Get away from the 79-04 chassis and go into something redesigned and higher quality.

New 5.0, no brainer.

There not even in the same conversation really. The new 5.0 has more potential but is 30k plus, 03-04 cobras are running about half that. If this is more what can I qualify for financing for, then start a new thread and we can give you more life advice.

Although, 03/04 cobras are at an all time low and a good time to pick one up. If i could find a decent 100% stock one in the upcoming months, ill probably buy it.

LOL this is true.

I can get any of these vehicles beyond 1993 and up but don't feel the need to be in a big ass tank. I really want to get a coyote in a fox....maybe the cobra.

What happened to your so called "Monster build" that I will never touch???? You'd have to mod those to be fast. With the cost of those cars and mods why not buy a used C6Z06?

2012 5.0. everything is basically better. But like everyone said, realistically, you'd have to worry about spending twice as much. No brainer the new 5.0 if someone was just to give u either one.
