Should i trade my 04 mustang gt with 34k miles for a 03 mustang cobra????? The cobra is 18,459 or should i get the 2011 mustang gt, price is 23,000.

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.

With that mileage, $17k would be my offer but $18900 is not terrible.

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.
