should I trade 04 gt for 03 cobra?

I currently own an 04 gt with all the basic bolt on mods: under drive, cai, tb, plenum, k&n, exhaust, h&r springs, adjustable shocks and struts, cobra front brakes, frame connectors. I bought this car new 2 years ago. Have an oppurtunity to buy an 03 cobra with 39,000 miles. Mine only has 26,000. Not sure what mods if any are on the cobra. Just trying to justify to myself whether it's worth it or not. Have never been in a cobra and this is my first sports car. How much difference is there in hp and handling cobra vs. what I've got now?

A Cobra is one of the few cars that will get me out of the one I have now. As Nike would say, "Just do it".

diddo to what these guys are saying. Even if the cobra isn't modded its already faster stock then your car and you can put about 1000 bucks into and it will be up there like 400+ to the wheels.

Is it the smart move..........No..

Is it a fun move................Yes..

You know what your car has been threw and it has less miles.. You DON'T know what the Cobra has been threw and it has more miles.. Thats why I say ist's not a smart thing to do.. Not ot mention ALL the money you will loose that you put into mods.. Chances are you will get a fraction of what you paid for all the mods.. However, an 03 Cobra would me ALOT more fun to drive..

Up to you to decide..
