Go with the Cobra but only if it's a perfect low miler. The vehicle is far superior and definately a keeper.
I'm considering selling my GT and going Cobra right now.

I've heard that non-abused Cobras are hard to find, I'd be worried that I would miss something while inspecting it. The S197 after-market is getting better every day. I would keep the Roush. Some of those Terminators sure can fly, though.

Do you have a pic of the cobra? Whats the milage? location? need more info on the cobra.... anyways I'd say keep the Roush and save for the Cobra. Thats what I did with my S/C 05. Iamso gladI didn't sell my 05and nowI have a really hot, moded, low miles Mach1 and my 05 which I think is waymore comfortable than previouse generations.

Not to mention the SN95 stangs rode like $hit and rattled like crazy.

Glad to hear you're keeping the Roush. I drove my SN-95 Mustang for 9 years and I think the S197 is at an entirely different level beyond the SN-95. The 450rwhp limit on the stock 4.6 can be overcome for a few thousand dollars with forged internals. Once that's done, you can swap pulleys, improve fuel management, get a custom tune, and be at 650+rwhp pretty easily. It's a no-brainer.

Put the Crack pipe down.............All the mods and your thinking about the Cobra? Grass is always greener i guess?
The Terminator is the Car the new [so called] Shelby should have had kinship with instead of being a bloated GT, it is THE archetypal Killer Mustang and always will be.

A bit off-topic, but my '95 GT had 95k miles when I sold it last year and it didn't have a single squeak or rattle (interior or suspension/chassis).

Night and day difference. My wife just laughed at me and said she knew I wouldn't keep that promise.
