The time has come: 98 cobra or 01 gt
 
Well I have had my car for 2 years now and it just isn't satisfying my hunger for more power. :D

So I am stuck between a 96-98 cobra or a 01+ GT.
I am looking at a few and the prices aren't an issue...I have up to $13k to spend.

What you guys think? I'm gonna research it more and the pros/cons of each car etc... and by the beginning on August at the latest, I will have my new whip. :)

And for the questions that are going to come up, I am not parting out my car or selling my wheels, thank you lol.

I voted for the Cobra. Whenever I see a sn95 (or newer) Cobra I always wish that it were mine haha - I don't get like that when I see a GT.

Teh cobra is faster but the gt is more everyday,better gas mileage, you dont have to put premium into it.....if you plan to mod the car durr def get the cobra. Looks also goes to the slobra

Yeah I was also leanin' towards the cobra, the engine is a 4v and also has about 40hp extra than the GT and assuming responds much better to mods. :)

Insurance might be a little higher, or about the same, I still gotta check into that, but gas mileage and the way i'm gonna be driving that thing might not make double digits haha. :D

Well, im probally gonna get bashed on this one, but if you arent just a ford guy you mite want to check into a C4. These cars have bottomed out in value. I've seen many in great shape sell for6k-8k, and with some mods, these things can really get up and go. just an idea.

Cobra FTW.

The will both get very similar MPG.
They will both cost remotely the same for insurance.
The Cobra has 40 more bhp.
The Cobra is about half a second quicker in the 1/4 mile.
The Cobra responds 2X better to mods.
The Cobra will have a higher resale price in the future.
Cobra just sounds cooler than GT.[8D]
