Default looking to get new car...help!

hey guys,
im looking at upgrading to a new car, and i was looking in the local auto trader paper and i saw a 2004 terminator putting down 459rwhp and 490lb/ft of torque with 32k miles for $26,000...now my question, is this a good deal?
i also saw an 03 vette z06 supercharged with 24k miles and putting down 630rwhp for $38,000, is this a good deal?
which one would y'all take? not just for racing, but for a DD?

the cobra is a little over priced, but inorder to buy a stock one and make it have that kind of power it would cost you just as much. if that helps. i would say the vette is priced about right.

lol Z06 FTW. If its in your price range.

you cant argue a s/ced z06.




Also with any car, something to keep in mind, is that mods devalue the car rather than increase the value.
That tip helps alot when haggling with the dealerships.

Plus mods are going to be ALOT more expensive for the vette. Like a cat-back for the mustang will run you about 400 bucks where is a cat-back for the vette will run you about 1000 bucks. See the difference. I would personnally sit down and think it over because I would probably go with the vette on impulse but, when you think about it the cobra will be much cheaper to mod in the long run.

I agree 100% there. Yea, the cobra is a lil overpriced but not bad... kind of basically if the mods are what you want on the car anyways... they are worth it. The vette is nice... so its a close call. I'd vote for the cobra, but of course I'm biased a lil.
