WhippledCobra

Hey guys I am new to the forums and need help deciding on a new car to get next spring...My girlfriend is on these forums, DangerouscurvesZ28....Anyways, I am currently in the V8 family, I own a 95 Cobra with a built 308, a 94 Gt with a 331 Stroker, and an 03 Cobra with a larrrrge list of mods, unfortunately, I have an ex who took 2 of those cars from me so I have the 95 Cobra, next summer when I sell my WRX I am gonna pay for my new R1 then its wrather a WS6 or an SS Camaro and I dunno what to get, I was never too much into Camaros or Trans Ams until now but from what I hear about them the trannys are good (Which is the same tranny in my 03) I hear their rearends suck which isnt too bad I'd build it anyways. Other than that I dont know much about them, I like the whole general appearance of the WS6 better, so comeon guys, help me out here

Welcome. Yes you are correct, the T56 tranny is a great transmission, and the 10-bolt rears on these cars are puny.

Choose an LS1 on what appeals to you. The WS6 and SS will perform nearly identical when stock.

And don't forget to load up some pics of your cars

WhippledCobra

Yea but the clue words in that sentence are nearly identical *when stock*....She will be farrrr from stock, and she will loose her aftermarket parts virginity within the first 2 days I have her I promise you that

ebear

They both have the same engine. Just pick whichever you think looks better. IF money is a problem, get the Camaro.

IMO sell the POS Cobra, because fords suck major ***!! Then buy yourself an 01/02 SS, or WS6, so that way you can get some of the last of the breed and get the LS6 intake manifold.

WhippledCobra

Yea thats why I was asking, I noticed a difference between the WS6 and the SS....I didnt think there was a difference at all, just maybe some small things....Just wondering what they were if anything lol....I will probably end up with the WS6 though

Ps: Yea I am def selling the Ford found out the hard way, only good one was the 03 that thing could haul major ***......It went 11.19@127, but yea thats why I am here, I am converting over lol

Thank god lol!!! Both cars are equally sick, it just depends on which bodystyling you prefer. They have the exact same parts in them stock, but if you do mae your choice in cars pic one that is 01 or 02. Because those are the ones that have hit the fastest ET's stock.... Happy hunting and keep me updated on your findings.

I thought the fastest stock was a 98 Z28 Stripper.. or was it an 02?

WhippledCobra

Yea I already decided I wanna get an 02.....Gotta decided on the color and all that stuff though, I am super picky,gotta be with my baby though :-D

I believe it was an 02 stripper. My favorite colors for either of those cars are Red, NBM, or SOM.

WhippledCobra

See, I would say that I could buy this, but I am not gonna buy a car already done up, I'll do it myself ya know.....

If your going to modify it anyway, you could just buy a clean Z28 or Trans Am. Save thousands over the SS and WS6 and put your own hood and spoiler on there. I've seen clean, low mileage, unmolested Z28's for as low as $9800.

WhippledCobra

Damn didnt know you could scoop them up that cheap, whats the diff between a Trans am and a WS6, just appearance?

.....to each his own , I guess.

WhippledCobra - It seems your almost in the same situation I am. I'm also trying to decide which one I want to buy; a foxbody, a T/A, or Camaro. It's proving to be hard saving up enough pennies, and even harder making a choice! I'm sure you won't be disappointed with whatever you choose, 'cause they're both badass cars. Good luck!

ChocoTaco369

bullshit. you had titanium core muffler bearings and a chromoly flux capacitor.

wtf happened to your sig? it went from the best on LS1tech to *yawn*

EDIT - upon further consideration, i demand you change it back.

WhippledCobra

Yea, doent matter what I get, as long as its a V8 ....I can make anything fast, 5 simple words.....Stroker motor and a blower!!!!!

And Lol Choco your funny!

Ps:8 Cylinder, I live in Monroeville Pa but am moving back home because I am done with school and my ex lol....But check out my buddy's car, lives 3 houses up from me, www.mikeymustang.com

Yeah basically.

My 35th LE has a Donaldson Blackwing air box and an SLP designed cat-back.
They have a Zexel torsen differential also, but in a 7.5 rearend its moot. They put jounce spacers in for the 17' wheels but I haven't seen any particular benefit to those either.

Bottom line, if your going to make any perfomance mods, the factory stuff isn't worth keeping.

Great reasoning behind your advice there
