Guys, since I've got the slobalt, I've been noticing that my terminator leaves me unsatisfied in two areas. The cobalt completely out does the cobra in steering/handling composure and refinement/fit finish/interior. With that said, I have been considering a few options, partially inspired by George.
1. Keep the terminator, without performing many mods other than upkeep mods. I hate how everytime I mod something, something else breaks or needs to be upgraded as a result. In a few years I could see putting a Whipple on, but not for a while.
2. Sell the cobra, and buy one of 3 cars next year. I'm thinking GT500, GTS Viper, and C6 in that order. All 3 cars would cost in the ballpark of $40K. All 3 cars would have the handling and interior I should be satisfied in, with maybe the exception of the Viper. I'm not sure how rattle free the viper is. All 3 cars would be modded, but might not have as much modding potential as the terminator. All 3 cars would be open tracked regularly and driven to milan. I like shelby for the modability and gorgeous looks. I like the viper for the looks, and the chassis being able to plant all that power on street tires. And I like the vette because it's lightweight and I could probably swap Z06 parts to it without too much trouble, although it's probably the ugliest of the 3.
So what are your thoughts? The cobra is totally paid off, and I could use the money right now for a down payment on a house. I feel that if I put all my savings into a house, I would still be comfortable financing a 40K car in a year and having funds left over for some mods.
