Nice man. A virgin too. Once you get your 2.8, tune and cai...it will feel like a TOTALLY different car. It looks just as good as the T/A if not better, since SS Camaros look better than T/A's any way....I know you like tha way it drives, I was blown away. Good luck man.

I have an '03 Cobra I bought new, neat car, but very different than an F-body......... it's all personal choice......... and hard to compare.

Also, don't buy a '99 Cobra............... you'd have to get an '03-'04 with the 390 hp 4 valve to make it worth it............

i respect your cobras, but whats with them being(so called dyno queens)is it true that the ls1 can keep with a o4 cobra if its got a smaller hp rating.not too much lower but id say 75 to 100 hp more.if the curve is flat on the ls1

They're awesome cars. Nothing wrong with them. They make a lot of power fairly easily.

Fastest Cobra's I've seen typically go 10's with an aftermarket blower/full bolt-on's/rearend. Fastest LS1's I typically see go 10's with an aftermarket cam/full bolt-ons/nitrous/rearend. You can do it a WHOLE lot cheaper in an LS1, but those Cobra's are soooo purty.

dont listen to these guys man do what you want, I just went from a mustang GT to an LS1, not my first tho, second F-Body and I have had 4 mustangs, this time around I went for what had the most power for the money, i like GM and ford and if I coulda afforded the insurance of the '03 cobra then I'd be drivin a cobra right now but its all what you want, but as for the '99 dont do that, it would be a step down from what you have now and you get so much more with the 03' or '04 cobras...stronger IRS, T-56, better looking front and rear fascia's, uhh the eaton SUPERCHARGER, forged internals, 12 sec timeslips stock, and the ability to make 500 rwhp with bolt-ons...so if you can find an '03 cobra then I think it would def be worth otherwise stick with the F-bod....

Do it!

Give the Fbody to someone who needs it and will appreciate it.

Yea - I've got GM blood but I'd drive a Ferrari given the chance so I'm not totaly biased

well what do ya say?? ya want a cobra, thats cool, altho l got my ceta and it turns heads everywhere, l have alota mustang friends and l respect their ride, the ta is unique and a headturner, whats that saying," mustangs are like azz***** everyones got one!!!" dreading when the new camaro comes out, 10 on every street, besides they look like a caddy spinoff!! the ram air design and agressive looks is a one of a kind design, hopefully never revamped, again, ya want a cobra thats your choice, knight rider is out and ya would fit right in, good luck in your decision, but remember why you got your ta to begin with!!

Not for an 01. You'll be disappointed. If I were going to get any year cobra it would have to be a terminator. There's no way I'd step down to an N/A 4.6L.
