390HP vs 425HP. Vette handles better stock. Cobra has better/cheaper mod potential.

Personally I chose a C6ZO6.

Two completely different cars in two completely different price ranges.

You're talking what...20-25K for an '04 Cobra vs 30-55K for an '05-'08 C6

It would help if we knew what your price range and intentions for the car were?

If you drive a 'Vette people will think you're an a-hole with a small penis before they ever meet you.

Vettes blow, Cobra's have blowers.

Usual Mustang guys like to buy the less expensive Fords to blow away the "Rich" persons garage queens, so we can laugh at them at the next light.

That's how I see it. Kinda why I like the Grand Nationals back in the day embarassing the vette owners......

I owned a Vette, upgraded to a Cobra. Sold the Cobra to upgrade to a C5 FRC, sold the FRC and upgraded to a Termi. I am afraid to drive a new Vette cause I might decide to "upgrade" again.

Depends on what your looking for. The vette is all around better other than the price. You have to remember the vette was ranked the number one sports car in the world. It has better handling than any other domestic production car and it looks mean and has the power to back it up. I personally love mustangs but if I was offered a vette over my car Id take the vette. But I think there are more regular vettes out there than 04 cobras. So It just depends on what you want at that point

Can't beat a factory car with a blower. The 03-04 is great because the mods are cheap and there are so many to choose from.

But, stock 03-04 Cobras are not that impressive. That is why most people upgrade the blower pulley or the blower itself.

The Z06 is sweet and many modded cars can edge one out, but there still is no comparison. Say a modded fox body beats one, it's still a fox body vs. the refinements of a Z06.

Not now a days no, but back in '03 when they hit the showrooms, a stock 12-second Mustang with a full 3-year factory warranty was practically unheard of.

What year Vette are we talking about? 04? If we are compairing the 06-09 Z06 and take $ out of the picture its a no brainer. Even with the LS7 issues.

If we are looking at a 04 cobra against a 04 C6. The only sticking point is $. Performance wise the Vette beats the cobra in every aspect of driving. We are talking stock vs stock.

Even though I have always loved corvettes and would love to own one from every generation, I would still choose the cobra. I am a mustang guy so its where my heart is. I am 25 now and can't picture myself in a corvette, it just wouldn't feel right.
