This is probably the most important decision of my life. Do I get a '96 Mustang Cobra svt or '96 z28? It's so hard to choose. They're priced about the same, the engine specs are almost identical. what do u guys think? which one has the potential to be more powerful?

I think the Cobra is a better all around car. When it comes to power, the 5.7L in the Camaro is hard to beat but the Cobra makes up for it with better handling due to a more sophisticated rear suspension. The Camaro has a 6-speed vs. the Cobra's 5-speed so it's likely faster in a straight line but not enough to make up for the overall refinement of the Cobra.

Stang.

go with the stang, much better car imho. it will drive a lot better than a camaro and you will get a lot more looks in a cobra that just a z28.

Someone was in the process of buying the z28 thie morning when I dropped by to gawk at the cars. I bothered the wife all day and I guess she finally caved and said I can get the stang. Yay.

Sweet nice choice, if you decide to boost it or anything other wise my uncle owns reichardracing.com and i do a lot of the grunt work, so hit me up for that. Oh yeah the cobra is a lot sexier than a z28.

yea i'd go with the svt anyday
