Honestly I would go with the 11 GT. I love my cobra and it's an awesome car but you will probably appreciate the 11 more. The Cobra is much more expensive to mod and is already many years old. Unless you have specific plans for the cobra, 11 all the way.

Well the 5.0 is better overall. Better tech, ride quality, features, faster (i think) and look awesome. Dont get me wrong i live the cobra but the 11 will be a better deal

Dude the Terminator is awesome. Gonna cost you lots to get it where you want it. Unless you find one exactly like you want it. Don't jump on the 1st one. I shopped for a long time. There is a little more power potential in the Cobra but it's a different animal all together. The 11Gt is way more refined and can turn just as good numbers on the track just due to its geometry. But it's not as much of a thrill to drive. IMO. But it is newer and cheaper to mod and a lot more friendly to drive. A long road trip in my Cobra is torture. Not a DD. It's an animal but that 11Gt I could drive every day and enjoy it.

Even trade for a clean 03 terminator? Definitely if the cobra is clean and legit. Post some more pics of the cobra. If anything, the cobra is worth more, which sounds like a fishy deal to me. Something doesn't sound right. Cobra should be worth around $17-18k. Your car may only be worth about $11 high end. Doesn't sound right. If it is legit it's worth it. Would probably make the trade and then flip it for a profit.

Even swap or coming out of your pocket? Not sure if I caught that. And it does look clean. Any mods on the cobra?

Mods are not cheap at all if you plan on mods. Check out SVT performance for common problems and things you should consider before buying. Everything you need to know about the terminator is on SVT performance in the terminator section.
With that mileage, $17k would be my offer but $18900 is not terrible.

depends on how far you drive the car daily. The new cars are far more comfy for daily driving and trips.

Yep. Less trouble for one thing. Unless you just have to own a terminator. Always was my favorite mustang ever. So I had to own one. I love it but it would never be a daily driver. Just not that kind of car. 11GT is truly a great car. Would love to own both. It's your choice but you really can't go wrong with either.

I just picked up a 12 v6 and i used to have an 02 gt. i gotta say the new car is light years ahea of the 02. The ride a amazingly smooth, handles great, looks stunning the whole package. Cobras are my favortie mustang and i would love to have one but in your case i would choose the 5.0

I say 11 GT, a metric **** tonne more potential, better chassis and better engine overall. The only thing the terminator has going for it are better rods, pistons and a blower from the factory.

Wouldn't go that far. Stock motor won't hold 700hp or 20+lbs of boost. But it can make some good track numbers. Full mod for full mod, terminator will own the GT but the GT is still a fantastic car.
