I'm sure the world of car enthusiest agrees with your statement.
Ok first of all let me RE-clarify a few things. Like I said previously, I have been a mustang owner all of my life and it has always been v8 5.0's. The reason I switched and got a camaro was for the reliability and because I do a lot of traveling now and needed something good on gas mileage. I have respect for any domestic muscle car whether it be made by Ford, GM etc.. I am not completely clueless when it comes to these things if you read my previous replies I did all of the right things with the right parts when I first got the car, but looking under the hood of this car is much different than looking under the hood of my cobra. And just to clarify things a little yes I am a woman and no I am not that completely clueless but I want to learn as much as I can there is no such thing as knowing too much. I apologize if I offended anyone in any way but I don't believe that I did nor do I believe that I deserved those two replies I got!!

Ok here is the story about why I got rid of my cobra for a v6:
When I bought my 95 cobra I was kinda stupid and didn't have it checked out by a mechanic before purchasing from an independant dealer. My ex and I were so excited to find a rio red 95 cobra with a black leather interior we didn't care. Come to find out it needed the motor rebuilt b/c it was previously a track car and used to be blown with a vortech and basically it was run the **** out of. So at 62k, I let my ex pull the motor and rebuild it. I also did a lot of body and paint work to it as well as some performance mods and about 12k later, thought it was all done. Well, as it turned out, my ex is no mechanic!!! He messed it up so bad that the car would break down twice a week on my. The dumbass even put the thermostat in backwards and even I knew how to do that correctly. It got to the point where I just could not afford to keep putting money into it to fix it and to this day the poor car still does not have half the power it used to before my ex got to it. I loved that car it was my baby but I just couldnt keep spending my entire paycheck fixing it. I still have my SVT certificate and everything b/c I miss the car so much but I am quite happy with my new little v6 and can't wait to make this one fast. I will buy another cobra again some day, but this time I will choose my mechanics a little wiser!

There have been people (on these boards) who have gone from a v8 to a v6 camaro before. This isn't the first time.
Besides it was a '95 cobra, I always get suspicious when I see the price tag lower than most V6's. I passed up a couple of '95 snakes
Welcome.

Some guys on here are a bit opinionated so you should overlook them
At least you chose an F-body for your next car... long as you keep fluids changed and with some common sense you car will last a long long time. I bought mine early '00 with low mileage, used it as a daily driver to work and back and here it is with 92K miles already and its running even better than the day I bought it with just a few basic mod's.
Thumbs up on getting the Mystic Teal color scheme ;d as you can tell from my sig... I dig that color hah
