[QUOTE="kirks5oh, post: 5446368, member: 23235"] i'll chime in, as i have both cars in question. the GTO does not feel as fast as my cobra did when it was bone stock (it's got a twin screw blower right now). the GTO is much, much more comfortable, rides like a luxury car compared to the cobra, and just plain makes for a better daily driver. the clutch is SOOOOOOOOOOO nice compared to the cobra's, and the car lulls at around 2000rpms at 80mph, while the cobra is 300rpms more (it is a VERY noticeable difference). the GTO seats are a lot more comfortable, the interior looks great, and you will not find more comfortable rear seats in a sports car. my GTO is stock for now, and like i said, is the PERFECT daily driver. the cobra, on the other hand, drives a bit more "rougher" than the GTO. the car feels lighter, and more responsive when it comes to steering and overall acceleration--especially when passing cars in 6th gear on the freeway. the suspension is more firm in the cobra. the clutch is pretty hard to depress (50lbs of foot pressure), and will kill you in heavy traffic. the interior of the cobra is still very nice, but not as nice as the GTO. the cobra seats are great for locking you positively in place during cornering, etc., but will leave you with an aching ass, unless you're skinny, because the side bolsters are very firm, compared to the GTO. this is especially apparent on longer drives. and as you expect, the cobra is much, much more easy to mod, responds to mods better (pulley, intake, catback=450rwhp for $1200), while an exhaust system will set you back $800-900 for the GTO. it IS a tough decision for sure. but i would say go for the cobra as long as you have another daily driver (it can be a cheapo, as long as its comfortable). if the cobra is going to be your daily driver, it will not be as worthwhile unless you need to drive to work VERY fast, and race people on the way to work all the time. i used to drive my cobra to work on very nice days, every once in a while, but not any more. i LOVE driving the GTO to work now. but when i want to go out for a spirited drive, and do a couple blasts down freeway entrance ramps, nothing, i mean nothing compares to a twin screw cobra.
