Monte, but of course I drive a Buick
I'm actually a ford guy at heart, but the '96 Cobra did absolutely nothing for me. I would also think the Monte will be worth more over time if it is in good condition, miles are documented/not to high, etc. The Monte SS was one of the last cars that actually resembled something used in nascar.

 

I cant even fit in a 96 Cobra those things dont have any room.

 

Cobra.

 

neither their both ugly

 

monte, the cobra is slow and ugly, especially with that scuffed rear bumper and busted tail light

 

the cobra

 

figures eric would have something smart to say. wasnt askin bout my car e-law. just the cars in general.

 

The Monte Carlo is a better bet financially since they're cheap all over the country. If you buy something cheap, it's pretty much not going to depreciate. Any work you do to the Monte is going to raise its value, not the case with a '96 Cobra.

Working an '85 Monte SS is easier than working a '96 Cobra. In '85, engines still went into the car from the top, not the bottom, so it'd be easy to yank that weak ass 305 and stick something in there. It's possible to get a big block in a Monte SS, I don't think it's as easy in a '96 Cobra. Also, '85 means it's 20 years old and a lot of emissions laws (if ever brought back) would not apply.

Insurance is probably cheaper on an '85 Monte Carlo. Chevrolet parts are usually cheaper than Ford parts too, at least from my experience. Plus, an '85 Monte Carlo is god damn comfortable to sit in. I don't fit in new-model Mustangs.
