Default New job coming soon... what to do with 4.6

Well guys I recently was offered a new job, where i make WAY more money then i currently make. I sell cell phone, and was offered a job making $3 more an hour and $25 for every phone i sell. I'm going to take it, thats a sure thing. But i'm not sure what to do about my mustang. I want to keep it, but i've been thinking about maybe buying another mustang. I can do 1 of 2 things

A) Keep my vert, and drop a ported, cammed, 4.6 pi in with a vortech. Full saleen bodykit, 03 cobra rims, and full suspension.

OR

B) Buy a used 05 gt, and do basic bolt on's. and get a daily driver.

What would you do?

well after thinking more on the subject because the new stangs have a different setup and companies are investing more in our motors why not keep modding your car (possibly changing motor to a 4v) plus it is a vert and you've poured your heart and soul in it already. When faced with a similiar dillema I bought a 01 lightning and I dont regret it but I now have fallen back in love with the gt. My point is if you sell you'll be sorry[&:]

Thats what i was thinking, but the dude above you made a good point... how much can you get an 03 black cobra for with 30-40k on it?
