03 Cobra or 2011 5.0 or 07 Gt500
It's been almost a year since I'd traded in my 08 Bullitt for a 2012 Explorer that my wife drives, and now I get around in an 09 V6 Fusion. Anyways, I've been given the go ahead to get another mustang. I've always been a fan of the Terminator and can get one for around 20-22K. Then there's the new 5.0's. 2011/12 premium GT's with brembo's that are starting to pop up on autotrader for 27-29K. 07 GT500's are listing for 30k.
The new stang will be a daily driver and I've never driven the mentioned models. I'd like to say it will be my last mustang, but I've said that three other times.
What do you guys think?
Thanks.

I would go for the Termi or for the 5.0.
If you just want pure power and sound, go for the Cobra.
If you want a newer car, with great balance between looks, power, and driveability get the 5.0! It handles great.

Go for the GT500. I own a terminator. If it was just a fun car, I would have said terminator all day long. Daily driver I would go with the Shelby. Much more comfortable car to drive, newer, more power than the other choices. Get the Shelby and never look back. The terminator is one of my favorite stangs of all time but I would have sold it a long time ago if I had to drive it every day.

No, it's an o7 so it has that crappy interior. I say the 11 GT is the way to go.

If its a daily driver then the 11 GT is the way to go (imo). I liked my previous 04 Mach 1 and had my heart set on an 04 Cobra when I sold it, but after driving an 11' 5.0L there was no going back.. The 11+ is MUCH more comfortable to drive especially on 2+ hour trips, and the potential of that car is amazing.
