04 Mystichrome Cobra or 06 Z06?!

Opinions? Thoughts? [burnout]

Posted by Rigo5.0 (Member # 5247) on :

I wouldn't let go of an 04 Mystic Cobra. However, C6 Z06 is a baaad boy!

Why not do both?? [Wink]

Trust me, if I could, I would bro lol.

From the looks of you sig, you've already owned a mystic cobra. I say experience something new. I really don't think you can be disappointed by the C6z06.

I currently own a 04 Mystichrome. Im stuck in between whether to sell it for a z06, something new, or to keep it. Ive been in an new edge mustang for about 6 years now lol.

If you really want it then go for it. You've had the Cobra awhile but life is about enjoying new experiences and being happy with what you have until that feeling is no longer there. Go with what feels good!

Posted by AL STOCK (Member # 1852) on :

C6 Z06 all the way.

505hp - 470rwhp stock, bolt-ons, tune = 515whp easy = mid 10s all day [worship]

i say pull the trigger. let it sit and wait to get it for market value. worst case scenario, you dont like the z06 but you can always buy another mystic cobra. thats doubtful thoughlol.

Posted by SydeWaySix (Member # 3596) on :

If you don't need the rear seats and have intentions of hitting the track (road course), I say go for the z06. I'm not a huge corvette fan, but I would rather have a z06 than a termi, regardless if its a mystic or not.

Posted by adower (Member # 5955) on :

You're trying to compare a 70k car to a 40k car. There's nothing the terminator can do better than the z06 besides price of mods.

Shoot just have someone take you for a ride in a z06. You can make up your mind from there.

I see many corvettes every day, rarely ever see Mystic Termis.

Posted by East Bay 50 (Member # 8081) on :

I'd take the z06 over the cobra any day of the week

Posted by 135.0 (Member # 4992) on :

Cobras used to be cool but so was Mac Dre.

Posted by SWOLBRA (Member # 10274) on :

Thanks for the input fellas, really surprised to not see any bias opinions (I hope lol). Still wrapping my mind about it.

FYI - Cobra is kb with bolt ons with 51k mi and the Z06 is bone stock with 91k mi..

Posted by Martinna (Member # 12493) on :

NEIGHT has the right idea. The Z06 looks like a regular Corvette you see every day. The Cobra is exotic and stands out. The Corvette has the technical advantage. The Cobra has soul and distinction.

Posted by SydeWaySix (Member # 3596) on :

91k miles on an 06 z06 is pretty high in my opinion. Is it/was it a daily driver? If you go down this road I hope you're getting it for a great price!

It is high which has me thinking. And I hope the price is alright. It's at high 20s

You can tell a lot by talking to the owner's of these two cars. Let them do all the talking and you can find out which one was more abused than the other.

The Z has high miles but if the owner drove it a lot to work and long distance drives, the miles are not abused ones. Find out if he had the head work done and upgraded. Plus, find out how many owners each car had because you don't want a "tossed" around vehicle to inherit all the problems.

The more you can talk to these two individuals about the car's, the better!

Tough choice honestly, pros and cons to both but I hope it works out. Remember this...there is nothing that sounds better than a finely tuned mustang. I get more compliments about the sound than anything else [burnout]

i really dont think the c6z06 looks like a regular vette. it has just as much distinction from base vette as that of a 03 cobra to a base v6 mustang. thats like saying the cobra looks like a regular mustang. the hood/front bumper/wing etc are all different. its all a matter of personal opinion though. i love my 03 cobra but the z6z06 is just as bad ass.

Hey don't get mad at me, I was told Mac Dre was played out by the Top Ramen guy who ended up selling his Mustang project for a black C5 vette.

I'm just an old guy who listens to 90s rap and shit.

You live under a rock? I just seen two C7 Z06's yesterday alone. One yellow one red. And as for that mileage and price for a vette compared to a low mileage rare mystic I don't know what to tell you because the thought would've never crossed my mind. Someone enter the Russell Westbrook gif.

Posted by SydeWaySix (Member # 3596) on :

With that many miles, you will have almost twice as many miles as your cobra! In my opinion, either keep searching for a lower mileage Z06 or keep the cobra.

Yes, the Z06 is likely a better car, but for that price (high $20s), it would be hard for me to make the jump with the assumption that the previous owner "had his fun" already. At this point, I'm sure you will have to start replacing parts since there will be an 'unknown' regarding its maintenance history. At least with the cobra, assuming you maintained it yourself, you can feel comfortable driving and beating on it.

I've seen more Porsches and ferraris than c7 z06s. There is a law office down the street from my job and there is always high end cars coming in and out of there.

I don't think many corvette people liked the c7 z06.

If he wanted the best overall car in that price range, the GTR is where its at.

I agree. I just can't get myself to really like the way the gtr looks.

Posted by Robb (Member # 9444) on :

C6Z06. Easy choice. Would be a bit hesitant on getting one with 91k miles though. Corvette tax is a real thing on replacement parts/mods.

Say no to the GTR, it gets boring real quick. The interior feels like as if you are sitting behind a huge rock.

Don't get a C6z06 with more than 45k miles used. Value isn't there after they hit 50k+

I would hold on to the cobra....look for a salvage title vet.

Posted by Black 02 SS (Member # 5939) on :

C6Z06 - lighter, more power (stock for stock), more track capable, interior is a BIT updated over a new edge (albeit, still Fisher Price). Like others have said, be aware of the "Vette Tax" - Replacing the 18/19" tires (325? rear section), clutch jobs require dropping the rear cradle, and factor in a head job on the LS7 since the valves aren't what they should be (unless already addressed).
