ORIGINAL: 03SilverGT

Just get one of each, thats what i did
And which one is faster?
The cobra. the 5.0 has lotsa mods to, f-303 cam, edelbrock RPM aluminum heads, new pushrods, rocker arms, APR head bolts, Trickflow EFI intake manifold upeer and lower, 75MM MAFS, 65MM Edelbrock TB, 24LB injectors, Hooker Headers, MAC cold air intake, 3.55 FR gears, O/R H-pipe, 190LPH fuel pump, and flowmaster cat back.
The cobra only has a BBK CAI, UPR off road Xpipe and magnaflow cat back and it will pull many about 6-7 Car lenths on the 5.0

What's so great about this debate? Who, other than a fat guy named Jim Bob in a dirty wife beater, would choose a foxbody over an 03/04 cobra?

id say the 03-04 cobra platform is better, just my experiance with both cars, its a night and day diff in the way the cars feel, the cobra feels a lot better and more solid. just my .02

If you were givin your choice of one, no one, but if you dropping your money on it... I would take a fox over a Gt sn/new edge any day, but when you throw in the C word...

I say it depends on the platform type street, drag, or track. I would choose the fox for drag mostly because already solid rear and lighter, then cobra for street because of irs, looks, comfort, power. Now track would normally be cobra(irs), but i recently read an magazine with some guy swapping a cobra's irs setup on a fox, and that might be better.

BTW what is platform? Because in all reality everything can be improved with $$, besides the body. Just fox cheaper snake expensive.

Just the losers who know how to work on cars and the other asshats who think the sn-new edge models look like something a MILF would own.
