Although that saleen is BADASS in BAB, Cobra all the way. 11K? Sonic Blue? Enough said.

I'd sell the cobra. 1 of 5 and a sweet color on that Saleen would make me keep it. 4 valve swap with a kb on it!

I hate to say it but definitely the Cobra.... Both beautiful cars and colors!

Saleens are beautiful cars (although the Cobras aren't bad looking either). Financially, you would be in the same or better shape keeping both as opposed to selling the Cobra and modding the Saleen. Based on that rationale if you had to get rid of one, I would vote to sell the Saleen.

Never owned a Saleen, but, I do own a SB Cobra.....Cobra FTW.
I can't imagine the Saleen could be more fun to drive than a factory supercharged car.
Both beautiful cars, you are a lucky man to have a delima such as this, good luck, can't really go wrong on this one, unless you sell the Cobra!

Well I guess you can figure out which one I would keep. But if going high HP is your goal then keep the cobra. It does get expensive making the Saleen go big HP. But...BAB! That color is my fav of all time. How much you looking to get for it? I'm sorta in the market for #2.

I'm a big Saleen fan (mostly due to their truly original cars SA-10, S-351, etc), but this is a tough one.

Bright Atlantic Blue is my favorite SN95/New Edge color. I have only saw one 98 Saleen (RIP Hap) with that before, and I still lust after it today. I am also a big fan of Saleen's styling on the SN95/New Edge cars.

Having said that, I think I'd sell the Saleen & keep the Cobra. Sonic Blue is also one of my top 3 New Edge colors. You'll get a load of cash from the Saleen that you can pay on the Cobra debt. Mechanically, the Cobra is superior in every way. Forged 32V engine, 6-speed, IRS, better brakes (unless your Saleen has the optional big brake kit), and nicer interior (unless your Saleen has the optional Recaros). But, man, that low mileage on the Cobra just puts it over the top.
