Raptor. Going fast on asphalt is fun, but going fast on dirt is more fun.

Cobra kuz I wouldn't own a truck unless I need to do some haulin. [patriot]

Posted by BULLITTMAN (Member # 8468) on :

I'd get the cobra because I'm not into 4 wheeling and I would get tired of driving a truck. Plus everybody and their mother would want me to help them move if I had the Raptor...LOL

Cobra

Posted by hilltim54 (Member # 10655) on :

If I didnt have a truck and had a stang, I wud pick up a raptor.. And vise versa if I had a truck already I wud get a cobra.. But thats me.. I have to have a truck.. I have a kid, 3dogs, and I live in the country.. And i lovee the outdoors, camping, fishing, hunting, going wheelin'.. Cant do all that in a stang..

Posted by Boss 327 (Member # 9143) on :

Raptor. I already have 3 mustangs.

Posted by iceman302 (Member # 7180) on :

I'm a little biased. There's just so much more that you can do and enjoy with a Raptor.

Posted by 89bluenotch (Member # 7454) on :

Raptor vote!

Posted by iceman302 (Member # 7180) on :

The top picture is Pismo and the bottom one is out near Colfax. There aren't a lot of places in the foothills nearby where the Raptor will fit without damage.

^^^^^ this!

Posted by fstryde3 (Member # 8436) on :

I'd go Raptor but that's because I have a Cobra and I want another truck.

Posted by Not_so_Stealth (Member # 7849) on :

Don't get me wrong I've always really liked 03-04 cobras, but a Raptor all day! I already have a couple of mustangs. I can go crazy with the LX which I've owned for 21yrs and isn't going anywhere. Thinking of pulling the blower off my lightning and toning it down because I don't really need a fast truck. A 4wd truck would be more useful for camping/dirt trips anyway for me. Someday I'll add a Raptor to the stable.

Is that bottom picture the yankee jims swim spot? Cool ass place to jump off some rocks into crystal clear water. Last time I was there I stepped on a sharp rock and had blood literally squirting outta my foot, lmao good times. I had to drive my 5 spd fox all the way back to my house in forest hill.

That's exactly where that is. The bridge is sketchy. Does anyone see the problem with that picture?

Posted by SIC70STANG (Member # 4347) on :

Lets see that bullitt do this

Posted by SwEeT 03 Gt (Member # 10283) on :

they both serve a different purpose (sp)

cobra- go alot faster, pullie swap, tune n gears. can be use to pick up chicks, limited space cant fit n move stuff...

raptor- 4 wheeling, hauling moving stuff, go faster then most trucks n jump more then mosts trucks and WARRENTY!!! if you can get it with the cobra then i'd go cobra

Posted by 04 S281 (Member # 9229) on :

buy whichever one will make you happy.

i dunno about you, but i'm not into the 4-wheeling and jumping stuff... if i was, i'd say Raptor... but i like low loud sporty cars that can take a corner... because of that, i'd go Cobra over Raptor 11 times out of 10.

and absolutely DON'T buy a car because you think it'll pick up chicks... besides there are girls who are in to trucks too... so...

Posted by 9cobrasnake9 (Member # 575) on :

I am lucky enough to own both. Not an 03 cobra, but a cobra none the less. I have had several mustangs, a 300 hp svt focus, and a few ford trucks. By far the best vehicle I have ever owned is my Raptor. It gets more attention than any car I have ever driven, can take me places normal cars cant go while traveling at insane speeds, and is still a great daily driver, tows awesome, is super comfortable, and even has doppler radar connected to the nav. There is no comparison!!

I too have jumped off that same bridge. I went to Colfax and that was the road you could take from Colfax to forest hill. Whats wrong with the pic? The Raptor exceeds the weight limit. At least mine does..Last weigh in was 6325 pounds with half a tank of gas and no passenger!

It's not a Cobra but it is low, loud, sporty, and it handles alright. [Big Grin]

Yep. That bridge was making all kinds of unsettling noises.

I used to find it amusing here comparing mustangs to corvettes..two entirely different types of cars..and now were at 'special edition mustangs' vrs snazzy 4x4s. Funny stuff. [patriot]

Because 10 idiots wrecked their trucks by crashing them over an 18" kicker at freeway speeds, suddenly there's an issue with all Raptors? Do your research before you spout garbage. The only issue with those trucks were the guys behind the wheel that thought they were driving trophy trucks. And guess what? You can damage a trophy truck if you overdrive it for the terrain and conditions too.

You think that bridge is scary, try hitting ponderora bridge our by Weimar. They literally have boards missing in random places, i never even tried it in my wheeler, just parked on that side and then turned around there...

I would've done the same.

I know there's a margin of safety engineered into the limits they place on a bridge like that but it makes you wonder how often that POS is inspected.

Whoa, where did I say that all of the trucks were garbage? I would totally mob a Raptor. But you just pointed out what was wrong with them - some people buy them and drive them thinking you can smash around in the desert like a trophy truck.
