I am looking to buy a new car this coming July and was curious on what all of you thought. Would you suggest going with a 04 Cobra, or a 06 GT with an aftermarket SC? I would really like the 07 Cobra but really can't afford a $40K car, plus I get A plan for the GT (and waiting another year would kill me). Any information would be great. ie, how well will the internals on the 06 hold up with a SC compared to the 04? Thanks in advance!

To tell you the truth I'd rather have the 06 GT with 15K (+/-) still in my pocket for mods and other **** then paying 40K for a Name. I dont like the looks of the 94-04 mustangs so that wouldnt be a question.
given that the compression ratio on the 06 is so low and it runs on 87 gas it should take a s/c no problem. there is one kit out there that puts out 450 hp @ 8 psi of boost with an 11 psi pully available.
Depends, if you plan on doing some serious mods to the engine. The Cobra uses forged internals, dual overhead cam, and 4 valves per cylinder. It's going to be more durable if you beat the c**p out of it.
you will be able to get more power for the money from a 05 s/c but the 04 will be more reliable. for me it would come down to what body i like. drive both and choose

See....so who would go buy a Cobra for 40K when you can just slap on a SC?
That is why Im asking everyone's opinions. Besides that, I'd be willing to bet that an 03/04 Cobra is not going to cost 40K
lol an 03 Cobra is probobly going to cost half of that, and i would take an 03 cobra over the 06 stang GT. BUT i would still love to have an 07 GT500!!!

Take the cobra I just did last Sunday Brand New 04' Vert 36k, about 2k more then the 05 GT Vert they had on the lot. But if your looking for used you can get an 03/04 for less.

5.4>4.6 and 4v>3v last time I checked.
04=4.6 Last time I checked
Look at who I quoted dumbass.
Considering that this thread has nothing to do with the 07 5.4, what does it really matter....DUMBASS? You have an impressive knowledge of the english language by the way. Maybe next time you'll be a little more creative.

Dude, I don't give a ****. You got owned for not reading.
shifty, im not sure i understand your point. and yes i did read it, im gonna have to go with stang 9325 on this one, your application of the english language leaves something to be desired in the specific instance. please elaborate on how who you quoted make any difference here.
