Default S197 vs Terminator

Hello a unique opportunity was offered to me; to trade my 08 GT for an 04 Terminator. My car is relatively new (only 4800 miles) & the Terminator has 22K. So the Terminator is in prestine shape as well.

I LOVE my car, but the Terminator was one of those cars that has always attrackted me. I will put a whipple on my car in the near future. So my car with a whipple or the Terminator.

What would you do?

Thats tough, when i see another s197 i look, turn my head. When i see an 03-04 cobra, i look and say dammmmmm. I think though charging the s197 and being that there are soo many different ways to make the apperence stand out verse the cobra. the s197 may be better, but again a theres not to many 03 cobras running around and they can be stupid fast. What color is the cobra

WOW. thats a tough one. an s197 with a whipple or a termie. straight up trade or will you have to give him some $$$. the termie is much stronger(suspension, engine, ect) but i love the body style of the s197's. really up to you. which do you want more?

What I love is that there are thousands of people with modded S197's but no 2 are alike... and the differences are usually not very subtle but honestly new edges look great and all but they pretty much all look the same to me.... although they look sick with Cowl hood's in my opinion I will say that =)

I would love to have a termi just to play around in, but there's no way I would trade my S197 for it. I do think the termi's look damn good, and I'd take one right now...but only as a third mustang.
And this is why my next house will have a bigger garage....
