Default next STEP!

So i have a 2002 mustang gt with 57000 miles on it.
So far i ve done cold air intake, MM sub frame connectors, mandrel pipes with cherry bombs mufflers.
I use this car as a daily driver but i also autocross it. fun times by the way!

I probably would need to get my suspension set up now ,lowering springs ,caster camber plates and shocks.

But i also want more power ,like nitrous, supercharger etc...

i have a 2500$ to spend for mods
What would you do?

Also ,i been looking to get a cobra they will give me 9000$ on a trade in for my mustang to get a 2003 cobra convertible around the same mileages for 19000$

so with my cash about 7000$
it that s a good deal or not?

so my questions is would you mod the heck out of the gt or buy the cobra (which a cobra would always hold it s value more then a GT )
and it s a bigger block and heads so what to do ?

thanks for your fine expertise

kevin

I would get the Cobra if you can afford the car payment. If you don't want to deal with having a car payment just get a supercharger. You can find a bunch of used kits for under your budget.

What's your goals?

If you want the cobra because of the name then do that. If you want in the 700+ hp and "It's about the Cobra Name" then get the cobra.

If you want to build a nice 400-500hp car, stick with the GT. 400hp is easy as Sunday morning with a GT and a S/C.

2003 cobra are s/c if im not mistaken, and will put out alot more power than an s/c GT cause of the internals and the block itself...so you get the picture
