Default It was fun..

Well just want to say i have had the 05 C6 for about 3 months now. I have enjoyed the time i have had with it, but must say i am switching back to the 03/04 whippled cobra. I have had 3 cobras and i absolutly love those cars. I thought i would switch it up and try the vette for a while but turns out they are not for me. Well not yet anyway maybe one day i will get a Zo6. To each there own. Thanks guys its been fun...

Comparing a whippled Cobra to a stock C6......I could see why you would like the Cobra better. SC the C6 and you wouldn't look back.

Cobras are cool. I'd like to hear what you find lacking in the vette - and then tell you to through a supercharger on that

+1....I had a modded 03 Cobra that would kill my basically stock 07 Vette right now, but I plan on SC'n the Vette by next year.
The Vette is a much much more refined. The difference is night and day in almost every aspect...except in performance obviously. I miss my Cobra cause it was a great car that was very easy to mod and make fast as hell....but.....
I'm convinced that SC'd full exhaust C6 could run with if not beat a Whippled / KB'd high boost 03-04 Cobra.
