KB cobras are just bad ***! C6 Z06s are sexy and fast! Well he is probably going to have to throw some extra money at the vette just to get it or be making payments... not sure if he is now? I would stick with the cobra and throw a KB on it asap.

well the 03s tend to have a little bit of head problems which were solved in 04. but the c6 z06 is one hell of a car. in my opinion the vette looks better and would be a ton of fun but the cobra would be my way to go. all that push button start and push button open the door is dumb imo and if you can make some serious power with a cobra do it. though i never liked the way mustangs respond to the throttle. it always seems a bit slow, though the moms c5 does seem to respond a bit slower too.

Now dont get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with a KB (Well, i prefer the big whipple) Cobra, but if i could afford it, id go with the C6Z. Cant beat how light it is, and how well it handles. And you can make one pretty damn fast with just a cam, intake and exhaust.

Ha, well I'm not much of Ford guy, but the thing is pretty fast now for just bolt-ons. I'll give him that at least. I just told him the Vette looks way better and also has potential to be just as fast but more $$$$$ in the end....

Oh yea no doubt. From what i've heard and seen the Cobras with very little easy mods can make some big gains. Tell him to do a little weight reduction if he keeps the cobra. If they weighed the same as vettes.... oh my..

Is this a serious thread?

The C6 Z06 is always going to be two steps ahead of the Cobra.... this is coming from a guy that used to be all about Cobras. I would still own one but if I had the choice between the two, I'd pick the C6 Z06

You pretty much almost answered your own question.

C6 ZO6. A stock one with DR's will be good for 10s in good air. Plus it's got stock reliability and a warranty. Honestly there's no comparison.

Not much of a question there.

Cobra = F-body
C6 Z = Ford GT

I really like the Cobras, but to me the Z06 is a step above in quality and all around performance.
