Looking for a daily driver. I've been looking at whippled Terminators or used 2011 Base Coyotes.

That would be a hard decision. Personally 03/04 cobras had always been a dream car for me. The more I look at them though the less appealing they seem. Interior is decent and the exterior is the same. I would have to vote for a new 5.0. Because its more modern and it seems to have a good base to start out with. Interior is great and you can make them look very nice on the outside as well. Then very few mods to make it quick. Also the rides are totally different. The 11s ride way better then the older body style. Plus I'm sure gas mileage will be better with the 5.0

The terminators gonna be faster for cheaper but for a DD I'd get the newer interior for sure.

5.0 fo sho

Reliability and comfort

This.

I'm sorry, but after owning my '98 Cobra and then my '05 & '08, I could never go back to that dated interior no matter how much power you can make with a Terminator.

5.0. - way more comfortable and it has a lot of potential to make power. In my eyes the 5.0 made the terminator obsolete

I'm with him. The new 5.0 has major potential. Although termis are still a awesome car. Would not want to dd a built one.

+1 I have a 2000 V6 as my DD. Its like a fuckin fossil compared to the 07. There almost as big a difference between those as there is between the 2000 and my 72 Torino when seated.

I had 2 03 cobras and they were pretty quick....but I'll never go back to that style mainly because of the interior.

Thats a tough decision man, Id love either Ive always wanted a termi and have a few friends that have them one uses his as a dd and has no problems with it only thing done to it though are off road x pipe , flowmasters and a pulley swap , so if you do anything more to the cobra Id suggest a 5.0 as we all no its hard to keep any car stock with our addiction lol

If DD,used Coyote for sure. I love the Terminators and the exterior is pure sex but the interior is what turned me to my 5.0 plus you will get great handling and excellent MPGs. Go drive a 5.0 and you will be sold. Good luck!!
