Cobra, because you already have an SS. But get black stripes painted on the pewter SS, it will look badass!

Thats a good Idea. He already knows i think he should keep his pewter ss. If you guys could see how clean it is you would say the same thing. His current SS is in good condition

ive had the ss and i like the driving position better,the cobra just feels akward to me it is faster and has alot more potential than the ss and its cheaper to mod if i were you i would just go for the zo6 but thats just me.

my vote goes for the cobra just beacuse its faster.

If I were you I'd either buy a Vette or a Firehawk .
Think about it ford has to put an equalizer (supercharger) on their motor just to keep up with the LSx motors(the vettes). Fast is fast and I cant deny the cobra is a fast car, but look at the potential of a vette. put FI of any kind on a LSx and watch that thing scream at any speed!

Then build the bottom end....

I'd give up my vette before I'd give up my Cobra

What i am saying is that in MY OPINION a boosted camaro is "better" (as in what i prefer)...i'm not starting a boosted camaro vs. 03/04 debate on which is overall a better car..i'm saying what i would prefer and what i would prefer to see the poster of this thread do..

thats so stupid to say...I can turn around and say GM has to use a big high compression motor to keep up with fords lil s/c'ed motors....who do you seriously thank would win if both had 5.7 s/c being as the ford has 4v per cylinder I would put my money on the ford...if they both were equal weight that is....but they arent so stop this stuipd argument on whether ford is better than GM.....

the point is to start off with the best platform to suit YOUR needs...if you want BIG N/A power stick with GM if you want F/I go with cobra i mean its already built for boost..why start with a platform not designed around what you want to do with it?

Thats my $0.2 cents

Oh...ok. I see now. I was under the impression that "better" was a
word used to describe, in this case a vehicle, that somehow outperforms
another. I was mistaken. Apparently, "better" is a word used to describe
one's opinion. That makes sense.

Geeze..i don't understand why you keep bringing this up, you seem alittle touchy to me all i was attempting to get across was my opinion. I am neither educated enough nor experienced enough to enter a debate. All i know is i love CAMARO's and would prefer a boosted camaro (aka think it is "better") over a 03/04 cobra any day of the week. Now are 03/04 cobras awsome cars? YES!! I hope you can udnerstand this, i don't know how to say it any other way..
