I would go with the cobra. We got ours new and it has been in the family since 1998 so I know its been well maintained, the only mechanical problems ive ever had were parts that are meant to wear out after a period of time. Its 11 years old and still runs like a raped ape.

+1 cobra

thanks for all the replys, and idk if this helps but doing any kind of repairs/mods isnt really a huge deal as my dad was a former mechanic and we have a lift in our garage(just not hooked up) and have basically everything we would need to do an engine rebuild.

Also heres some pics of the mach for those who wanted to see

last week i went and talked to the dealer about it and he told me it had full SLP exhaust(headers too), it had cross drilled and vented rotors, possible gears, and it also had 2 TVs on the back of the head rests. He also said that it was in alot of car shows etc.

PS. he also has a Roush 440A for those in the New England area that are interested, I saw it up close, amazing car.

well it depends on whether or not i can afford the monthly payments and my dad and i can convice el madre.

if the mach ends up being sold by the time i am ready to by ill just look for a nice GT or even a Camaro(good deals on these lately).
