I vote for the SS granted each of the cars have the pro's and cons.

Haha black fang, thats a pretty nice collection of late 90's muscle you got there. I like all the Cobras, I just never remembered to consider them when purchasing my LS1. Plus, you are obviously an unbiased guy on the boards.

hey i don't want for it to sound like i am betraying ls1's but it would depend on what looks you like best imo. the cobra feels more refined and smoothe but not as fast as the ss. i do believe they handle better than stock ss's due to the independant rear suspesion. i just like the camaro looks better but yah...and stock for stock.. i dont believe that the ls1 is that much more superior. yes faster but not by a whole lot lol.

Yeah. I like both the Cobras and F-Body mainly w/LS1's. I couldn't decide, so we got both.

As for being unbiased, some of the mustang guys on other sites don't think that. Hey, I guess the truth sometimes hurts All I know is I spent more money for my Cobra to be faster than my LS1, but it sure will take 1/4 of what I put into the Cobra to severely change that.

My suggestion is go onto a mustang board and pose the same question. See what you get then compare the results from both sites.

well imo, if you are comparing a 2001 cobra to an ls1 ss, i'd say the ss handsdown. now most of the guys have mentioned this already, but if it were to be 03/04 cobra, then that is a different story. and even so i would think about it twice. decide which ever best you like since it will be YOUR ride!

talk about a win win situation.... Both are bad *** cars. But with that being said. SS is cheaper and faster. That would seal the deal for me. SS gets my vote.

Yes, but the 03+ has a better/stronger IRS that the 99/01's

I think it comes down to which body and interior you like more. The SS is faster, but the cobra has the IRS. Drive both and decide which one you like more.

No such thing as a 2000 or a 2002 Cobra.

Any 99+ body CObra has IRS. Last ones with a live axle was the 98.

That settled. I would go with the SS.

Besides the 03/04 cobra the only ones I would get is a 93 and a 98 and that would only be base on looks and preferance, not performance at all.
