WS6(98-02 F body) or 03 Cobra(03-04 Terminator)
Remember now, I am talking about the engines. So it shouldn't matter what they are in since we are not discussing anything else. Like I said before, when I said that they are faster that was meant to be sort of a joke because it is off topic.

And to the OP, I hope you got what you were wanting before these guys decided they wanted to start an argument over my post.

Cobra hands down! My 03 was a beast on the stock blower with upper and lower pullies and full bolt ons! Made 480rwhp and 486 torque. Takes a lot more money and time to get that power out of a WS6. Not to mention the block comes capable of handling up to 1000rwhp out of the crate.

Maybe it's just me, but I'm not sure what you are saying... Can you clarify?

All the cars I listed either had mod motors or ls motors...you stated the f body was better due to the motor being better than the cobra...each car I listed had one or the other

I also made those references to the cars because when we were comparing the f body to the cobra you added in a vette, implying it was better, well you can always throw a better car in the mix...that's all I was trying to state

Maybe I didn't make it very understandable...some things sound better in my mind than on a forum

Ohhhh.. I gotcha. Yea the whole cobra/vette/fbody/GT thing came from when i said "E- They are faster" I think. Lol, people flipped out about that a little. Surprisingly. All of the things I don't like have been about mod motors though, not car specific.

Don't have time to read the whole thread, but also to take into consideration is price. Cobra depending on mileage/condition will be almost 5-8 grand higher than a fbody.IMHO cobras are over priced.

True. And I might've thought that until I drove one!

While it's still an aging modular 4.6, it's the fact that it's a solid, built, better modular 4.6 with that nice little blower on it right from the start that makes it worth the extra cost. For a non car-guy type like me, having that setup done right from the factory is a serious consideration. I'd rather spend that money up front than try to add it all that afterward and trust that it gets done right. Of course, I know for some folks the work is half the fun, but I'm not one of those folks...
