need some opinions!
 

ok so here it is . . . well i bought a 03 mustang gt in sept 08 with 73,000 miles on it. so i like it its a great car but now my parents friend mite be selling their cobra (99 i think its stick) they just put a new motor in it like last week. its a convertable

well if my parents buy this car it will eather go to my dad or my younger brother witch is getting his license in april . .. but if we buy it i mite be able to take the cobra and my dad take the gt or my younger brother will take the gt. . . so im in a little pickle what do you guys think i should do?

If it was me I would go with the Cobra because I believe it has better performance and they're faster. I love Cobra's, I'm after one my self, hoping around next year. I've always wanted a Mustang and now I can't get my mind off the Cobra's

Some where in my Performance thread there was a guy talking about his Cobra 99-01 and the 03-04 Cobra's, too lazy to look. LoL He has a blue mustang in his signature.

haha ok thanks i will look it up .. . but my parents friend said he doesnt know if he will be selling it but if he does we will most likely buy and then figure somthing out from their

If you like it and want it then I would go with it, I think it's faster and just sexier, better performance as well. But don't mind me I don't know that much, just learning from what they said and clueless about the GT. I have a 1995 Ford Mustang 5.0 GT, so eh.

if you look through this thread there is alot of talk about cobras, and I go through the basics on them. Definitely go for the cobra if you can, it is a good step up from a gt and is a much better motor to build on.

yea im in the same boat im just trying to learn as much as i can about both cars and then make the decision. I really like the cobra so idk what i will do

yes i just read that whole thread. but thanks for the link.. .

I was hoping he would come in here, hehe I like him. LoL. I would so go with the Cobra or I'll go take it for you. I'd die to have one, because then I can start working on it and actually start racing. Yeah I want to learn a lot too, but not everything because then it will be boring. Since I never went to school or anything, I think I'm going to take AutoMotive for my Dipolma.

You're seriously awesome. I'm going to post a link after I find it. It's about the Cobra I was talking about with a girl and one I found for cheap. I don't like it though, but you might have a better opinion.

Nevermind I can't find it, but I keep looking at this Cobra for some odd reason.

the link to the first one doesn't work.
There are some nice cobras for sale there, especially that true blue 01, lol.

mustangvsix thats a bias opinion lol

Bias?

Why because it looks like yours? I can't have a convertiable, it will get wrecked really easy.

By a new motor you mean it went under a rebuild, right?


If it's clean, and everything checks out buy it if the price is right.

what do you mean, I based that opinion off the proven fact true blue cobras are the fastest and coolest....lol:D

I hate Blue. :(

Blue hates you. True blue is one of my favorites!

I already found that out. :(

I like the yellow in your signature. :D

Me too, now if the car cooperated with the color it'd be a kick butt car.

to tell the truth i really dont know:( my parents did not say much except they got a new motor for it. they said it was expensive so im guessing the got like a brand new motor, but what do i know ill try to find out

My guess would be a rebuilt. Very few people buy new engines...

Re-do it?

what?

Your paint job?

best color is Crystal White - DSG - Sonic Blue - Then 03GT's Colorado Red -

gotta love the Colorado Red/Torch Red which paint code is D3

Hell no, lol. The car hasn't been working the greatest, but the paint is great.

What does that look like?
Is that the only car you have? What's wrong with it?

Sonic Blue is amazing....or Voodoo Blue. Both are SICKK!!!

IMO I would go with the Cobra, just the fact that you'd have a Cobra instantly makes it ten times better. Or if you had a Mach 1. If the motor has just been rebuilt or bought brand new I'd definitely take it over a normal GT.

If I knew what was wrong with it, it would be fixed. You can read my thread in the 4.6l tech section, that lists my troubles with it pretty thoroughly...

I wish the Stealerships were actually useful.....I've been in the same position that you are King. My SVT Focus had a problem to where it would just randomly die and the dealer wanted $500 to "look" at it.
