03 Cobra or 05 Vette?

[EgHatch92]

My bro is undecided on which to get. He found a 565rwhp 564trq 03 Mustang Cobra with some sexy ass wide tires and upgraded supercharger and more for $18k. Also found a 05 Corvette stock base model which I believe come with around 400hp for I believe $20k. Insurance difference for the both vehicles is only a $30 difference. Just undecided because the Corvette would handle better than the Cobra but the Cobra is pushing 165+ more whp and 200+ trq. What do you guys think would be best choice? Thanks ahead of time and bump if viewed please. Opinions welcomed.

The cobra will be harder to control. RWD experience will be needed with either one

He's been daily driving a lil 96 mustang for a while now. They will both be lil difficult but what you think is a better daily driver? Think about rear seat space or cargo space as well since the vette has no rear seats but the cobra does. Also handling on both

as a daily and taking rear seats and cargo space into cosideration i would go with the cobra but if he can deal with having no rear seats and less cargo space, overall, i would go with the stock vette for the simple fact that i think its a better made vehicle ( i have never been a fan of ford especially anything they produced between 1980-2007) and more potential for mods down the road on the vette if thats what he wants to do.

^^ not entirely true. He didnt say it was a z06 vette its a c6. More performance mods for the cobra hands down. The cobra in that year came with independant rear And with that much power that thing is gona be a beast. Very easy to loose control. Just google cobra loosing control. But the vette is all fiber glass and at high speeds + power shifts they loose control. Youtube that. The main thing with these kind of cars is people smashing them.

Upgrades on the vette must be more of an arm and a leg tho right? I mean the Cobra is faste. Only downfall I think is that Mustangs have had the same shitty interior for like 10 years until 04 I believe. The corvette has better interior and gps. Also better handling I believe.

03 mustang comes stock with manly tuff rods. you can push 700+ with out even takin the valve covers off. upgrade supercharger and injectors etc. but the vette will obviously hold its value better

all im sayin is that the corvette, even a base model, is a world class sports car. mustangs are mustangs even if they are a cobra theyre a dime a dozen. everybodys got em

There is a world of a difference betweeb a mustang and a cobra. 03-04 cobras have low production numbers. The vettes were made by the thousands.. Any color automatic even! Its an anerican car if your looking for soft fancy interior buy german.!

Sounds like a lot of mixed feelings about the both.

I personal have an 08 shelby gt500 so im going to say the cobra. If it doesnt have any issues and does have the vavle tick. And those mods are done right.
