My father is looking for a Cobra or a supercharged Gt,and we would like your opinion on which one is better.

 

He might like to consider the '04 instead. Remember the '03 had some quality issues. If the GT is a preference, a Roush or Steeda might be the way to go since the mods are done by professionals. BTW, there are still a few "new" Cobras and Roush available @ substancial savings. You just have to do some research.

 

It depends...if there has been substancial work on the engine(forged internals) of the GT then it would be ok. If not hen you are just asking for trouble, like a blown engine. The Cobra is definitely the way to go. I have read about big boost put on those cars with no problems. But some people swear that a low boost on a GT is Okay. I say better safe than sorry. I actually saw an '04 Cobra with a KB sc on it for $27k in the Recycler. Go with the forged internals and IRS. My 2 cents.

 

This was my answer...

 

Get the Cobra....10th anniversary...its way cool

 

04 cobra

 

Thanks guys I think we are gonna start looking as soon as we find a buyer for the s-10.

 

so which are u looking for?

 

My dad says that hes gotta have the Shelby Gt 500.I think that we have both agreed to go in half on the car and it can be our "project car".It looks like when we can we are going to order an 08.We had a buyer for the s-10 but he backed out.I think we are going to take it to some Friday night cruises and try to sell it again or we might just trade it in on the 08.

 

04 Cobra would be my vote.

 

Oh kool, My uncle is buying or planning on buying a new Shelby too.

 

i would take the GT just to make doug mad!! i kno a guy that has already put his deposit down on the new shelby.

 

I also vote for the Cobra. It was built to handle the SC. The other thing to consider is that if you decide to sell it down the road the name alone will make it more recognizable and therefore more salable than a supercharged GT which might scare off a lot of potential buyers.

 

Definitely Cobra, the motor has all the forged goodies and you can squeeze out 500HP without much effort.

 

i say SC GT because it doesn't have the rear independent suspention but i like the 32 valve DOHC motor in the cobra more so the best bet is a 2003 SC mach1 which would have the cobra motor and the solid axle i believe....(may be wrong)

 

Cobra, just because it was designed to be SC'd, and there is more kudos with it!

 

Cobra....nothing like 390hp (under-rated) with a factory warranty and all the other goodies....
