Thinking of trading in ws6 or 03..

I think a KB would void your warranty on your engine, no doubt... regardless of pulley size. Do a search on svtperformance.com and you'll see tons of horror stories of voided warranties for lesser crap than a KB.

OK, I'm not going to raise the BS flag yet...


In that case, I WILL!



Unless you have a best buddy service manager, you have no warranty with a KB, let alone a pulley on a stock blower.
Even if your "buddy" warranties it, you better hope an SVT rep doesn't drop by.
After that, the word "oasis" will not be associated with a tropical paradise =o)

I would personally just keep the WS6, you already have a decent amount of money in it. I would do some engine and suspension work then put the juice to it and you would have a 10sec car.

I have owned 3 Trans-Ams and 2 Cobras. I traded my 01 WS6 for an 03 Cobra and have never regretted it.

I signed up on this board because I own a 2001 ws6 and I'm thinking of trading it in for a 03 cobra. Either car is great, but here is the reasons I'm thinking of trading in:

-With an 03 cobra, invest a couple grand and youre at 500 hp. Since I need my car as a daily driver, I wouldnt want to do much more than that. Bringing my ws6 up to 500 hp will be more money.

-03 cobra is 10.2 inches shorter. Don't get me wrong, I think the ws6's long body looks great, but when it comes to snug parking, it would be nicer to have a shorter car.

-I'm not sure about this, but I hear the 03 cobra handles a lot better.

Although, here are the reasons I would want to keep my ws6.
Cobra gets 2 MPG less than the ws6, and even has a smaller gas tank.
The seats in the cobra remind me of truck seats. The bottoms are very tall, which leads me into my next point.
The cobra has 6 more inches of head room.
Speaking of the roof ... i LOVE my t-tops. All the funtion of a convertable without motors and parts that will have to be replaced and fixed several times, and no body flux like the verts have.
Cobras are also 10.2 inches taller. I kind of like my sports car to be a little low.
