Default Which would you rather have?

Well since you all who responded to my earlyer question say the 03-04 Cobras are bad ***. Let me ask you all this. Would you rather have a fast as hell Fox, or a 03-04 cobra? I'm asking cause I'm thinking of selling my 92 Gt and getting a cobra, but I hate to part from my 92. I have always love the foxes, and they are kinda hard to come by clean anymore.

I'd rather have the nice $5,000 foxbody with the left over 20,000-25,000 dollars put into it. Think about it, you could have a nice forged block, forged internals, H/C/I, blower, supporting mods, tranny, suspension, tires and drive train and probably a paint job and have your interior renewed for that much and maybe a few bucks left over.

i like the fox, there have been a few times when I had the oppertunity to get another car in place of mine (95 carrera 98vett) but there is just something about my car in a certain angle that I just can't give up. Or like when i drive by a store with a tinted window and I see the reflection... it just looks so good, so badass it's like muscle combined with sleekness idk how to explain it but its definetly there, and that, combined with the sound, just so sweet.

gotta say the 5.0 for the same reason above man. i picked up my super clean '91 gt for $3,800. i could only imagine if i had another $30,000 to put into it.

True but I don't have 20Gs on me at this point to mod my 92. And the way I want the car it would take that. A little at a time stuff sucks.

well, the 03 cobra blocks will handle well over 700hp, and with mabye 5 grand in upgrades you could get 600-700rwhp in a cobra.
and they come stock with a forged rotating assembly.

but the 5.0s are easy to make power for way less money, and the foxes just look so much better.
next year I will be pushing around 650rwhp with a dart 363 stroker, all forged and a 300 shot of nitrous.
total for engine parts is around 15000, car was 3900,
so I will have an unbreakable bottom end that will handle anyting I can throw at it, and I will have a nicer, way faster ride for around half the price of a 03 cobra.

I VOTE FOX
