I like them but i dont but i do like them. pros: quicker, better ride, better interior set up, and more aftermarket. cons: spark plugs they are expensive and they will get stuck in the head, drive by wire throttle system, and the exterior. these are my opinions on the 05 up if it was me buying i would save and get a 03-04 cobra they are well worth the $$$ and i know a guy who just bought a 03 cobra vert for $17,000 with 40,000 miles on it

I'd also take a 03-04 Mach 1 over the S197! I've seen some really sweet deals on them!

Actually no! The new edge gt has a iron block. The S197 gt is aluminum.
