99 Cobra, 01 Formula, or 01 Z28?

Diddy · 06-29-2001, 11:06 AM

My dad and I are looking to buy a new sports car. We are trying to keep the price below $25,000. We cant decide between the 1999 Mustang Cobra, the 2001 Firebird Formula, or the 2001 Camaro Z28. Can anyone tell me what is the fastest, which one would win a 1/4 mile race. What is eveyone's opinions on these three cars. What would you get? All your opinions are apreciated.

From what I have heard, the 99 Cobra isnt very well off. I am not sure why but thats just what i have heard. I would probably go with the Z if I were you.

2001 Camaro Z28 are more than 25,000 Try 29,000 or so and I think the 2001 Firebird Formula is very close to 29,000

You can get a fully loaded 2002 Z28 for around 25-26, that I basically all options except the SS, you can get a Trans am Ram air for 30.
