Ford engine cobra vs. Chevy engine cobra- race for bragging rights?

[rodneym]

Is it just me or are you simply trying (by means of polls, being a provocateur, etc) to justify what you have?

You seem to 'have it out' for FEs, 15" wheels...and originality in general.

Just be happy with what you've got. If we all loved what we have better, we'd all be a lot happier

Hmmm... interesting point.

I have only one contention - I love what you got... and I couldn't be happier

Just sayin'

Never been too concerned about the resale side of it... suppose if I ever deside to sell it (not likely) I could throw a Ford crate motor in it. I change motors and transmissions about as often as I change socks anyway.

lol, we're on the same page. My last post is a good example of me not justifying what I have. Heck, I even started the "Let's See Your Chevy Powered Cobra" thread. Why? Because the chevy guys catch an inordinate amount of chit from some of the ford guys, I happen to like 'em all.

"Just be happy with what you've got. If we all loved what we have better, we'd all be a lot happier"

Amen to that, my comment had to do with olddog's comment below. May have been true in the 90's but not so much these days from what I see. Quality of motor build will dictate selling price, not motor brand. No need to snub non-ford builds under the umbrella of resale value, younger generation buyers are already jumping all over the latest in high tech motors, who makes it is inconsequential.

Not everyone, but most. Not to mention how many rude comments your going to get, and you cannot whip everyone who pi$$es you off ...
