exactly.....whats the fun in buying an already modded car? the whole point is to have fun modding it. just stick with what you got and put whatever you have saved up into it. and for all the mustang/cobra lovers, if an LS1 came blown straight from GM and was put up head to head with a cobras blown 4.6, we all know who would come up on top like always.

Please, correct me if i'm wrong. i'm just stating how i kind of see it. ![Happy](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_stretch.gif)

I'd go with the Cobra, personally. Of course, I have no brand loyalty at all.
Look at my sig for further proof.
And holy cow, just noticed it was Sonic Blue.......those command a higher dollar that most other colours with the exception of comp orange (i think it's called) and mystichrome. BUY IT!

Stick with the car you have and do something like this:
LME 408 forged iron short block $3,900
ETP 240CC heads $2,550
Ed Curtis custom cam $450
Fast 90/90 $1,100
Moser 9" $2,000
4L80E with converter $3,900
Suspension upgrades $1,000
Slicks $400
NX 200 shot with bottle heater $850
Misc stuff $2,000
Dynotune $350
Running 9's, sipping a soda and beating KB Cobras at the track *PRICELESS*
Your odometer may read 50K+ but the motor is new, the tranny is new, the rearend is new, the suspension is new and your attitude is DEFINATELY new. Terminators are definately bad *** but do you remember the end of the first two terminator movies? The terminators get terminated
But then again,
Your wallet is empty, your wife/GF is leaving you and your credit cards are maxed out
ahh screw it. It's cheaper to just get the Cobra

Even if you hate ford you cant deny that the Cobra is THE BEST BANG FOR BUCK CAR ON THE MARKET....nuff said! The car that you are looking at is probably extremely clean, not abused and will make around 510hp-525tq. Also add up those mods that are done to the cobra with the new axels, BAP, TINT, Pullied, Lower Pulley, Ported blower, HE, and everything else your looking at 5k EASY! Easy low 11's and if you can drive and have a good Tire you could possibly see 10.9's...Its been done quite a few times!

I would get the Cobra because it sounds like a great deal. Especially for all the mods it's coming with. And as far as the mods I'm going to have to disagree the guys on here who say "it's fun modding your car". Modding your car can get expensive, and can start take up a lot of time. Of your two choices the Cobra is definitely faster than the WS-6 and you're only spending $2k more. I highly doubt you could have the WS-6 going as fast as the Cobra for the extra $2k.

i just dont think the 03-04 cobra has proved itself to be long term reliable like the ls1 has. and from what i hear after a few good runs there is much heatsoak in the engine that performance goes downhill fast.

1). Because modded cars are usually raced, beat on and abused.
2). Because it feels more like your car when you chose what stall size, which clutch, what gears, what cam, what power adder or lack there of, and ultimately how fast you want it to go. It's definately expensive but does not have to be time consuming. Just pick the parts and pay a sponsor like New Era Performance to do the installs

If I were to buy Joe Shmos 9 second car it would still be fun to drive. But part of me would never feel like it was my car because someone else decided how fast they wanted to go and what route to get there. That's like buying a completely furnished house. You still get to live in it but you can't exactly take credit for the decorating.

There are alot of haters here and I do like my ls1 car, but I'd probably buy the cobra if it was in good shape and available to me locally.
Modding cars is a double edged sword....money, time, and LOTS of money for a car that is faster and has more quirks and worse driveability.
If I had all the money I've put into mods on different rigs over the last 10+ years I'd almost have enough for a new Z06 (even at 0% interest).

No brainer here in my opinion. Keep your current car and mod IT! What has got you thinking that 60k is anything to worry about? If you want to have a different car to look at setting in the garage etc, then that cobra sounds sweeet! Otherwise keep what you got and have fun. I mean hell, it's YOUR car, so you know it's a good one.....unless there is some unmentioned problems
