That should be easy, a car probably twice as fast and reliable for 8 grand less?

Of course if you want the 'dyno queen' the cobra will suit you just fine.

THe cam is a minor issue, they are both force induction. I would go with the T/A but it depends on a lot of things. What clutch is in the T/A rear end, fuel system, psi boost, built motor ect. I think the T/A is a good deal and the 8 grand difference could go toward building up the weak areas of the T/A if there are some..

T/A no question. itll be a lot faster and has much better looks. not to mention the price difference, but even if they were same price t/a for sure.

Shet, I'm the biggest Cobra lover on here and was going to actually say Cobra but you would be crazy to pass up that T/A for anything really, other than a C6Z for $22K

Look at my sig for my experience with Cobras
