MaTS1200 Posted January 18, 2005 Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 other than a boring straight-line. I vote for the Vette. [/QB]Maybe boring for you there Mario Andretti but he like myself may enjoy it greatly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowgli1647545497 Posted January 18, 2005 Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 Also, and depending on how sadistic you are this may sway your opinion: People don't mind losing to a Z06 so much, but they hate, HATE, losing to a Mustang. Cobra or no. In other words, its much more fun rubbing people's noses in it in a Cobra, cuz you just KNOW, you KNOW, that guy in the other car is frigging hating life losing to a domestic dinosaur low buck found on road dead. That goes for many folks on here and pretty much every snot nosed kid in a slammed honda you'll come across on the road. Nothing in life is so sweet as making a hater chew on it. Course, I'm just a jerk that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boost-n-Juice Posted January 18, 2005 Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 Z06 better quality? That's hard to swallow. I say Cobra if you plan on racing it and modding it (which I know you will). Ford events make Chevy events look stupid, you've got FFW and NMRA. If you're looking for something to "pimp" and some occasional track time then I would go with the Z06 hands down.

MrMeanGreen Posted January 18, 2005 Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 Lemme mention, though.... Rolling up to the owner of a '03-04 Cobra who knows their car is faster than your run-of-the-mill Firebird and most anything else on the road and watching their faces when you walk them. That's funny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that's funny... tongue.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's funny I remember a certain Firebird getting beat by not 1 but two 03 Cobra's. A lot of HP not always such a good thing. tongue.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wease Posted January 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 Originally posted by Regulate: You give up too easily tongue.gif It has nothing to do with giving up. It has to do with the fact that I do very well financially and I'm ready to move on to another car. I can only own something 3 or 4 years before I get bored with it and want something else. Besides, I've proved plenty with my car. Running quicker than some heads/cam cars is quite an accomplishment, considering how little I've put into it. Time to get something else and have some fun with it... graemlins/thumb.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And don't forget, I have a 14 year old daughter (yes, I'm only 30) who starts college in less than 4 years. Lots of stuff to plan for and buy, other than more cars... smile.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
