Good day Gents....

[Z06/SVT]

New to the forum.. ( Cobra's). However, have a friend who owns a shop here in TX that is very well versed on them. I am considering trading my 2001 Corvette Z06 for an 03-04 Terminator Cobra. My Vette is nicely and tastefully built. I am a 47 y/o man who loves cars amd consider them as an investment. My Z06 will not disappoint!

From my research and talking to my "Cobra" friend.. these cars are forged and can be built to be screamers... for not alot of $$$... He has told me, these are not Drag strip cars but real nice hwy toys... ( although some drag race i am sure). I do NOT!

Perhaps some of you Cobra veterans can school me up on these Sweet looking cars. I am in NO hurry to get rid of my Z06... As i am sure most of you guy's have invested alot of capital into your Cobra's..

Just consider me a fellow enthiusiast... Not trolling or attempting to pit one car against the other... Educate me... Thanks in advance.

Hello sir and welcome. Beautiful Z06 you have there! From someone that just bought one a month ago, and have done A LOT of research on them with many friends who have them, I will give my insight. I am a bit younger than you but nonetheless 32 with a house, wife, and kid. My wife and I had a 98 cobra convertible and a 97 cobra coupe that we sold to get our 03 silver convertible.

With that being said, we love the power these cars produce and also the street manners they present. If your not mashing the pedal which we rarely do if at all the car drives like a normal vehicle. These cars with stock suspension handle extremely well due to the independent rear suspension (although nothing will Compare to the Z06). With a simple smaller pulley, air intake, exhaust and a tuner, these cars jump about 80hp or more. There are endless possibilities with the motors and the way the car was designed. Last thing, to be honest, the last week or so while driving I can count about 20 Vettes that I have seen and I only have seen 1 terminator. I have had a few people compliment me at traffic lights and or stare at my car, and my car is almost stock besides the above mentioned upgrades.

So keep reading around the site, feel free to ask questions, you can PM me if you wanted to know anything specific. The only thing I will say is that since I was 17 I had owned about 30 or so mustangs and this one takes the cake by far. I waited a whIle to get her and I love it! :beer:

Beautiful Z06. With a ported blower, pulley and a tune you have a fun 500hp car that's a lot of fun.

Beautiful ZO6. I'd keep it and buy a Cobra if I were you

 

[CobraBob]

That's a really nice looking Vette you have there. Welcome to SVTPerformance, and hopefully you'll learn a lot more about the '03-'04 Cobra here. I recommend you browse through my Terminator FAQs. There is a lot of very good, useful info there. Here is the link. Terminator FAQs

Gorgeous zo6 you have there. Love the rear spoiler and the wheels. What's been done to it.

Clean ass Z!!!

 

[Scudboy]

Jeez Louise that's a nice looking Z06!!! My wife would kill for a Vette like that...I'm glad my car isn't paid off yet. It wouldn't be very hard to convince me to trade.

Beautiful car...GLWT!!!

What's the mileage? Anymore pics?

 

[germeezy1]

Looks like either the ACI or Carravagio front splitter, and rear spoiler and widebody rear fenders. My C5 looked very similar, and yours is even better looking because it's black!
