So let me first start out by saying that both cars rock. That being said I have been in a "discussion" with my brothers about which is the better car. Please stat your pro's and con's. Thanks

While the Daytona was an incredible Race car.....The A/C Cobra changed the game forever.

I love the look of the Daytona...I'd take it over a 260 or 289 powered...but I'd die to drive a 427 cobra....

This. Definitely a game changer. I love the factory five kits.

Don't like the ass end's on the Daytona's for some reason. It has always looked like they gave up when they got to that part of the car and slapped some tail lights on it.

I'll take a Shelby Croft.
A Daytona is a Cobra with a Peter Brock body. http://www.secondstrike.com/Coupe/Brock.htm
That being said, my pick would be a Comp Cobra

The discussion at hand which I have been a party to is focusing on racing. I would love to drive a 67 Cobra but the other brother says the Shelby Daytona is better handling and faster around a road course. I think the cobra would take the straights but the daytona would take the turns.

I've always had a hard on for the Daytona, but given the opportunity... eenie meenie miney mo...
Daytona is an awesome race car, I love the looks of it...
Cobra is lighter and probably actually faster, plus it's a roadster...
