Default 2010 GT or 2003 Cobra?

Well I am currently about halfway through paying off my 2010 GT and I've always liked Cobras but who hasn't? I went for the 2010 originally because I put a bunch of miles on my car (~60 per day) and I wanted something reliable with a warranty. The question is: Do I leverage my 2010 into an 03 Cobra before it has too many miles and sacrifice the nice interior and fun gadgets for that lovely DOHC 4 valve? I am pretty sure I know what I'm going to do but I'm curious to know what fellow new mustang owners think.

If your Mustang is your DD, I would say keep the 2010. If you have something else to put miles on on a daily basis, a Cobra would be a great car to have!

I'm into performance...I would go with the cobra or install a supercharger on the "10". I love the supercharger whine.

I love termis, but I wouldn't want a 9yr old termi as a daily driver.

Well said. I am fairly certain that I have decided to wait until I have a job that lets me drive less each day then I'll reconsider.

If it were me, I would get the Termi.

But that is only if you can garage it and only take it out during the weekends for fun. If you need it as a DD, I too say keep the '10 GT
