Drive'em both & you'll figure out which one suits you best pretty quickly. How are we supposed to know?

ifthe chargerwas put on 30K ago, put an extra grand in the price of the cobra as your head unitwill probably need a rebuild sometime in the oh-so-close future. Your also betting on a car someone modified for speed, so its probably used to some hard shifts and hammering...but that comes with modified car. As for the Gt, it has some goodies, but your biggest problem is in the engine. Personally i would take the cobra, but if reliability was more important i would rather bet my money on the GT.

yeah if money is a big issue then go with the GT but if its not that big of a deal get the cobra.
