Welcome to the forum! I would probably take the 01 Cobra if I had to choose between the two.

have you driven both? Which one looks like/ drives like it has been pampered? Thats the one I would go with. You don't want someone elses problems.

I'd go with the cobra personally

The clunk in the Cobra is probably the differential bushings, not the tranny.

I'd go with the GT. The 99 cobra's weren't that much stronger especially if a supercharger is in the plans.

I wouldn't buy a car with known problems unless I knew I could fix them all in the driveway. Just my opinion though.
