Thumbs up 02 SS or 03/04 COBRA??

I will be looking for another car this month. I really wanted a 03/04 cobra, but I love the look of a BLACK SS. What do you guys think I should get. I know you Chevy guys love 03/04 cobras. I'll get a 01/02 SS, but it has to be BLACK. Can't make up my mind though. I really love those cobras and I know I already have a 99 pewter SS. I think it would be pretty badass to have either. Let me know what you guys think.

Cobra... especially if you already have an SS. Either that or an 05/06 GTO which are pretty cheap now. You can get a decent 05 GTO for around $22k or less with under 15K miles

AJ. I thought you were keeping your SS and trying to buy a cobra this month. Your car looks good i wouldnt give up my pewter SS for a black one. In my opinion the black ss is just too plain and boring.

I didnt vote but i say to keep your SS and buy a cobra like you originally planned on.

LS2 motor seems to respond pretty well to lite bolt ons.. most 6 speed cars are making around 375 rwhp with LT's, CAI and a tune... not bad at all. Too bad the GTO's are heavy as ****.

Yeah I just might get a COBRA! Who knows though. If I find a cheap SS or ZO6 with low miles then I might get it. Oh yeah Marlon over the weekend I drove my boy Luis's 04 Torch Red Cobra with full exhaust, 2.76 pully + idlers, intake & tune. I gotta say after I drove it, it made me want a Cobra even more Fastest COBRA/car I've driven.

I don't really like the looks of GTO's. I don't really like the looks of Mustang's except for the 03/04 Cobra's and Mach1's. I also think they sound ****** GOOD! My friend who just sold his 04 Mystichrome Cobra had a SLP loudmouth, catted SLP X and it sounded ****** MEAN!...

Last time when i went home i drove my friends mystic chrome cobra. (the one you seen in concord) It has bassani x, mac catback,2.76 pulley, JLT intake and a tune. That damn thing is fast *** ****. So i cant blame you for wanting a cobra. When are you going to do this?

Im trying to make up my mind between an 03/04 cobra or a 01-04 z06....it seems like the z06 is the better platform, but to be honest I really dont have alot of extra money for mods, so im probably gonna end up buying the cobra because of the money to hp ratio and then regret it and wish I had gone with a z06 once i get beat by one I have driven cobras....a 450rwhp and a 536rwhp one I have to say I was VERY impressed. The cobra is ALOT better ride for daily driving compared to my WS6, which is a HORRID ride. I have yet to drive a z06 tho.

I would say go with the cobra over the SS...you already have one...if you want a black one I say buy the cobra then trade your pewter one for a black one.

Personally after owning a black WS6, I will NEVER own another black car again! PERIOD...its a b!tch to keep clean....mine is kept in a garage and never driven in the rain, yet I still end up washing it 2-3 times a week....also it shows EVERY imperfection

just my $.02

That's not always true. I've beaten plenty FI LS1's.

Do we really need another thread like this? This exact thread must've
been done at least 100 times already.

I went from a 03 cobra to a WS6 for a lower payment, but car for car, the cobra owns!
