Default 2005 Gt. vs 2001 Cobra

What would you pick out of the two? I would consider getting a 99 but I heard they have a lot of issues. Plus the 01 says cobra on the back.

'01 all the way, New Edge Stangs looks soooo much better than the newer ones., at least in my opinion.

I guess it depends how many miles are on each and the price. You can probably get the Cobra a little cheaper. If it is in good shape, get the Cobra.

you can get a pre-03/04 Cobra for WAY cheaper than an 05. i would go for the 01 for the black headlights, green interior lighting, COBRA rear bumper, and most of the bugs worked out of it. i really don't like the look of the S197s stock and the 99-02 Cobra bumper is my favorite front end ever, so i could be biased too.

I've raced plenty of 05+ GT;s and i beat them all. My cobra says COBRA on the bumper. I just had the bumper replaced. I like my seats better then the 01's anyway. The 01 seats are so uncomfortable. Anyway pick the 01. 4v>3v>2v
