Add some PI H/C/I on yours and you'll be like any other 99+GT

If you are thinking about getting a 01 GT forget about it and go buy an 01 cobra. You will seriously wet your pants on the difference between the two motors.

I almost got one. it was 7k more with 40k more miles than my gt was. I drove the Cobra for an entire day(our pre-owned dept took it in as a trade in)...honsetly I didnt think it was WAY faster then my bolted on GT. Still a great car though...had $$ not been an issue I would have def gotten the Cobra.

I bought my 99 cobra for the engine inside. Every single bolt-on I have seen @ least a 9 HP increase on my car, from what I hear this is much less on GT's.

It really is a BIG diff going from the 94-98 to the 99-04s. Our local stang club here is mostly all 99-04s, and we had this one guy with an orange 97 GT, we all went to the track, all the 99-04a were running 13.9s easily, and they were mostly all just normal bolt ons (exhuast, intake etc etc). And the 97 GT which had a lot of bolts on also was BARLY making it into the 14's, he was running 15s and his last run he finally got a 14.99 and thats that he had drag radials. Not even a week after he went and bought him self a 2000 GT and he put all the parts he had on his 97 GT on his 00 GT and now hes in the mid 13s. SO yes, there is a pretty big diff in both.
