Making them both fun and good for equaling out when you get into it. I like the fact that the TA in 6th will get 34mpg highway. Where the GT has a hard time getting 24mpg.

By far the Cobra is a superior car. But that should be said about the evolution of any sports car 15 years later. Show the stats of a 98 Cobra and a 98 WS6 and they are not even in the same ballpark. I love the cobra, but the F-body TA still does not look dated, which says a lot for the design.

All in all, like Sam said, fun per dollar he has you beat. Raw power, you have, but at a price. I could take s '95 Chevy Caviler and build it to more power than the GT500 for 1/2 the cost. Problem is, its still a Caviler. You have a nice GT, in hands down the best color. What I am getting at, is to each his own. I want to take my next 70's TA build and drop in the brand new DI LT1. Not too many people have my goal, but that is what makes it fun.
