it sounds funny, but that's the truth, what do you want, a fast car, or a quick truck?
The truck makes the nicer DD imo, but I've always owned a truck and couldn't live without.

get a harley truck!!! 4 doors and almost the same engine as the lightning . I was thinking about a lighting too but with a pulley swap you'll be as fast as a lightning ... Plus it seats four and you get an all black int.

they're fast with a few mods, I threw a boost gauge on mine finally and it's hitting 13lbs (stock was 6psi, lightnings stock are 8psi).
no wonder I'm able to walk on most anything on the freeway with my 4600lb truck ![[dance]](graemlins/dance.gif)
if comfort means anything to you, the `02/`03 HD f150 is hard to beat...

Lighting, but make sure you get an '02 and up if you plan on modding it. Trucks that blow doors on 75% of street cars always will have a special place in my heart.

I've had my 04 Lightning for a couple weeks now and even though it may be a little scary in the rain, its a damn usefull vehicle other than being quick. Its not as quick as the Cobra but you cant put a xmas tree in the trunk. It feels like a sleeper, I dont have a bunch of kids trying to race me to each light. But if I want to light em up there's nothing stopping me from doing it. It does suck up gas like a mofo though. 67 dollars of premium a week ![[Frown]](frown.gif) Not sure about the MPG on the Cobra, but its gotta be better. If your in the market for either vehicle, you really cant go wrong with either.

I have owned both (an 02 lightning and an 03 cobra) and I would safely say the 03/04 cobra. The cobras are more fun to drive, and obviously very nice power, without too much weight. In a perfect world I would have both at the same time
