Yeah i agree they ain't that common but that just makes it better, but personally if i absolutley had to buy a mustang it would be an 03/04, but i would never sell my F-body for one, both cars are bad ***, and it really comes down to personal preference

I think I'll just hold off for now on the Cobra.
When it really comes down to it I don't think I could sell the camaro for one. Yes I could own one, but not at the expense of the Z.
After grad school.... I'll just add the cobra to the collection.

I'm well aware that all motors can blow. LS1's blow up all the time huh? Please show me where they blow up all the time. Lets talk stock form and not nitrous cars either. When I race in my car I'll do back to back run without worrying about my motor. Yeah, there is a possibility that I can hurt something, but it's a high risk when doing it in a Cobra. Either way, I'd still buy a Cobra over an LS1 even knowing that huge problem.

The guy who said the cobra is a dyno queen is right. I watched a friend of mine fight with a blown mach 1 for three years. Forged motor and 800 rwhp and he couldn't get out of the 11's. And he could drive. Dyno queen

That's because it is 10 years older. Its a great platform but its dated. Is it outdated, no. Is the 4valve better, no. Ford needed 4 valves to make as much power as the LS1. Cobra to LS1 is apples to oranges. Its blown versus NA, of course blown is going to win stock to stock or slightly modded. Its all in what you like and what you want to do. If you want to put time and effort into building something fun and fast, keep the fbody. If you want to do it easily and cheaply, get the cobra. But you'll get more sense of accomplishment from the fbody.

First.. You know theres more to a car than just a dyno number.. Right? Just because a car makes great power, doesnt mean theyre going to run fast at the track. I've seen 1000rwhp vettes run 10's... Because they couldnt hook up. Tell your buddy with the Mach 1 who is a "good driver" to set his car up right then.
Cobra's arent dyno queens. I cant believe I'm even reading that, or people actually think that... They can hold their own on the streets and at the track. Please, go tell that to a bolt-on cobra with your bolt-on T/A, and let me know how it goes. Pullied/ported cobra's have made it deep into the 11's.. We wont even talk about what a properly setup KB cobra could do... Nevermind a TT one.

That hood is bad *** makes your car, Just put a blower on the z aint like you dont have the hood clearence lol. I bought my wife a 2000 mustang V6 it wasnt a terminator but rode like a **** box. Plus short wheel base tend 2 oversteer lol thats any mustang tho.
The blower sound is sooo sick sounding plus any mustang sound awsome,But i dont think i would spend the cash on one. Just put a blower on your car

Alright, I seriously LOL'd at the bolded part. I really wish I could fit that into my sig.. Because that is hilarious. I dont even know where to begin with this one. First..

DEFINITELY stick with the camaro man! looks and sounds way more aggressive. camaro's have way nicer rides as well! instead of buying a cobra, go all out with the camaro and go show those stangs whose boss.its definitely way more satisfying to have a basemodel car that you built up yourself beat another car than to have a more-expensive bone-stock car that kills all the others. "built not bought" right? all just my opinion of course..
