If you can afford it, just keep it. They are nice cars. But, if you could sell it and not take a loss, then you could probably pick up a cheap LS1 f-body and still have just as much fun with less payments.
honda? Might as well turn your ***** in at the counter.

start eating ramen noodles man! its easy to forget how much some people sit around and want what you have, i think you would regret it. i would rather have an 03 cobra than my current car, simply because i'm into living my life 1/4 mile at a time 
i would suck it up, but i dont know your current situation very well, and neither does anyone else on this site. this one's up to you bud, best of luck with whatever you do!

I would sell it. The second SVT comes out with the new Cobras the 03/04 will lose value. You will be able to pick one up for a lot less than what they are going for now. Don't be stupid and just sweat over payments and destroy your credit. If you do that you'll never get a nice car again.

Keep it or get a LS1. It only takes driving a slow car for about a day then you want the power back. I drove my wife's grandpa's grand prix for a day when I got back in my car I was thankful.

Keep it. You will hate yourself forever if you get rid of it. I got rid of mine as I needed a truck. Well it did not last. Not that I am complaining about getting a Z06. But I owned a new truck for about 4 months before I took a loss on Tax, lift kit, rims, tires, and depriciation to get back into a fast car again. Personaly I liked my Cobra alot more than my 02 Z28,but now I like my Z06 alot better than my Cobra. So since you have had both if you like the Cobra more than your old F body dont get rid of the Cobra or you will 
. Now if you liked you F body just as much as your current Cobra then ditch the Cobra and get into a cheaper car. Dam I just contradicted my first sentence. Oh well hope this helps.

The new cobras will come out and these ones will lose value. Sell it .. it's just a car. Why waste your time living like crap just so you can drive a car. It's a status thing for people and some would rather live in a dump of a house only to ride in something nice. Cars are a bad investment.

Well, good luck with the fire fighters school and thanks for doing it btw.
If it was me, I would sell it and get an older LS1 since they are cheap as well. I like food and other items > Car.
