The s197 looks way better, but if you want pure speed go for the 03 cobra. I was asking the same question a couple of years ago. I have an 05 gt now and no regrets!

Why not just get an 08 GT, save up a little bit and buy a completely assembled forged block and then throw on a supercharger? You could throw down some crazy numbers, have someting unique, and still have the best of both worlds wtih power and looks

Unless your trying to go Barrett-Jackson drive it like you stole it everyday!!! To hell with what its worth in 50 years. I will have def gotten my moneys worth outta mine.
you can still do that without having to beat the crap out of the vehicle
Maybe the term drive it like you stole it was a lil harsh but my point is enjoy the car nowfor what it is, don't leave it in a vaccum sealed garage just to look for a big payday in 30 in yrs.These cars may be a dime a dozen but I def enjoy mine andhopefullyI'mfortunate enough to hold on to mine for years to come.

What you just said does sound good and well, buut That would cost alot more money than just buying a 26k Terminator.

tough decision but I would probably go for the Cobra (depending on its condition)

It may take more money, but hey he didn't really specify his budget to spend. saw terminators even more xpesnive than 35k, and I bought my 07 GT for $26000 brand new special ordered...and that was before i traded in my car for $17k more off the 26k price, so really it's not that bad if you could space it out and sell what you need to or had the money...kind of a blank question to start this thread...

You can't beat the sound of the 03-04 cobras either IMO!! Especially w/ full Bassani exhaust WOOO WEEEEE that is pure heaven!!!! Don't forget the whine of that Supercharger too!
I will have to agree with you!
Those quad cams are just pure music and the S/Cwhine is like a solo after the break.
