Default Cobra or Lightning?

If you had the choice..which would you choose - sorry that neither isn't an option.

Keeping the SS - but it will be paid off..would like an SVT vehicle. Love the cobra..but already have a sports car - sooo perhaps a lightning? Yes? No? Maybe so?

Help!

Thanks,

Amber

Voted Cobra. For a little over a 1000.00 you are in the 11's @ 118 or so on the stock EATON.

I looked at a Lightning my credit union had for sale for a daily driver, after talking to a friend who had one for his daily driver, I realized prety quick the gas mileage would kill me when I have to drive 350+ miles a week on average. They are ncie Trucks, its also nice to have a truck so I voted for the Lightning.

I'd go with the cobra. Best of both worlds. Just my 2 cents.

Obviously you don't know the awsome feeling of having to bad *** sports cars. I love to look at my cars (93 cobra & 01 ram air) and telling myself, "hhmm, which one should I take out tonight". Plus the ladies think it's bad *** when you have 2 sports cars. Go with the cobra. Have you 2 bad mother ******* sitting in your garage!
