    should I do it?

    I know I am probably going to get ripped on pretty good for this here but here it goes. I'm planning on selling my 1998 SS and buying an 03-04 Cobra. I am not a Mustang fan but the Cobra's are a completely different car in my mind. Anyone have any experience with them good/bad? And who knows I might just keep my 'bird and camaro and get a cobra too. I have the space so might as well right? Thanks.

    If you want one get one, if you have considered it I am sure you already weighed the pro's and con's.

    INB4 the INB4 TransAmWs6.

    If you consider yourself a collector buy it and keep all the others. I like the Termi and would love to own one in a large hanger full of cars someday.

    Get one. You will not be dissapointed. Cobras are hard enough to beat when stock. Once modded they are almost impossible.

    How much will you lose on your Camaro? It might be more cost efficient to just throw a blower on the car you have vs buying the Termi. Yeah the Termi has a good motor, but other than that it's just s Stang.

    thats my point lol......you have to compare apples to apples NOT a 10sec cobra to a stock fbody, i dont care that it cost $1000 to get it into the 11/10s....the point is with the same money (total) you can have the samething out of the fbody

    BTW....i have no idea what im talking about
