Re: Cobra Or Ws6

For me, easy choice.

The Cobra handles better. WS6s are ugly. Plus, I made 441 rwhp on pump gas with a crappy tune (expecting 460+ with a little tuning) and only 4 mods (catback, CAI, midpipe, pulley), still get 20+ mpg, and could drive all the way to California and back without being worried AT ALL about the car overheating, breaking down, etc.

Re: Cobra Or Ws6

what kind of price difference is there?
If no difference then I would say the Cobra hands down

Re: Cobra Or Ws6

We looked at the ws6 before our purchase. I loved the car until I drove it. You can't see the front of the car from the driver seat nor see anything at all out the back of the car. Your **s sits on the ground and the front always seemed to drag. The power was good!!! Now the cobra is the best all around. All the power you want easy to drive and a good smooth ride, plus its a convertable the choice is easy.

Re: Cobra Or Ws6

Ok, I'll be the odd ball here.. WS6 for me... I've had one for 7 years and even though Dad has my old 2000 now I still get to see it. The ONE thing about Mustangs I do love over a WS6 is you can get them to sound 10x better. That's the only comparison I can do since I've never driven a Mustang let alone sat in one.

You need to schedule a test drive real soon.
