And from this, you mean he was blew 4 engines and the warranty company paid each time? Warranty companies don't just give out engines like that. Blowing more than one engine throws up red flags all over the place. User error or abuse is suspect.

They aren't going to replace a $7k engine 4 times. Thats more then the cost of the car itself.

Couple of things here...first of all.
1.This is the original thread starter's mod list..
"2002 WS-6, Torque Thrust II's, Nitto 555, Eibach Springs, Autometer Gauges, Tail Light Covers, ZO6 Style Emblem, Under Hood Mirrors, Racing Stripes, CETA Rear Bumper, Clear Corners, Custom Embroidered Floor Mats & Head Rests, MBA Billet Parts, Custom stainless airdam, MTI Clear Lid, SLP Exhaust,Chrome Holley, 3:73 Gears, Hotchikis Stb... And a Whole Lot Of Zaino.."
Doesn't seem that he is very hardcore into the whole "Johnny Street Racer" routine here.Looks like "Power" beyond mild bolt-ons is not much concern to him.(Just a guess...).So to keep arguing about how a Cobra is slower or faster than an LS1 over and over seems kinda pointless...it really argues a point that doesn't seem to have been asked.
2.The thread starter hasn't even posted any more in this topic
I wonder if he made a choice or is staying where he is at...Hmmmmm.

like i said a warranty company will replace something if it is faulty and as long as a mechanic says it's faulty when it goes out, they have no choice. never seen a clause in a warranty the says "will only replace once, then we'll take back the car and give you your money back so you can get a new one" oh by the was it's spelled TRUNK not TRUNKED this leads me to believe your just a 12 year old and don't actually own a camaro, or your just a retard who needs mavis beacon ok MJK made a good point, sic WS6 hasn't even posted since page 1, so either he's made his decision or he's just laughin at 2 people talkin **** to 1 person so on that note i'm done with this post, if either of you have anything else to talk **** to me about, PM me and i'll gladly respond

So wait wait wait. I mispell one word and you call me retarded? Yet you make up complete stories and thats seems to be ok?
There is no way he got 4 engines from Ford and no way he got 4 faulty engines. Believe it or not Ford is a decent car company. Most car companies are by the way.
Sorry. This leads me to believe that you exagerate and know nothing of what you are speaking.

Oh, and trying to correct someone's spelling then going on to use "your" instead of "you're" multiple times leads me to believe you think YOU'RE much smarter than you actually are. Also, two spaces is not a replacement for a period. Don't try to be a spelling **** if you don't practice what you preach.

Considering what 03-04 Cobras are selling for I think that whole "cheaper to mod" thing is moot. Heads, cam, and Long tubes on an F Bod and you got alot more $$$ in your pocket. I like the Cobras too but all the F bod guys I know still trouince em at the track.

the 01-02 cobra are WEAK if you like performance you will be dissapointed. their is a a 02 cobra here with the saleen wing ect. and all he could muster in the 1/8 was a 9.6@78 mph
those things are dogs nothing compared to the 03-04's. and their quality is crap also. their is a reaosn you dont see to many 01-02 cobras.

These arguments are kinda stupid. When it comes down to it, both cars can be made fast for about the same amount of money--give or take 3-4k. If 3-4k of mod money is a lot for someone, cars probably aren't the best hobby for them.
For example, an ls1 fbody can go deep 11's with heads, cam, and bolt-ons -- a Cobra can do it with bolt-ons and a ported blower. You aren't really saving a ton money by going either route. Yes, LS1s are 10k+ cheaper, but I'm talking mod money only. Keep in mind, most owners won't go beyond bolt-ons and 99.9% will not desire to have a street car faster than mid-high 10's. This is why I say make the decision between the two based on personal preference, i.e., looks, bias, sound etc.
I guess the OP made his choice, so I hope he enjoys it.
