There's a WS6 that parks in front of my apt building all the time. I love how they look from the outside. But I hate sitting inside an F-body.

Even Riddla would have a hard time sitting in a F-body, you know... with his massive johnson in the way and all.

Thats pretty much how I feel. Awesome cars and a great platform, but you either love or hate their driving position.

Depends on what you want.

I owned an 02 WS6 M6. Loved that car. But the Cobra's a better car all around.

I love the power, looks and capabilities of the LS1/WS6 platform, but as stated they absolutely suck to sit in. I have spent a lot of time behind of the wheel of several.

Cobra has great potential, looks just as sinister, and is much nicer to sit in and drive



Cobra!

I agree, sit in a ws6 and compare. When I was shopping I checked out the ws6 and a 2001 cobra. The cobra wins. The ws6 visibility was horrible as was the seating position.

Like stated above, the WS-6 has great potential and looks great IMO but the seating position is horrible.

I have a friend who's had these cars in this particular order; '98 Z28, '00 GT, '03 Mach1, '01 Z28 and currently an '02 Z06 to go along with the '01 Camaro. He said he likes the seating position better on the camaros then the mustang. I told him he was crazy, guess it just depends on the person.

Did you post this same question over at LS1tech? I'm sure you'll get biased answers here seeing as how this is an SVT forum. That being said, I vote Cobra.

You're asking this question on a SVT site. What do you think the replies will be? LOL... Ok, now on to my opinion. COBRA all the way! I love the way WS6's & SS's look, but it took me about a year (literally) to get used to the interior. The big dash and small view was hard for me to get used to. The interior is about the same with a slight edge going to the Cobra because of the suede insert seats, but shifter position would definitely go to the F-body. I also like the hydraulic clutch in the F-body more because it's not nearly as stiff as the 03/04 Cobra's. The Cobra is more mod friendly which is a huge + for me. As for the looks... Cobra's look BAD ASS from all angles! Drop it, put some nice wheels, & fat tires on the rear and it's one of the meanest looking cars out there. COBRA all the way
