WS6 vs Silver 03-04 cobra I should have mentioned this in my other thread but got one solid race in with a silver Cobra with at least exhaust on it and it had the extra pillar gauges so I should have known he might have been "extra" modded,anyways I get next to him at around 25mph or so see him downshift I "thought" he would spin some and I would jump out on him but no sir we both hit it and he pulls me bye 2 cars at around 80-85 come to the next light inwhich I turn left gave him the thumbs up he chunks a duece and we go about our business! I swear I have to have the longest losing streak in what I thought was a quick car(7.9 1/8 mile untuned,it's now tuned though) I have to do one of three things?
1. buy a 03-04 cobra
2. buy a 03-04 Mach1 and add nitrous and the other bolt ons
3. drop a nasty lil' cam in the WS6 and maybe add nitrous to it?
any other suggestions or thought's on my three picks would be appreciated!

Add the cam! Cammed LS1 cars with a cutout sound like sex! Although I'd like to own a 03/04 Cobra since I already own a 97 Cobra the next performance vehicle I buy will more than likey be an LS1,2,3 car. GTO or Trans Am.

Yea, I think you already know that you don't need to buy a new car to get faster. Just toss a few more $$$ at the Ellis and be done with it. It's always a neverending battle.......trying to be faster than the next guy that pulls up to you.

Of course, if NA is your thing, a bolt-on Mach with a healthy shot of laughing gas is no slouch either.

Damn bro, thats sad.
Honestly, I would add a cam, springs and tune at this point since that is the cheapest easiest way. Thats still only going to put you right beside an average pullied Cobra (117-120 mph traps) but it is the cheapest easiest way right now.
BUT, if you install a cam and then decide to sell it for an 03 Cobra (thats what I would do, really
) then the modded/cammed car may, MAY be harder to sell.
I would honestly go for a Cobra and then new twin screw all the way. Hell I still think about it and I went to a C6. Thats how much fun those f-in cars are. I really miss mine. With the new fuel mods, larger s/c inlets (known restriction) and larger throttle bodies these days, they have become even stronger but very few in numbers. 650-700rwhp now on pump gas!!

thanks man I'm really considering it again? if this dealer can make me an offer I can't refuse then I will probably grab it! the WS6 would probably make a better track car but I hardly ever go anymore! and the Cobras have better blocks,and trannys and rearends so just adding the exhaust pulley,heat exchanger and tune could possibly put it at 500rwhp and a HWY/DD killa!
Bro, let me tell you, with a decent tire and a fw adjuster/quadrant (they make the clutch release more predictable, and its butta with a Spec 3+) it will launch and hook just fine. I mean as well as any other car with 450rwtq @ 3K anyway.
Good luck.

Cam that bitch and stop whining. Vindicator II and a 150 shot and say hello to a good deal of the KB/Whipple Cobras out there for WAY less money.
(I know, not necessarily ALL KB/Whipple Cobras, but for like $2,000 you can cam and spray the WS6 vs the money to buy the Cobra and throw a KB or Whipple at it - no brainer to me if you really do like the WS6)
