When you throw in the blower sounds too, its really an amazing sound. And I think that the cobra looks meaner anyways, but i'm not really a ws6 fan though.

OR



Both are badass cars imo. Save your coin and get both, or sell your wifes car and get her in a WS6.

Interesting. I'd keep the Cobra though, one of the few Fords I'd ever be caught owning possibly some day.

I vote for the WS6. I didn't like how I fit in the 03/04 Cobras and like the looks of the WS6 a lot better.

I would just wait. Its a car, and the value will come down with time. Just keep saving, its a win-win situation.

I love 03/04 Cobras, but would I trade my car in on one? Nope. Would I buy an 03/04 Cobra? Of course.

And they are modded f-bods against basically stock Cobras. Don't get me wrong I am a F-body guy through and through but I have seen a few 03-04 Cobras that could whoop some ***. I respect them. All the ones I see on YT are IRS and the SRA conversion REALLY lets them put the power to the ground. The dudes who are really serious run SRA and get down the track.....

I just wouldnt want to downgrade, i would want(if I went through with selling the cobra) low mile (under 30K) ws6 with at least 415 rwhp. My car now has about 466 rwhp with just a intake exhaust upper pulley and ported throttle body and plenum. After the stage 5 port next month ill be well up to 5xx rwhp with the supporting mods and a nice tune. I know some might ask well if you have that much power why not keep it. Its that NA power thats killer bc my cars blower gets hot quick and i dont know if i want to opt for a KB or whipple for 3500+ supporting mods.

my boltons and cam z28 beat a bolton 03 cobra from a 30 roll by 6 or 7 cars up until 150-ish when he started to catch up a little. i hate the interiors of the new edge mustangs, just tacky looking. and going to a SRA is a must.

My assumption is you have payments on the cobra (didnt read all the posts) - buying a 98-02 camaro or ws6 will drop payments by a LOT..

Then you throw an exhaust on, intake, and do a cam and heads with a shot of nitrous - you can already spank a lot of cars... have a sexy sound to it... and have more money in your pocket. Oh and T Tops when you just wanna cruise.. cmon! lol

Example: I went from an 04 STi with a butt load of mods to my 99 camaro.. make more power for half the cost on parts and payments ... AND insurance.

i miss the t tops...but your right, the payments on the cobra are killing me which its making it hard for me to mod..in my area though its hard to find a nice ws6..most of them have a million miles on them and they are beat to ****..and those are the ones that you can find..they aren't for sale as much as they used to be. very hard to find in the Long Island NY area..they are very over priced also
