Yeah, I posted the same thing on stangnet.com Of coarse, they think the inverse of you guys.
Basically I am in love with the interior of the 350 but I love everything else about the Cobra. Throw on top of that: I would like this car by May. Although I can get either one around here for MSRP it's hard to settle on one now if waiting a few more months for a 2004 will be worth it. (if I even CAN wait
)

I am looking at the 30K range and I am still looking since I don't know what to get.
I looked a 2001 svt cobra 320 bhp and a GT. These are muscle cars and you know you are in a muscle car. And I don't know how much you like cars. From the moment you turn the key.
Corba = pure brute power (especially the new 2003)
350Z = finess
I heard that the Z is a ton over MSRP but I am starting to look I sort of got discouraged at the beginning. Will see what happends.
Cobra is a bad *** car especially if you can throw on some different 18's and maybe lower it a tad.

Well 2001 I could have got for 26K which left me room for 18's and maybe lowering of the car.
2003 is 34k + primium most likely 37.

HERE ARE THE FACTS!!. The cobra will do everything Faster than the Z, 1/4 mile, road race, maybe even handle better!! It is a really built stang, blown with a factort warranty, 6-speed, forged motor, mid 12's bone stock, viper eater with 2k worth of mods!! It is an animal and the independent suspension is great for handling!! Get the cobra you will not regret it!!

Actually.. Stangs and F bodies are pretty well known for being extremely reliable. You are being extremely biased...and its really sad. in this thread and the other thread, its pretty easy to see that you are very touchy about the faster vehilces....
Mustang GTs and Cobras actually hold their values quite nicely.. only the V6s lose values very quick because the market is flooded with millions of them ( Car rental agencies )
I think you should drive both, and see what you like more. If you are all about performance, the Cobra is obviously the better buy.. but the 350Z just does it for some people. The complete package is enough to make them forget about that extra horsepower and take advantage of the tight feel and great braking.. not to mention the 350Z is far from a slouch.

Cobra R assembly line? What exactly is the Cobra R assembly line>? Weird they would have a line for a car that isnt made anymore..
They shut down the SVT Assembly line to replace the intercoolers.. but they are already open again. That news is very old.... I've never read of any SVT Cobras having mechanical problems.. but Im sure you will make up some new "facts" and post them..
the 350Z isnt perfect. Just from this site Ive read that you guys are having problems with your BOSE audio, and your paint orange peeling. Quality, right there!!
You make up facts and you post them like they are written law. Its pathetic and just shows your ignorance. You fail to see ANY positive in buying the Mustang Cobra, which makes you just as bad as those people who call the 350Z rice..
the very same people you hate..

I am sorry, the SVT line! Yo are right, I am pathetic and ignorant. That is why I am going to other car boards trying to justify to myself that my car is better, oh wait, that's you. Have a nice day:

Anyway, I am very interested in the Z, and threads like this help give me the info I need to make up my mind since the dealers won't let you drive the Z. The bashing is immature and a put off to potential Z buyers. Please show car lovers respect, no matter what kind of car they choose. We're all enthusiasts, right?

Listen Vanilla Ice, you can keep "Rollin in your Five Point Oh." The 80's ended a long time ago, yet Ford forgot and just keeps building the same car for the same people.
