If I was going to buy a weekend car, I'd buy an old school impalaor chevelle or something.

 

I cant believe im about to add to this STUPID thread that is never ending.

its all a matter of personal taste... they are both nice cars.... the end of it. if you really want to argue about this whole thing, take a step back and look into the history of both!!!! compare a 67 mustang to a 67 audi, the audi is garbage in that time frame

just drop this thread already, or I will start one named 2.7t VS Trans/am.We have both in my family, and let me tell you the Trans Am will rock the crap out ofmy audi.... and gets more looks anyday.

Now hopefully this will be the last reply to this thread... let it end please, its posts like this that make me regret buying an audi. Anyways, Cadillacs are better..... ooooohhhhh didI just ad to this never ending thread? Yes I did. Caddy superior to audi....lets get another 5 pages going

 

Is this forumso busy with new posts that this topic somehow is a problem? Otherwise I fail to see why anyone cares....if you don't wish to participate in this topic, then by all means don't - but if others wish to continue the discussion then so be it.

As to your Trans Am getting more looks.....I can only imagine that is for one of three reasons. Either A: People are trying to see if you are Burt Reynolds, B: People are curious if it is the real KITT from Knight Rider, or B: People are trying to see if the driver is still wearing a mullet.

Personally, I have no admiration of the Trans Am. The1st generation model was ok but still wasn't quite as nice as the Camaro it shared a platform with, but it seemed after that the styling went downhill fast and by the 90s it was almost comical due to it's extensive use of cheap plastics (both inside and out)and a nose that looked like the Pontiac designers were just trying to see how far they could go before someone at GM actually noticed. I hate to say it, but when most people look atlate model Camaro, Firebird, or Trans Am....I don't think it is with admiration, which probably explains why they killed it back in 2002.

The 2009 Camaro looks better than any of them since the 60s, but I'll have to see one in person (and see how it handles) before laying down final judgement.It it isyet another 2-door gas guzzling coupe with tons of power that has no idea how to handle a corner, then it won't earn much praise from me, but if GM can actually produce a car that handles as well as it looks, then I think they just might have a winner.

Opinions vary I guess, but I personally know very few people who think those cars were attractive. Then again, some people bought the Pontiac Aztec and the AMC Pacer too.....so it takes all kinds I suppose.

 

When I look at a Tans Am, which I do very often in fact, it is seriously for most of the reasons Costner mentioned. Someone driving an older model in this day and age has some real issues with letting go, or if it's newer they have no taste.

People go out and buy cars and then slap nasty looking body kits on them and ride around getting stares (of disgust), well that's a Trans Am... stock; it comes off the lot with all this crap all over it, who cars how fast it can go in a straight line, it's friggin' ugly.

Cadillac, well those are some great cars, and suvs, and trucks, so yeah. Audi and Caddy should not be compaired in this thread, since I love both, and my head would blow up, so don't don't, k.

 

Trans AM? Laff

Anyways... Cadillac's ARE nice cars. One of the few American brands I stand behind. Love their newer stuff, and even their older stuff is ****. Just been consistently doing good things since I can remember.... with the exception of the Catera... terrible car. Bring back the Cadillac Allante!!

Audi's and Caddy's aren't exactly comparable either, seeing as how Cadillac's are more like... spruced up and much betterChevy's. Their nice, but I wouldn't consider them "top tier" like BMW, Mercedes, Audi, and Lexus.

 

Oh god the Catera! I had a friend work tech support at a GM call center and the seats would catch on fire in those horrible things, a lot of his calls would be Catera related. They were ugly too.

 

Hahahaha the ugliest dash you've ever seen! Wow
A. You choose the shardiest picture you could find which bleaches out the color.
B. ALL the buttons work even 5 years after you buy the car.
C. Leather is better than suede. Especially the baseball glove leather they offer. Amazing (the main reason fords uses suede is because it is cheaper)
D. The interior of all fords are pure plastic.
E. If the interior of mustangs are so much better than Audi's, because Audi interiors are ugly, why do about half of the mustang owners
"modify" the **** out of their interior only to make so much more worse. haha
F. And what is up with the gay baby blue glow behind the dash?

haha 67 mustang to a 67 audi. who gives a ****? haha why don't you compare things that were built during the time frame you have been on this earth? And if your 45 years old posting on a forum where the average age is about 22, you should really probably be focusing on the more important things in life. I imagine you are probably 15 and have never actually driven either of the cars =)

 

Quote: well, friend of mine got a 6.0l goat....full exhaust, throtle body, intake, tune. At 4000+lb it is no match for an '03-'04 cobra. Every time he tryed me, he lost, dig, drag, highway. Unless u got some kind of power adder, its pointless.

Oh boy, now I'm getting thrown into this.

First of all, GTO's weigh in at 3750, not 4000+ at least get that little part right. Second, apples and oranges. NA vs. FI. That is a debate that could go a long time too. It did in the GTO forums. Problem is at the end of the day, it's still a Ford, it's still a crustang. Nothing exciting about that.

P.S. Seen A LOT of Cobras going down to GTO's. Lots of factors in the loss, from "power adders" to driver mod.

 

Wow I can believe this topic is still going on. All I wanted to find out in the begining was if I even have the chance against V6 mustang. Im not a racer and I wouldn't even attempt to raced him then if he didn't started and i wouldn't do that again ever. I won and i shut him up since then, but the guy know nothing about the car, and he is not even a racer, he drove an automatic, it was all about impressing the girl with his mustang. I dont care much for mustang regardless how fast they can go, I love my audi and I wouldnt trade it for anything...unless for a newer audi. So I just don't see the point why comparing the Cobra and the other mustang with A6 when they are completely different car. Audi is way sexier looking and that's all I cared about.

 

Well.....we still going...and going...and going.
Im not a big fan of trans ams, camaros, espesialy new edge ones. They do have some crazy **** on the street evry now and then, but im not that big on a body and interior. Cadilacs, well, the only one i would consider is cts or cts-v, it is a preaty bad *** car.....everything else eather to big, or for old people.
As for cobras interior, not the best one however got few nice lines.....the best one is probably seats, used still retail for over $1200 an do sell like hot cakes. Not a cheap sued, actualy its a italian sued and the whole point of it was so ur butt wont slide all over the place in case u do turn. And they are preaty comfy for buckets.
V6 stang is crap in my opinion, however people do make nice sleepers out of them. Get used v6, put shelby engine, drivetrain in it some other stuff. Its fun to see peoples faces after week lil 6 kills a vette.
I generaly like most off cars, if it got engine, wheels, and some kind off steering, its already got mine atention. So different cars for different purposes....different price range.... but belive it or not, in a near future i will A6 parked next to my cobra, and thats just the way i like it.
