Eh that's for you to decide, ideally you should keep the Cobra AND get an SVO lol. :P The SVO is a great car, they're fun, fuel efficient, and are only getting rarer. Go test drive one and then you can decide whether or not you're nuts.

As the owner of a 97 Cobra, but a fan of most Mustangs, I'd say the same as the others - keep the Cobra, buy an SVO. You'll enjoy both. They'll both be classics at some point. And , you won't be back on here in a few years (or even months) saying "man, I wish I still had my Cobra!"

Like all these guys said, the cobra is a sweet ride! I wouldn't get rid of it. Plus, even tho SVO's are getting harder to find, they can still be found, and usually pretty cheap. A lot of people that have them have kind of let them go to the wayside. There are usually a few svo's being sold on ebay and you can look through there to see what kind of money they go for these days. Even if you find one that needs work, you can get a killer deal on it and still drive the cobra around while fixing up the other!
