I'd be happy with any of them . . . wait . . . no I wouldn't. 
I'd keep the CL!
Seriously, get the Cobra. The lightning is great until you want to haul people. The Dodge will haul people until it breaks down (who knows when).

LOL, thanks for the opinions everyone, I am still undecided. The reason that I want the cobra is because it is fast, and I can actually afford it. Oh yeah and it is a manual.
Dustbuster: do you know if the cobra has any major issues that I should be aware of, for instance things that break.

Get a Lightning and rip the passenger seat out and you will run 12's. My buddy has a 95 cobra (blown 8 pounds) and a lightning and the lightning puts the cobra to shame. Dont get a mustang, then you will be considered an asshole like the rest of them

The only reason that they are cheaper is becaause I can by an older one. I can't by a 1997 lightnight, if I could, then I bet they would be just as expensive. Just wondering what everyopne's opinions are

The scooter idea is a pretty good one.
Ultimately, the reason that I keep asking opinions is because when I want a car, I automatically think that it is the best car for me. I never take into account that it might not be a quality car. For instance, a ford that may break down easily.
I aloso tend to "fip flop". I go from car to car wanting a different one each week. So right now I am just trying to find a good fast car, that won't break down all the time.
So this is why I continue to ask opinions, but in the end, if I don't like the car I won't get it. As I said, I likee/want all the cars listed. Thanks for all the help guys.

the cobra is a cool car, but kinda slow. DO NOT GET AN R/T they are fucking dogs, i have 2 friends w/ them and they barely keep up w/ my cl OFF the bottle.
if you can afford insurance on the lightning you'd be stupid to not get it.

S2000 = Sports car.
Cobra = Sports car.
Lighting = Truck that can beat both your sports cars.
Why not get the thing that is more practical and what you don't already have (speed and towing capabilities). You'll be able to haul shit around like 8 girls and go to clubs super fast. Best damn thing to come out since the Typhoon.

Hmmmm....
What price range are these cars in....new or used? The '01 CL-S is like 30K isn't it, new? So I'm guessing the other choices are less expensive? IF those were my choices....I'd pick the Cobra.
Something about a pickup truck being a performance machine is off kilter to me. If I were to get a hot-rod pickup truck, I'd HAVE to have a crotch-rocket in the bed just so it wouldn't seem like I'm passing off a pickup truck as my speed machine

a pickup truck that'll run low 12's w/ less then 1000$ in mods and handles almost like a sportscar is a different story though

my only problem is that I really don't want to spend the extra few grand on a used lightning. But I do see what you guys are saying, I ahve been in love with the lightning ever since it came out, maybe I will just wait a few more months save some MORE money for sales tax and then buy a lightning.
For those of you who know anything about the mustang cobra, are they hard to maintain? Is there anything that is a common problem with it? Thanks for all the help, I appreciate everyone's opinions
