Cobra - Much more rare, Supercharged, 6-Speed, IRS, SVT. No choice here IMO.

If you ever want to sell it within the next 2 to 35 years... get the cobra. Jus look at the older Cobras... for '94-'95 they're selling for a good 2-5k more than the GT's, 99's are selling for a good 4-6k more.

Used '05 GTs are already selling for less than 25k with low miles

I think in general most people would say the cobra is better. I agree. It has a better block and can handle bolt on HP gians very well.

cobra. hands down. one of the sexiest Mustangs ever made in my opinion. gorgeous car...fast from the factory...and with a little bit of money...can be made ridiculous.

4V, forged, IRS, SVT, incredible front and rear bumpers, heat extractor hood, supercharged from the factory, 6 speed....the list just goes on and on.

Cobra. Ford says 390hp but its more like 425. People have thrown stock 03/04 Cobras on dynos and the get 360-370 at the wheels. The 05s are only 300. Get the Cobra. You put a smaller pulley on the Cobra and your well into the 12s. Cobras run 12.9s in stock form, 05's run 13.5's. Get the Cobra.

05s are 300 at the fly, so 260ish to the wheels
