Exclamation supercharged or SVT?

Hey everyone I'm in the market for a mustang and I found two that I really have my eye on but can decide which.

A 2004 Mustang GT with a Paxton Novi 1000 supercharger
22,000 miles

or

A 2001 SVT Cobra convertible stock
39,000 miles

Prob the GT because the cobra is a vert and i dont really like verts as much, just my opinion though, if the cobra was hard top i'd say It and that price is a little steep imo

the motor can handle 450rwhp safely but i would suggest not going to much over the 400rwhp mark. the car now at 330rwhp is pretty safe but anytime you add FI on a stock engine like that anything is possible. the cobra i believe is the same way, they have the crappy rods and pistons which again 450rwhp is usually the limit.

Yeah true but the only thing is, is I'm 18 and have basically no credit. So I don't think I could get a loan approved from the bank. But at the dealership I have a better shot. And that GT is a private seller while the Cobra is at a dealership. Are stock 01 Cobras fast?
