It was a 5 speed. I didnt buy it, i finally went on a test drive, when i drove it i noticed the brakes sucked. to even get it to come to a stop i had to stand on the brakes, even then it barely came to a stop. And the power steering was all messed up, when you wanted to turn you had to keep your foot on the gas, I felt like i was riding my jet ski by the way you had to turn. I ran away from that one lol. It was a death trap

is it possible to find a 99-04 gt 5 speed in decent shape with not alot of miles for 5k. If anyone knows of one around the Dc, Maryland, Virginia area please let me know.
Thanks!

Iv'e got a buddy who drives a 99 cobra with 4:30 gears, and he says he cruises at around 3500 rpms. Its really up to the driver as to whether the high cruise rpms are worth the added pep around town.
