Mod the Z28. Put an SS hood on there, too. Keep it.

if you can swing the cobra, id say go for it. its the only mustang id ever consider, but at least in my case the insurance was outrageous compared to any of my other cars. i sold it after a few months of getting it and used the money to buy my ls1 trans am which power wise was a downgrade but ive always wanted a bird so it was fine. hate to say it but for the most part
cobra> ls1

Why do that when you can just twin-screw a Cobra and put 600+rwhp down on the STOCK BLOCK?
Or turbo a Cobra and put over 1,000+rwhp down on the STOCK BLOCK.

Because you would still be in a ford?

Just kidding of course. But for the price of a cobra + all that he could have a 600+ hp camaro that would walk the blown one.

A Couple questions for you...
1.]Is the HO paid off?
2.]Original or second owner?
3.]How much do you have in it?
4.]What made you dislike it?

Cobra's are nice but you will most likely have a car payment again, your insurance wont be bad but will most likely be more since it is a newer car and worth more. These are the reason I didn't buy one and went with the Z-28 i picked up.

I might get a Cobra in the future who knows. If you're car is paid off I would keep it and figure a way out to get the Cobra too. Then you can turn your car into a street/strip beast since it is already an auto.

Pulley and do the basic mods to the Cobra and have a DD that is a lot of fun and still quick enough to beat 80-90% of the cars you'll come into contact with...thats my advice
