get the 05 gt for 26k and get a whipple $5k and have 500hp for less then you paid for your cobra
But then you'd have to worry about blowing up your engine. I vote for CObra.

Beat that, Charlie!

As much as I love the '05 GT, I had to vote for you to keep the Cobra.

Ben you obviously have to keep the Cobra man. You should never even considered trading it.

OK, let me modify the question a little bit. I have the opportunity to buy either an 03 Cobra vert with about 2k miles on it or a new 05 GT vert with manual transmission for about the same price.

Which would you get?

05 in a heartbeat. The styling is better and overall I feel it's a much better car. But then, I'm not a track guy so the extra hp of the Cobra doesn't mean much to me.

If I had an 03 Cobra though I sure wouldn't trade it in now. The depreciation will kill you.

With the vert, I think the new design loses much of any improvements it has. The coupe has the roofline, the vert doesn't. So when it comes to styling, a subjective measure, it's a draw in my book.

So let's take that out of the equation.

I would keep the Cobra. It's a 10th Anniversary and to me I like the looks of the Cobra better than the 05's. Sorry 05 owners. The 05's are more retro but the 99-04's are just plain mean looking

Thing is the new vert is going for around $31K. That's also what these low mileage Cobra verts are going for. Availability is a whole other question.

COBRA, more power, better looking, more comfortable, more feared on the streeets

As much as I love the '05, I voted to keep the Cobra. I've often wondered how nice it would be to have the '04 Cobra mill in the '05. I feel this would be the best of both worlds. You have the greatness of the '05 with the powerplant of an undisputed winner on the road.

I would love to make this swap.

i thought the same thing, but the terminator is SOOO much better looking then the 05 imo that i'd just keep a cobra instead of swapping powerplants into an 05

Dumb question. The 05 doesn't even compare. In Looks or performance.

IMO, 99-04s are the best looking. They look a poop-load more aggressive than the 05+. Don't get me wrong, the 05 is sweet as all heck, but I'm just more of a fan of the 99-04s. I just wish we had the 05's technology...
