14k in parts+ 16k for the car..... 30k total
and there is only more and more being invested to it each month.

racer, if you dont mind me asking - how much have you put into your car by now?

Not too bad for what kind of power your car puts out. Is the suspension done up any yet?

RE: Saying goodbye to my gt...
nope, a broker in Orlando... nice guy... has everything inspected, even agreed to a compression test by tropical ford... and also has a 14 day buyback I believe (have to verify that). I actually stay in Bradenton... guy goes to auctions all over the state, has em inspected, carfaxed the whole 9 yards... easy going guy... seemed real straight up... he and his brother run the business, they have a ton of Mach's.. and Cobras, and a couple goats... selling me the car for around 700 or so what he has invested, im sure he'll make a good amt off of my trade... gave me 15,5 for it which i dont mind especially with the bumper damage. but, we were there checking out hte Cobra and he had someone looking at my car already - thought it was for sale, haha...

Nice! Congrats!
I considered getting a Cobra for 2-3 weeks before I bought my GT, but then I decided that it wouldn't be the best option for me because of insurance cost, the fact that I would be tempted to haul every second and kill gas, and it would be my DD.

Wow you have it great! Not a bad increase in insurance and you must do a considerable amount of highway driving? In the city, I would think the Cobra would give much worse gas mileage by 4-5 mpg.
