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.

Trans Am all the way. Easier to work on. Already has a cam in it. Cobra you would have to buy 4 cams....Lots of $$$$$$$ right there

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.

That TA is a STEAL.
And I am a huge 4V fan.
I'm not a fan of buying built cars because who knows what they have been through,
but for that price who the hell cares.

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
