32of32 does have a point though, stick a non car enthusiast person with a ws6 and a cobra and ask them what car they think looks better, most would say "the firebird looks way better then the mustang"

ws6 = sexy
cobra = alright looking fast mustang

both cool though
I think you have that backwards, because the only damn thing I see are Stangs. Don't get me wrong, I think 98-02 Ws6s are one of the best looking cars made (way better than any Mustang made), but sales with the Mustang vs. f-bods is in the Mustang's favor.

I love the 03-04 Cobra performance. As a matter of fact, I sometimes wonder should I not spend $12K on my stroker set up for my z28 and just buy a 03-04 cobra and install the new whipple or KB. However, I do think F-Bodies are better looking cars.

No point commenting on the other nonsense really.
How many stroker set ups have raced? How did you do? I have a few friends with cobras and I love those cars.

the thing with that is mustangs sell 70% V6s and 30% V8s(lol, or sorry "V8s") and F-Bods sell More V8s(closer to 60%) than V6s. Or thats what I was told by a GM exec a while ago('00). the funny thing is Ive seen BASE mustangs go for a bit over a cavalier or malibu!

Traded it all for a supercharger.. what a shame But if the old t/a just wasn't making you happy well I can't blame you. Ford did make the cobra faster to attract the camaro and firebird fans.

IMO the 03/04 Cobra's drive like ****. I have a 12 year old Formula LT1 M6 with 120,000 miles on it and I think it is just a much more solid feeling car.
