Which is better modded?

[pyro71985]

Ok Ive been doing EXTENSIVE research on which car I want....I probably have spent the last month reading and watching videos and figuring this stuff out...right now I have an 01 WS6 (m6) and I either want an 03-04 Cobra or 02-04 Z06....Im trying to see how these compare when modded...and I also need to know how reliable these vehicles are when modded

I have found an 03 Z06 blk/blk with 21k miles for $23,900
I find 03 cobras any color all day for $21k-$25k

See if I bought the cobra I would port, pulley, intake, short throw and nittos
If I bought the Z06 I will probably do exhaust, intake, short throw, nittos, and MAYBE 100/150shot of giggle juice.

All these mods would take time mind you, not right off the bat. Also with this stuff will the cars be reliable?

I can buy KBs and Whipples for the cobra all day long for around $3000, but superchargers for the Z06 seem to be around $6k...I wouldnt probably do either until the car is paid off....

My main question is this! say you have a 500rwhp cobra....what kind of hp does the z need to win, like does the cobra need a 100rwhp over the z to win or less or what?

Heres what I like about each....

Z06 (like)
1 -attention getter (panty dropper as you guys say)
3 -handeling
4 -light weight 3100lbs
5 -$60 CHEAPER insurance
6 -theres no replacement for displacement
7 -can be lowered with no extra money
8 -everyone knows its fast
9 -monster with a supercharger
10 -good gas mileage for what it is

Cobra (like)
1 -Cheap to mod
2 -factory s/c'ed
3 -forged internals
4 -deep muscle car exhaust tone
5 -can be fast for cheap
6 -sleeper (some peeps think "its just a mustang")
7 -blower whine
8 -moster with a whipple / kenne bell

Corvette (dislike)
1 -expensive to mod
2 -every will think "mommy and daddy" paid for it
3 -old, bald man stereo type
4 -some say its to compensate for what you dont
5 -people automaticly know corvette=fast
6 -pop up headlights
7 -no back seat
8 -will probably cost a little more for the vehicle

Cobra (dislike)
1 -WEIGHT 3650lbs
2 -$60 MORE insurance
3 -shifter
4 -clutch stifness
5 -most people think "its just a mustang"
6 -mustangs are EVERYWHERE
7 -bad gas mileage
8 -head tick
9 -cooling issues

PS: If you actually read this far...SORRY ABOUT THE LOOOOOOONG POST

Personally at that price I would go Z06

[juiced99ws6]

you would be surprised at what it costs to mod that zo6 now.. Not near as much as it used to and if you wanted forced induction you could always go the way of an STS turbo for cheap. Or you could get a set of stage 3 heads and a bad ass cam for the same price of a supercharger upgrade on that cobra and blow its heavy ass doors off naturally aspirated. That and you throw a nitrous on the zo6 and itll be insane... just look into your prices again before you decide.. im not lieing to ya.

Z06, easy choice

[ss~zoso~ss]

yea dude, how many people will say cobra on here, maybe the mustang trolls, but i'd go with the vette

[ss~zoso~ss]

i think the Z06 will hold its value better too

[BadBlueBird*]

i think the Z06 will hold its value better too

No doubt..If it was a regular c5 Id go cobra...however I couldnt pass up that z06

[INMY01TA]

i'd take a black ZO6 over a Cobra anyday. Nobrainer.

[94z28l]

zo6

[nhraformula]

being that the cobra weighs alot more than the Z06 you wont have to mod it as much as you think.
heads, cam, headers and tune will easily put you at around 450rwhp on that car.
the cobra would have to make well over 500 to beat you

[tonyjnjz]

u found an 03 z06 with 22k on it for 23,900? jump on that shit quick.....IF it has a clean history..ive never seeen one that cheap/miles and a clean history...YES youll need about a 100 hp advantage with the cobra to keep up with a z06 ......even if u find out that in a straight line a cobra will be faster per dollar modded...itll never out handle/brake the z06 .....or have the same potentional since its so much lighter

Either one can be built to run....so always go with the panty dropper....

[0to60n4.5]

If the Z oh 6 is not totally beat or a previous damaged car than that is a awesome price. Pick it up and make money on it if you don't like it. But I am sure you will like it.

[third_shift|studios]

[StangKiller615]

You should already know this!..................Z06

[SexyAssFormula]

Z06, easy choice

[Tyler_LS1]

Definatly go for the Z06, more rare, Much better attention getter and it will hold value better.

not to mention, they have alot of potential
