According to your specs, WRX fits it quite nicely.

... Get some internal work done, move on to 16lbs of boost.

The best stock Z06 time I know of is 11.6 out of the showroom. The Mustang Cobra isn't nearly in the same league.

Otherwise... Coming from a 2000 Mustang GT, I think you'd be better off with a used STS or ETC. They're got tons of power and are very impressive automobiles.. You would not be sorry...

Oh, I forgot another requirement: Has to be available with a manual transmission.

Here are the numbers from the May 2003 issue of Motor Trend:

2003 Corvette convertible:
Max HP: 350@5600rpm
Max Torque: 375@4400rpm
0-60mph,sec : 4.72
1/4 mile,sec : 13.02@109.59mph
Price as tested:$56,265

2003 Mustang Cobra convertible:
Max HP: 390@6000rpm
Max Torque: 390@3500rpm
0-60mph,sec : 4.86

As I said, pretty freakin close. Well, except for the price.

If my info from the magazine is correct the Cobra would win?? This is what I mean by not knowing what to believe.

The Ford is almost $20,000 less.........And worth it!

By that smile KC, are you serious about a F*** being a formidable competitor to the Vette?? I don't believe it dude! So far you have been very anti-F***?

cobra doesn't win. That number above is a regular vette not z06 times. Competition between z06 and cobra can only be compared in drag strips and even then z06 wins.
