Help me choose a mustang

[DAPOT]

Hello, I'v always wanted some American muscle. Fell in love with a mustang recently.... Anyway I have the opportunity to get either a 95k 5 speed, '01 white GT for 6 grand or a Red Cobra '99 for 5450 with like 84k miles. I think the cobra is a better deal but I think red is a girly color. I really wanted a shiny midnight black or something or atleast white. What do you guys think? Thanks

red is not girly! Id snatch up that cobra

I would definitely get the Cobra or a 4 valve. If you don'tlike the color then wait till you find what you want...you'll thank yourself in the end

[DAPOT]

Yea... seems pretty stupid to take a cheaper cobra over a gt because of the color.

How do I know if this cobra is having HP issues like other 99s? Or do I assume its fixed now?

[StriderTacticaL]

No don't assume it was definitely fixed...I donno what to look for but try posting in the Cobra section or on SVTPerformance.com and ask...or maybe you can get the VIN checked at a Ford dealership

[DAPOT]

and I can't wait because I need the car for school. Guess I'll go with the cobra then if It's fixed.

Thanks

The cobra is defiantely a better starting platform if you plan to mod..

[StriderTacticaL]

Well thats a shame cause I think you'd really be better off with an 01 Cobra instead

99.999999% of the '99 Cobras have been fixed. If you want to make sure look at the driver's side lower intake (near the alternator bracket) and you will see either a blue or green dot. These dots indicate that the car has had "the Fix" done. You can also call 1-800-FORD-SVT or your local dealer and give them the VIN, they'll check the OASIS report for the car and confirm.

P.S. Get the Cobra, you'll regret it if you don't.
