 8lbs of boost and a good tune. I guess it depends on how far you wanna go into moding your bird. I personaly would keep the ls1 and feed it some boost and get a tune.

I love a WS6, pretty much my dream car right now. But if I was in the position where I could afford a Terminator... I would be driving one for sure!

Dumb poll. Don't you think this crowd would be a little biased? Therefore the poll won't give any accurate results.

Thats definatly a nice ride man and i'm sure is very powerful. Seems like a good deal too. But I still wouldnt do it cause i'm not a trator lol. But hey, like i said before it depends on how far you wanna mod the bird. I still say keep the bird.
