I think Roush is a great price too. I have an 05 Stage 2 Conv with everything but the supercharger. I will ship it to Stage 3 motorsports and get the P-51 Charger/Engine kit for $12K installed and will put out 650HP. You can get a Stage 1 Roush cheap and do same for around $50K. Much better than Shelby.

as far as price thats not really an issue i just dont want to get something and find out theres something else better so then the cobra has a more powerful engine than the rest
is there a whole lot of difference?
No offense man, but you are going about this ALL wrong if you're thinking you are going to buy ANY car and then not find/see something better And you have a lot of research to do if you are looking to make and informed purchase but don't know if there is much difference between a Cobra and a GT model.
The Cobra is the tops due to its motor....it has a forged bottom to begin with and the 32v motor can handle a lot of mods out of the gate for big power gains.....were talking 500-600+ easily. You won't get anywhere near that with a 00-04 GT unless you plan to pull the motor and do some serious building. So if you are a gear-head looking to mod it up for power -which it sounds like you are (and I don't mean that in a bad way) - then Cobra would be the way to go.
If you are not looking to spend a lot of money and time modding up, then a nice 00-04 Saleen or Roush with an s/c would be quite an improvement for you compared to your current 2000 (assuming its a GT). A Mach I would even be a nice improvement as well at 305 crank hp.

+1 on the above. Don't let other people make a mistake for you.....put some serious time into doing your own research on the cars you're interested in. Only you know exactly what you are looking for....
Come here if you have questions about nuances about different aspects. So far....you've done the equivalent of walking into a liquor store and asking for something with alcohol in it .
