If I were you I'd talk to MTI or GTP or TEA and do a nice heads and cam package for the SS or a Big Bore 382 or something similar. For a fraction of the $$$ of a new Cobra or new Vette, you'll be much faster than either.
In fact the depreciation you'll lose the first year with the Cobra or Vette would pay for about all the mod's you'd do to the 2000 SS.
Have fun.

Re: New Vette or new Cobra. If your contemplating a Corvette or Mustang...you probably don't belong in a Corvette. The biggest point I can express is that the SVT Cobra is blown to its max potential, while the corvette is a N/A beast that isnt close to its potential. As far as a Cobra beating a C5 on a road course that is BS. If your just into going fast and drag racing dont buy a Vette. If you like the total package (HANDELING, speed, design, class...) buy a Corvette. If your not interested in any of that, just throw a Supercharger on your SS and save some money. my 2cents
