    I need opinions

    I just said forget it and decided to man up and just keep my 95 till i get out of school and just leave it the way it is and save up money for a a car for when i get out of school (hoping a termy) once i am settled in, but i hang out with a bunch of chevy guys and they said that the lsx motor is better than the cobra.. I do not want to start any fights or any harsh words bashing one or the other, but my question is if you had to pick one or the other would you guys stick with your cobra or if you would you get an lsx car? And could you post the reasons why you answered the way you did.. THanks guys

    I love my Cobra. I don't like the 'regular' LSx cars.

    I have had Vettes, Camaros, two Grand Nationals, and three Stangs now. I don't care for GM's quality or look over the Fords.

    The only car that I see as being a step up from my car is a new Z06 Vette. I wouldn't take a 'regular' Vette over my car at all.

    im a die hard ford guy and the cobra is first on my list but you cant go wrong with the lsx motors. they are reliable and with a few of the right mods, they fly.

    I'd have to agree with Mark on this one. I wouldn't get rid of my car to get an F-body or a GTO. I would consider going for a regular C5/C6 vette, I'd call that a lateral movement I guess. C6Z would be nice, but not worth the $$ IMO.

    ok, i didnt say anything wrong in my other post i didnt think no biggie

    I really like the cobra's, think they sound great, their performance speaks for itself, and they're good looking cars - but i'm the exact opposite of Mark... i really dont like mustang interior in any way, shape or form, and i think that Trans Am's and Vettes look 10x better than any mustang.... ( i do however like the look of a cobra more than a plain-jane camaro).... I don't feel that ford quality is any better or worse than that of GM, and in all honesty i've had more issues with fords in the past than any GM vehicle... Only Ford i've ever owned and liked is the one i currently have - but that's b/c of looks/feel - havent had it long enough to know if it'll cause me issues...

    I think it all depends on what you wanna do with it... If you don't want to throw much money at it and mod it too much, the cobras are much easier modded to 500whp than a LSx car... but a LSx car is much cheaper to buy in the first place (greater supply), & if you love to mod the thing and tinker around, for less $ overall, you can have one hell of a monster

    But more seriously, in the time i've known you, you've gone back and forth 8 billion times over what you want... i say get something and stick with the damn thing!!!!!!! LOL

    Nothing was wrong with the post bish. The OP (scott5) asked Terminator owners: "question is if you had to pick one or the other would you guys stick with your cobra or if you would you get an lsx car?"

    Sorry mark, I was getting ready to say you can post this in a different section..

    I am taking into consideration what everyone is saying and there opinions on their cars. I just wanted to see if there are any regrets to the purchases. Because the bolt-on gains are about the same and both 6-speeds, the t/a and termy are the best looking cars out IMO and who better to ask than the people who own them.. So thats why i started this thread is to get some feedback from the source.

    that is what i am thinking. I love Ford and my girl is not too big of a chevy girl and would probably kill me if i bought one, but for the fun factor cant get any better than a whining car that comes stock like that.

    you gotta figure with a termy you already have that power adder an bing bang boom a pulley exhaust and you close to 500. compared to a t/a which would require a bit more.

    I like the Termy's just because thats what I choose. I have nothing against the TA's or the Camaros. I just like having a factory blower on the car already without having to buy an aftermarket one. However If I ever have the $$$ to buy a ZO6 or new ZR1, trust me the Termy would be gone in a minute.

    i've always been a ford/stang guy but ever since i bought(since wrecked) my T/A i want another one now. i've only ridden in ed (viper ed) cobra before he got rid of it and it was nice. i liked the power my t/a put out with hardly no add-ons (no it wasent a 12 sec car but it had some power and still was a nice weekend cruzier)

    everyone has there own opinion, you should really go with with whatever you like the most scott
