Fact is if I was for all out power I’d stick with the cobra. But I’m more of a handling guy then drag guy. I would definitly get a c6 if it was in the budget. Unfortuanelty it is not. So anyone here with a zo6 that wants to take me for a spin? :burnout: ---

since most of the people in here haven’t driven both… their opinion means nothing. I have a couple miles in the Z and a couple thousand in the Cobra. The money you’ll save on insurance and initial purchase favors the Cobra. The resale “should” favor the vette. :gotme: Dollar for dollar… spanking a Z06 with 3 of your buddys in the car is priceless. ---

I like the people think they can say “you’ll be faster with a modded cobra”. You can be as fast as you want in either car if you are modifying it. ---

I bought the Cobra that I have over a Vette because I wanted a back seat. My vote is obviously for the Cobra but you can’t go wrong with either one. I also like the fact that I see at most 1 other Cobra a day in Vegas but I see about 43,000 Vettes. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/03-04-cobra-vs-02-zo6/50867.md?page=2)
