Default 408 or 96 Cobra

Hi, yesterday i got my *** smoked by a 6.0 camaro full exhaustwith bald tires (runs 12.68)so my guess is i need more cubic inches but a 96 Cobra came with a low price tag on it so i can´t decide if a build my stroker or buy the snake to have some fun, i know buying the cobra won´t make me beat the ´maro so what would you guys do???
thank you for your time

Buy the cobra and supercharge it or build the 408, both will get the job done.

you can have a fox body running 12's, but its still just gonna be the average modded fox you see at the track. Or you can have a true cobra. Either way in the end you should be able to beat some camaro, i think it just comes down to what the vin# means to you

true and its going to be a lot harder to make it fast cause of the 4v mod. ur really only way out is to boost it wit a turbo or supercharge
