True except both cars get about the same gas mileage it will come down too your foot...... and the Cobra is actually cheaper too maintain in the long run.

and don't forget that theres nothing that sounds better than an american V8

Oh god i started a post similar to this everybody started hatin on each other until i closed it.. please not again here are the fact
Top Speed: CObra
Corners: STI
Ride Comfort:Cobra
All Season: STI
REliability: STI
Cheap cost for mods: Cobra
Gas economy: Both horrible.. i have a 2.0 litre Wrx and when i abuse it i can waste a whole tank in about 250 km (175miles aprx)

a good buddy of mine is puzzled by the same question

Test drive them both. The cobra is going to go REALLY fast with some minor work and last. STI just does not have the pull that gets my heart pumping, even at 400hp. Like I said if you are really looking test drive them both, they feel the same way with more power (just better). :thumb:

hmm not sure if i agree my Wrx gets my heart pownding really fast and its a 2.0 litre.. can't imagine the sti must me amazing.. and remember roads are not always straight might pose a problem if you get the cobra

[Hypercomp01]

Remember you can make a cobra handle REALLY good. There are many cobras that are not drag cars but road race cars. I think both would be a good choice (I ve owend a 04 cobra and 03 Mustang GT and test drove some WRX's). I just dont like a four door sports cars and I love the way a V8 sounds and pulls. plus here in New Mexico we dont get much (any at all) snow. If it does snow, I cant (Ive tried!) drive the mustangs. They will just not drive in snow or bad rain. But I assume a modified WRX 4wheel dive wont be as controlable in snow as a stock 4 wheel drive. Whichever one you pick good lick. :thumpup:

You can get about 650-700 RWHP on the cobra for WELL under $10k too.

thanks for all your suggestions they really help!! but i dont know i love the sound of a roaring american V8 especially a cobra the sound of the supercharger is mean!! i was leaning towards more of the cobra and just adding on all the basic bolt-ons with a 2.8 pully for now and then maybe as i get use to the power maybe a KB blower or a ported one dont know going to have to wait and find out

I don't suggest doing a "pulley" on a mostly stock cobra. I've heard of BAD things happening. Save up for a Kenne Bell.

I have a friend with a wrx and he runs 12.7s with a intake/exhaust/and a bov...

If you want to win from a dig... get a STI
Want to win from a roll (topend) Cobra....

I like the Cobra in my own opinion... Kenne Bell it!

[G2TEG]

i say cobra, it's hard to get the EJ motors up into the high hp numbers, the cobra would be better all around!
