supercharge it or buy a cobra?
 
What’s up everyone? I'm looking for some opinions/suggestions on what route I should take with my car.

Yesterday, I found a 2003 SVT Cobra, 55,000 miles, loudmouth II's, O/R H pipe, cai, and I believe a pair of 3.73's. The guy wants to sell it to me for $19,500. I really want it, but I don’t know if the extra money needed to buy it would be worth it. Looking at my sig below of what I have done to my car, what are ya guys' suggestions on what to do?

If I don’t buy the cobra, any ideas on a route I could go to gain some power? I was thinking about supercharging it, or some gears... I have about $1600 saved up right now but probably double that by summer. Any suggestions would be great.

if you can make a fast two valve but the easy and cheaper is get a cobra look good and fast

cobra has forged internals better potentials and looks mean. 19k for a cobra with 55k miles is a good price. I payed $18,500 for my 04 GT.

I dont know it depends. 19,500 is an awesome price but it does have some miles on it.

If you have the money go for it

Cobra. Ask Fonc, he has done a shitload of stuff to his GT, hes pushing about 400HP and he wishes he had a cobra. All the problems you get through time and all the labor and trial and error sometimes aint worth it.

Yea Im pretty sure I'm going to go with the cobra. Its really tight. I'm just worried about the mileage..

03gtmustang 11-05-2006 07:10 PM

Well can you afford it?

Stan 11-05-2006 08:06 PM

well if you can afford it go for it.. mileage kinda high IMO... I dunno I like your car id get a quote on how much it would cost for gears and a supercharger then id decide then..

"If" you can afford it, get the cobra. I've got around $50k invested in 3 different mustangs (2 classics and my '03) and none of them are as awesome as a cobra. At this point I'd rather have 2 cars and one of them be a terminator. I hate hind sight.

insurance is going to go up! id go cobra route tho! seems like a good deal!

stanger00 11-05-2006 11:28 PM

the cobra has normal miles on it. 15k a year that is the norm these days from what i was told.

i would still get the cobra. its a lot cheaper to get 600 hp out of it then a 2 valve.

Cobra FTW!

nbakid23 11-06-2006 05:03 AM

Yea Im 90% sure Im going Cobra! Im going to see it today and test drive it, make sure nothing is wrong, then talk to my dad and see if its cool. hopefully everything goes well..

insurance is going to KILL your wallet. Be prepared. I'd just build and supercharge your existing car. You've paid for the right and it's a good foundation. If 4v heads and a blower are that important, then buy and install them.

jeredan2003 11-06-2006 07:41 AM

Go with the cobra.

stanger00 11-06-2006 07:58 AM

he does sound like a youngin since he brought up the dad line. so insurance will prolly put a damper on the go fast goodies. i had my car for 5 years just supercharged last october and im buying a motor next summer and moving up to a turbo kit after i save up for that. these things take time. air force only pays me so much. i should study to make rank
