Let's Play A Game...

[travj31]

Out of the cars listed below, what would you rather own and why? I've listed prices that would be associated with the year/mileage so savings could come into factor with your answer as well. Also, all cars are 100% stock. HP #'s and 1/4 Times are stock times that have been posted by magazines.


(03-04 Cobra w/under 40,000 miles - 390 HP, 12.90's 1/4, etc.) $18-23k

(02-04 Z06 w/under 25,000 miles - 405 HP, 12.70's 1/4, etc.) $22-28k

(07-09 GT500 w/under 15,000 miles - 500 HP, 12.70's 1/4, etc.) $35-40k

(03-06 Viper w/under 15,000 miles - 500 HP, mid 12's, etc.) $40k-50k

Viper...it holds its value better than any of the other cars listed.

[pop's stang]

+2 on the Viper. :awsome:

[racefan]

Same goes for me, Viper,,,,,:woot1:

[Terminated]

03/04 Cobra, best bang for buck, 2 year only rarity, and just flat out the coolest looking of above listed cars.

This is a 100% un-biased opinion.

[TooFast98Cobra]

I have driven and owned almost all of them, the 06-09 Zo6 is my fav. performance/looks wise. wanna buy one?

[Stangman701]

I'd say if you wanna turn heads get the viper. Nothing else on that list would come close to the "oooh look at that" effect. Best bang for the buck would probably be the cobra. Most likely gonna get lower et's for your dollar with it and still have a cool car that you don't have to worry about fixing every other week.

[travj31]

haha not yet... possibly in the near future though:awsome:

[scott5]

C6 zo6 end thread.

[White5.0]

Terminator

-damn near bullet proof engine

-potential, potential, potential

-best bang for your buck without question compared to others

-more practical (though not by much) than the viper or vette

-huge aftermarket

-the new camaro is gayness

^This is the car I would get since I am into cars. However, if I was just rich and wanted some females, the Viper lol

[TooFast98Cobra]

C6 zo6 end thread.

X2!!!!

[SonofaBish]

this will prob come as no surprise - but i truly believe this - the C6 Z06.....

and really - 'vettes aren't that unpractical... they look like they are, but their only downfall is not having rear seats... there's just as much trunk room (or more) than my T/A, and it holds a set of golf clubs like a glove! plus, as a car to race around, you can't get any better... the torque on that 427 is like that of a modified cobra, and the car just flat out hauls in completely stock form, let alone once you add just a few mods...

Only place i see it being unpractical is for daily driving... and only because of the ride... it is BONE JARRING stiff....

[Mark Aubele]

^^^ I don't think the C6Z's are overly stiff at all, then again I drove a car with 750lb. coilovers daily so what do I know...

I would go for the Viper if it is a GTS or an ACR, hate the roadsters for some reason.

If not, C6Z all the way, although they do like to blow up on track every now and then (road course).

[John4cam]

C6-z06

This ^^^ Un-biased opinion as well... :highfive:

[u1arunit]

C6 Z06 is my pick. See sig. :awsome:

Most of those who know me are aware that I had a '04 Terminator before this car. Both cars are cool for sure and are hard to beat modded.

I got the chance to drive my boss' 2008 Viper when it was almost new. It was cool but not refined at all and I could not see myself driving the thing for any length of time without wanting to scream get me outta this thing.

BTW the C6 Z06 does not ride that hard at all. I took a 6 hour trip home in mine and felt completely rested when done. No back or leg discomfort at all. Hell, even the wife did not complain when we took the PA turnpike. lol

[Sonic03snake]

03 / 04 Cobra all the way, all the other cars are womens rides.:goodidea:

[97LaserRed]

Turbo viper

[blksunshine88]

03/04 Cobra for sure if I LOVE the Viper but if I was going to spend 50k I'd buy the cobra and LOTS of GOODIES!!

[PaxtonShelby]

Let's add a 2012 Boss 302 with lots of boost to the list!!! :goodidea:

[03 OW SVT]

03, 04 Cobra all the way. My 03, had some decent mods and it was just .10th of a second slower than a ZR1 Vette, in the 1/4 mile and i only spent a 1/3 of what a new ZR1 costs.

[SonofaBish]

seriously - you're gonna use that argument? this forum is more and more ricer every day...

For only a fraction of the cost of your cobra i could mod my Acura with a 4,000 shot of nawz and own your cobra...

sounds like a pretty stupid argument, doesnt it?

man - call me a liar i guess.... i thought the one i was in was pretty darn stiff... i had the QA1's on my 'Vette pretty stiff, and i still thought they rode softer than the C6Z...

[racefan]

Thats cus you can't get in a Viper!!!!!!:woot1:

[Sonic03snake]

Need a skirt for that.;)

[somethingclever]

Need a skirt for that.;)


Did Lou get a new ride????????

[Sonic03snake]

Did Lou get a new ride????????
Nope. ; )

[SonofaBish]

Nope. ; )
I was kinda wondering to myself... hmm, he called all the other rides women's rides??? lol

agreeed. I can put money in my trans am and have it in the 9s for less than what i could buy a new gt 5.0 or any of those cars listed or a new 5th gen camaro

[Stroked03Cobra]

03/04 Cobra for sure if I LOVE the Viper but if I was going to spend 50k I'd buy the cobra and LOTS of GOODIES!!

+1 on that, pretty much what I am doing!

[speedracer]

Nope. ; )
Slightly used?

He asked for a reason why we chose what we did and i gave him one. I don't know why you feel the need to insult me or make the "ricer" comment but if that makes you feel good, then so be it.

If your only reason to be on here is to rip on our Mustangs, (which is pretty much all you do) why are you on here?

[Sonic03snake]

Slightly used?
Yep, the blue car is gone to altoona.

[AutomagicSN98]

The Prius.

[ModularMike]

Yep, the blue car is gone to altoona.
You trade Brian?

[Sonic03snake]

You trade Brian?
Yep.:thumbsup:

[scott5]

After seeing Lou's new car yesterday it does look mighty sexy!

[PaxtonShelby]

What did Lou get??? - oh wait - just saw his new avatar - damn that's purdy!!

[phillysrt4]

assuming that any of these cars in the list are paid for cash....

id say 07-09 GT500. Aftermarket is well matured now and i've always liked the "vibe" of the GT500 and the cars they are trying to compete against.

second would be the 03-04 cobra for many of the reasons listed above.

[u1arunit]

man - call me a liar i guess.... i thought the one i was in was pretty darn stiff... i had the QA1's on my 'Vette pretty stiff, and i still thought they rode softer than the C6Z...

It's all subjective I guess Bish. :beerchug:

Ummmm, Yea, all I do is rip on mustangs... :rotflol:
That's just the typical b.s. that is automatically thought when I don't have a mustang listed in my sig...

Didn't realize calling u out on ur comment would "insult" you... Ur skin must not be very thick eh?

[SonofaBish]

It's all subjective I guess Bish. :beerchug:
not saying i wouldn't GLADLY deal with such an awful predicament ;)

Yeah, I hear ya. :rotflol:
