Here's what I keep thinking. With the extra money that you'd spend on get'n a supercharged Cobra why wouldn't you use that extra cash to supercharge your LS1?.........OMG,.......then you'd be really kick'n the **** out of a Cobra.

Default POLL: COBRA vs. WS6 #2

Ok well it seems the last poll wasnt very fair considering the cobra was far more modded than the ws6 so I want to see everyones opinion on this one.

03-04 Cobra STOCK

vs

01-02 WS6 STOCK

Cobra being about $2k more

Which would you choose and why, if you were gonna buy a new car....also try not to be biased towards GM even tho they are the best

The WS6 looks better and the difference in price can make up for the difference in performance.

I'd take the Cobra because they are usually cheaper to mod (up to a certain point) and the FI makes a huge difference up here in the land of 5300+DA. Also they are newer than f-bods. There are other reasons too but I don't feel like getting into them.

It's alright I guess, I'm up here closer to Rio Rancho now and like it a lot never thought I would. It's a hell of a drive to the track though!

Personally I would say cobra because I'm in the market for one. They look good, but I don't think they look better than a WS6 or SS....Engine is made to handle boost from the factory. The blower makes me want to bust a nut and the sound of a mustang is just........Well everyone knows about the sound of a mustang. So I voted cobra, but knowing that you already have a WS6 I would just get a built engine and put on a procharger....Then you'll have a REAL BEAST on your hands...

the 03-04 cobra has not shown if it will be as reliable as the ls1. it has a problem cooling the heads. and some more engine design problems. the ford guys talk about it all the time on the svt forum. also i was looking on autotrader and there are alot of em for sale it seems people dont hold on to them very long

I'd take the WS6, but that is all on personal preference. I like the look better, and don't mind being a little bit slower. Of course, that can change very easily.

Yeah...sure.

The bottom line is that you should get the car that you want. Who cares
what we think and creating poll after poll about it is going to get you
nowhere. Make a decision. You can't go wrong with either car.

Do you think it's as easy as slapping a blower on a LS1 and calling it a day?
If so, you should hang out in the forced induction section more.

What do you mean keep up? There is no keeping up when Cobras
are absolutely faster stock for stock. There is no questioning that.

See...I was thinking that GM has to use a big cube high compression
motor just so that could stay within 5 car lengths of a Cobra.
It works both ways...and both arguements are equally as pathetic.

Wake up and have a cup of reality.

Correct, but takes a good amount of money to do so. And im just saying those times were done on a STOCK EATON that was ported for $400. Thats just an idea of where you could go from there. Whipple or KB $3k shipped to your door. Or step up and be a man hellion Single kit $6800 or HPP TT $8000
And we have a few low 9 sec Turboed cars.


BTW the mods that were done to this car arent ones you would want to do if you didnt have to. The build Suspension and build fuel system is something i personally wouldnt want to deal with and now that is done for you. For the "fun to do mods" they havent done to many, plus you can always for Whipple or KB and your going to be !!! So for these guys who say dont buy it becaues its modded and whats the fun? Well everything! knowing you have a clean car, the mods were done professionally and they are all the PITA mods so you dont have to pay for them or find someone to do them for you! Win Win situation if you ask me.

the head problem is only for the cars produced after 11/02/02......you gotta be careful with us cobra owners, i tell people i have head tick all the time and it makes them wanna run me when i say what it is.....BTW, there are 800+HP cars running with head tick just fine. There are no other engine problems otherwise, at least not that i can find in mine or have heard of, and i read LOT about these cars.
