obviously, with 10k you cant buy an 03 outright, but if you can, finance the rest.
if not, have you thought about picking up a 99+ GT and put TT or supercharger on it? could save you a little money, and you'd still have one fast car on your hands. just my opinion.

If you can find a 93 Cobra get it and keep it stock and in 10 years sell it for a **** load lol

Why exactly do you want a Cobra? Unless you're gonna go Terminator, then I would invest that $ into your GT. If I was in your position right now, I would put a 392 short block with AFR 185's, TFS 351 EFI intake, 42# inj's, Comp cam, electric water pump, full exhaust, Black Magic fan, 3.55's and a T-56 in there. I had a '90 with a Lightning 351 in it. Dump the rest into good brakes, suspension, and stiffening. With that setup you would absolutely annihilate any stock and most modified Cobras including the upcoming '07. In fact, if you're just wanting a New Edge, then I'd sell the GT and get a New Edge V6, so you'll have even more money to build with. In the end, you will have a beast and the pride that it gives you to tell others, "Yeah, I built it."

If you have to have a Cobra, or don't want to do that much work to go fast, wait until the '07 comes and people start selling Terminators cheap. The reason I say this is that per dollar spent, you will not get as much power, handling, braking, and ease of modification, even with the 5.0. Drop any given amount of money into a Terminator, and you will get more results than with any other 4.6 or 5.0. Not only that, but put a blower on a 5.0, and you might get 500 hp, but the engine (usually) won't live long. Put a blower (for far less $, since you don't have to plumb it in), and you can get 700 hp or more with better reliability. I know because this is not exactly the first Mustang I've owned, but it's faster than my 351 was, handles way better, stops way better, and that 351 would beat any stock Cobra in all those areas. Yet I can put it up to 500rwhp for less than $1500.

"Cobra owner at 19," you need to get some experience under your belt and build a couple [budget] street terrors so you will know what you're talking about.
