I am thinking about getting a new car I don't know if i should get a 03 cobra, a ford lighting or a f150 harley davidson. I could really use a truck but i really like the cobra. The thing is that I have a 86 gt already thats pushing about 380hp and the other car that I do get will be for cruising or weekend car thats it really.i would like you guys opinions on this thanks.

does your 86 have a power adder? If not then you probably have more like 300 hp. Lightning gets my vote too.

If you are keeping your current ride, get the Lightning. If not you'll be needing a Cobra or another Mustang.

Being without Mustang is very depressing.

Ill be using my Lightning to tow the car to the track,they are great trucks indeed.

I got a 99' witch is the first year of the 2nd gen. Lightnings.

4lbs lower pully,Predator tuner with custom JLP tune,C&L MAF (the 01's and new have a 90mm MAF and are fine,just need a good filter) w/K&N filter,Bassani cat-back,and 4.10 gears.I also have the correct year chrome wheels and lowered 3" in the back.

Hoping for a low 13,maybe break into the 12's.

Yea I was thinking the lighting but I like the fact the harley davidson has the super crew and is the same set up as the lighting. But the cobra is bad. I was thinking of either keepin my stang and getting a truck or get rid of the stang and get a cobra and a beater truck.

I was going to get a lightning last year....I flew out to New jersey to get it...didn't happen.

but anyways. a lightning is quick but can get tight in the cabin. I would drive it for a long test drive first.
