It lives perfectly on the dyno.
Don't act like you know something.

i vote the SS because imo it looks so much smoother. you can also get them to run really quick. sure you can get the cobras up to astronomical #'s but for the price, on used modified ones, you'll likely find an SS that is quite a bit quicker.

get a red cobra with black wheels and black out the lights, put mean as HID's in all the headlights/foglights, and put a pulley on it, if you're not happy do more upgrades and if you get crazy jus spray tha biatch, just get a good tune and it will be scary fast and look good as well.

I didnt vote but i say to keep your SS and buy a cobra like you originally planned on.

lol this thread is amusing. we have on one hand non mustang owners attesting to the greatness of cobra's, then actual stang owners making half way made up claims to their abilities and yada yada. seriously dude if you have the option to buy a second car go get a cobra, this forum is waaaay to biased to get any sort of advice. go test drive one and then choose
also why are we arguing power levels and stock cobra motor vs FI ls1's? its not even a legitamate comparison. its like trying to argue the reliability of a 500whp honda motor. either setup no matter how built will still die with to much detonation on a hot day with high boost on 93 octane.
who cares what it cost to be fast. IMO cost isnt something i would factor into something i would plan to build. hell its a car, it depreciates everytime you hit the gas, its not as if it was a sound investment at any point of ownership. buy whatever you can stand to be in for more than an hour at a time. i can count on 1 hand how many fast cars ive owned that where a total bucket to ride in due to bad driver placement etc.

You think it's as easyas "putting a supercharger on a bone stock SS" huh? There's a hell
of a lot more to it than that.
