Would it be stupid to trade a 98 GT for a 94 Cobra ?
Honestly, would it be stupid to trade a 98 GT for a 94 Cobra ? I've had a lot of stuff done to the GT (intake manifold replaced, brakes, radiator replaced, plugs, wires). My mom thinks that if I trade for the Cobra, that I would be going backwards and losing money. Do you guys see this as a good idea, or as me throwing my money away ?

You are getting 215 BHP from your GT, and would step up to 240 BHP with the Cobra, and of course a better suspension. If you already have the suspension and engine mods, I would keep the GT.

Not me... I have a friend that has a lot of work in his '94 5.0 cobra and is still only running low 14's. I was running low 14's out of the box. Keep the '98 and do the PI swap and you will love it.

yeah, I think I'll keep the pony I got, besides, isnt the frame of the cobra made of iron or something, so it makes it heavy ? The cobra has 90k miles on it, and I have 103k on my car.......I'm still torn though.....my car is an auto and I really want a manual....., besides the guy that has the car would do an even trade with me, because he's trying to get rid of the cobra because he has 3 other cars, he let his uncle drive it because he had so many cars already. He took the car back from his uncle, and now he doesnt want the car, it sits in his garage under a car cover.

Eh, I've considered that posibility as well. I say keep the 98 GT. THe 94 Cobra only has 240hp stock and weighs more than your car. Unless it's super clean or modded then stick with the 98 and invest in that. That's what I would do.
