If you can afford $20k, save for a little while until you can afford a little more and get an 03 or 04 Cobra. You'll probably have to pay between 25-30k for one of those in like new condition.

Because they have a Supercharged 390HP motor in them stock. And they also respond well to mods. If you like the 99-04 models, this is the way to go.

well here is my 2 cents... if you are looking for a cobra then yes.. the 03-04 cobras are the way to to go.. they have some extra goodies that previous models don't have and are called "terminators" for a reason.. but for less money you can get a 99-04 GT in good condition then supercharge it to more hp then the stock cobra's. So basically I would say it depends on what you are really looking for. Personally I would suggest trying to find an '02-'03 or so GT in good condition then slapping on a supercharger but.. it's up to you..

Personally....I waited until I found my GT for $7900, then I waited and got a good deal on a used supercharger kit for $1600. I'm a budget racer!
