Well I don't, its not like I plan on racing the car, and remember, the more hp, the worst the gas millage, and I go roughly 600 miles a week, I don't want to contribute too much to those overseas oil rich arib bastards. Hey I like making long post, I enjoy watching you suffer though them.
if your worried about gas and dopnt need the power why get a v8 just keep yours or get a newer v6 with a 5spd theres no point in you waisting your money on a v8 if gas is an issue and hp isnt

jt, get the GT...you can always get an sn95 later on and rebuild it. I think a new car is best right now for you.

I say get the new GT. Simply for one reason: You already have an SN95. I love my SN95, you love yours, they are great cars, but oyu already have one. Get something NEW. And, this is going to be new new, like brand new. Plus, the power you can get from the redone 281 is insane. If I had the cash, and I was in the same situation, I'd get the new Stang. Hell, if I could have gotten a bigger loan, I'd be driving an '05 V6 stang. Thats just me though. If you want a Cobra, and you LOVE the SN95, then go for it. SN95s are nice cars. Its a win-win situation, so choose what you want. Thats just my opinion though, get the newer Mustang.

No offence dude, but like I said earlier, I'm not a big fan of the 99-04s, now I do like the 02+ GTs and I love the Mach 1s, but outside of those two, I really don't like the year, now with a body kit they look awesome, but I already learned my lesson with those things. So now heres another question, get a new GT and mod out my six, and keep the GT basically stock, ya know, minus basic bolt ons. Get the Cobra and sell the six, WAY CHEAPER, or trade in the six for a new GT and after I graduate college, get another sn95 v6 manual and mod it, or maybe a GT, still unsure.

so get a mach 1, they have autos, 305 HP, same as the 97 cobra, and keep it long enough it may be worth some money in the future.

^ Good idea. The mach1 is just a gorgeous car-- you can't get much better than that, and you don't see one on every street corner like the new GTs. The cobra and the mach would make you a bit different, but it's up to you since it's your purchase.

I agree 100% on the Mach 1. I'd actually rather have one than an 03 Cobra... they've just grown on me. I love the shaker!
