Well it seems that there is a lack of Trans ams around with the LS1 in them. So I tried for about a year to get one with no luck. Last saturday I gave into the dark side and bought a 2004 cobra.

I would have to say that the cobra does have some nice power if I can ever get it to hook up!!!!!!

Well maybe I will see some of you guys around vancouver.

Congrats!
But...
97.5 FOR 87 HURTS at the pump!
Good luck, hope gas prices come on down!
Then u could give me a ride?

 

Congrats man. Sweet car. It took me a year to find my ride too. Not to many Ls1s out there.

 

Yah 97.5 hurts for regular...........but I can't use it

Premium only ............. $1.10 a liter hurts way more than 97.5

 

Wow man........good for you.

Wish I was "forced" to get a Cobra.

I'm holding out for the F5 Z28.

 

I was "forced" to get a Camaro. lol, kinda.. Corvettes have been my dream car since I was like 9. Would have been nice to have my first real car my dream car.. I researched 80's Corvettes but found out they were very underpowered and had a crappy transmission, so I moved on to looking at early 90s with the L98. I was looking at the 1991 and up body style, with my limit on money around $10k. Found a few 6-speeds with pretty low miles, but everyone wanted too much. After I gave up on the Corvettes, I still wanted muscle, or some nice import. Don't hate me, but I like some of them, but I love muscle. So I was looking around for Camaros, Trans Ams, 3000GT VR4s, 300ZX TT, M3s, or a MkIV Supra. Okay, the Supras are really hard to find and are way overpriced. Only found a few M3s, overpriced again. 3000GT VR4s couldn't be found for a good price without 150k+ miles, and same for the Z. So it was down to the F-bodies, but some kid at my school just got a Trans Am WS6 that his parents bought him, ****. So it was Camaro for me.. Only took a few months to find one for what I think was a pretty good deal, low miles, 6-speed, very good condition all around. I'm pretty glad I got this car instead of the others though, especially the Corvettes, which are just too expensive, and I will have to wait until I grow up a little for that.

 

I own a Camaro because I can't afford the Corvette that I want.

This is likely a common thing among Fbody owners.

 

No one put a gun to your head forcing you to buy a cobra. I'm sure if you waited til the summer some sweet deals would have poped up. Perhaps after a few months with the cobra you'd wish someone does put a gun to your head... j/k

 

theres a TA drop top for sale in hope at gardner GM. you just gotta look around there out there.

That quote is music to my ears, congrats on your new Cobra purchase.

 

You cant go wrong with a 04 cobra !!


And its only going to get worse up here muhahahaa !!

 

I didn't want a drop top LS1, I wanted one with T-tops and in black or silver. In the end I was way to picky for what was out there.

Also, I was leaning more and more to a new car since I didn't want to deal with other peoples abuse.

Also, there are still some people asking for more for a F-body than I paided for the cobra.

The final kicker was that the stock cobra is a bit faster than the last stock F-bodies, given the same driver. And the cobra seems to take mods fairly well.

It would have been nice if GM was still producing a pony car, then at least I would have had a choice.

So far I do enjoy the car, but I do know I am going to have to mod it a bit..........but I don't want to ruin my warranty
The way it is right now, most of you can take it on the track
