I had the EFI installed (replaced a holley 850) due to: LOOK damm too expensive, but what the heck... I like knowing it looks fantastic out there, and when I pop the hood... wow

I have the Steeda tri shifter - it fits right into my hand.

I also have the NRG thin quick release hub for steering wheel (theft protection - and quick change between the monolita wood and the fat suede )

I have extra oil cooler and dual fans in the front for the look... I could go on, but point is - find one you like NOW.... upgrade it, or sell it and build your dream car next year

I gave 40 for the car and 15 in personal upgrades

You can ask / read for years (like I did ) but truth is... untill you have been riding one for some time you don't know what you really want.

Find a "cheap" one you like, and sell it next year with minimum loss - by then you will know if the snake got you or you're better off in a z06.
This is the path I'm going to take. I'm looking for a color combo that I can live with it is just important to me to find a car that has been taken care of and is very clean. Like you mentioned if the Cobra turns out to not be what you want you can sell it and if you like it you have a car to keep and build upon. Don't even get me started on the Z06 is have to talk myself out of going and and buying one every week!
