Either way, your Camaro in your sig looks way better. I love the ZR-1 rims on Camaros. It's kinda makin me want to get another Camaro instead of a T/A.

Cobras just holds their value better than Fbodies. from a performance standpoint, the Fbody LS1 beats them in just about everything. even the ergonomics is better in the Fbody. the seats in my '97 Cobra is extremely uncomfortable.

The later Cobra's (99,01) were very comparable to an F-body. There problem was they cost more than the F-bodies for a car that was comparable. Handling, braking and ride quality were better on mine than the ones I had driven. Also performance #'s are very close even thought the LS1 is easier to extract the peformance from.
