Default 98 cobra or 01 gt? Street car!

Hey everyone, looking for my college car and I have always dreamed of a mustang. I have saved up 6000 for it and have narrowed it down to two, an 02 gt or a 98 cobra. Those are in my price range and awesome cars but for a street track what would be better along the way? I have big plans for the car, one day becoming a track car (I was also considering a audi tt but I don't think so...)

Any opinions or advice is appreciated!

without knowing anything about either car....cobra hands down. you need to include more information...pictures...etc...

the GT will be cheaper on insurance though, and has an advantage of being 3 years newer. but the real questions come down to what kind of condition both vehicles are in. if the cobra is beat up, the GT. if they are both in the same condition, the cobra.

Cobra FTW!

Can't beat the looks of a clean well modded sn-95 cobra!
