A decision requiring hoon assistance; Cobra or GTO
been a while since I posted up here, but I know you guys can help me out with a decision...
2003-4 SVT Cobra or 2005-6 GTO????
I am looking at 2 cars locally and plan to take both for a spin tomorrow but wanted some opinions first.
The Cobra is owned by a friend of a friend who is a mechanic and has the usual basic boltons (cat back, x-pipe, SCT tuner rear diff bushings, etc.) and is clean with low miles.
The GTO looks clean but I know nothing about it until I check it out tomorrow or this weekend.
I am leaning towards the cobra. stock for stock the cobra is slightly faster looks and sounds meaner and the S/C whine is totally badass. The GTO on the other hand is more comfortable, better mileage and goddamn does an LS2 reving out sound good. I imagine the GTO will be more reliable being a N/A LS2 as well but I think the looks of the car drag it down.

Being a big boy, I would have a hard time buying the Mustang because I don't fit well, but it would depend what I was using the car for. If I just wanted to roll to the store, slide around a few corners and make some ricers look stupid I'd go Mustang because it does look cooler. If I wanted a car to travel in and still blow off everything in town I'd be lookin at that GTO. All in all I have to say I'd probably be driving the GTO because I like being comfortable. That Mustang is sweet but has one of the most cramped floorpans around...seems like the 6 speed was an afterthought and they race clearenced the pan to fit it in there leaving no room for legs.

HAHAHA!
I seriously thought about a vette or a rx7 FD.
Since this is my divorce present to myself and I took primary custody I do infact need to be able to pick the kids up from day care. Piling both of them in the passenger seat won't work if I have some slut with me

ok, so the tally so far is all the guys at work, all the neighbors and local riding buddies: Cobra
Rhino: Mustang ergos suck
Bob: will not suggest a Ford, so neither...
MFDB: LS2>everything
Brit: "Cobra all the way, if you like the noise stay with the eaton blower if you want more power swap on a whipple and hold the fuck on!!!"

Sorry to hear about the divorce, you didn't say this needed to double as your pimp mobile, there is no way in hell I would buy that GTO if I was single....I thought you had the vag covered. If it's between those 2 it has to be the Cobra. I'm with Bob take a full upgrade and pick the kids up in the truck.

Na, I dont need a car to help with that
I sold a pile of cars through my marrage and looking to have a fun car again. If I needed help with the ladies id probably just spend the money on a watch and go to any one of the nightclubs here in vegas flashing it.

Cobra. GTO's are sleepers, but they look like a god damn plain-jane sedan.
