I had to vote Cobra just for the fact it that you can get it in drop top. If I am going to spend that much money on a car, I want to be able to enjoy it as well as drive it.

I'd still go with the gt500.

Y'know I'm still trying to figure out why folks are picking the Boss over the Shelby Cobra

Desi

...can we seperate Shelby from Cobra?..If not I'll vote Boss, otherwise SVT Cobra > Shelby GT$$$

bob

In terms of performance, hardly. The termi was having trouble with the introduction of the 2007 GT500 (last test I saw showed parity in a drag race, but on the road course the GT500 had it handily beat) as of 2010 and 2011 its no contest, the newer cars blow the termi into the weeds leaving only the terminators price/performance ratio being better (one of the advantages of building off a chassis that been around since 1979).

I am sure a few years of R&D had something to do with it. I am sure people would be pretty pissed if the gt500 was worse then a termi.

bob

I'll leave well enough alone, but a general theme emerges with termi fans (give it a bit and somebody will be here to trot it out).

Desi

Eh, not really a termi fan, just prefer SVT over Shelby, which are still the manufactuer of the engines. Peel his name off the back, call it a Cobra & be done with it.

Honestly, stock Mustangs are awesome. Roush, Saleen, Shelby, all the better. GT500 is the front runner, with the Roush Stage 3 running along side it. Full respect for the GT500. The Boss? It is 2Xs and regular Gt, but it is not a GT500.

By the way, I would still love to buy your SGT in a heartbeat, but I haven't had a raise in 3 years. Meanwhile, in that time period, one of the owners gets a F430 Spider (2009, in addition to his 2005 F360 Spider, Ford GT, and 365 GTB4), another gets a Z4M Coupe, and another one shows up today with a convertible Maserati he bought this weekend. No, it's not wealth envy, it is just one of those things that makes you go HMMmmmm...time to look for a better company, or start my own.

Valcad this is a pretty heavy list of cars. Nothing wrong with wanting more I suffer from this daily.

Strictly speaking, except for the Chrysler and stillborn Series 1 stuff, The bulk of Shelby's cars have been "Powered By Ford" - I actually feel that the Cobra name is inappropriate for a Mustang since the original Cobras were pure sports cars. I'd much rather see Ford apply the moniker to an actual honest-to-god sports car rather than a sports sedan like the Mustang.

The Boss 302 is my favorite out of those three

Anyone remember that Top Gear test where Roush killed Shelby GT500 on the track? Sure, that was a 2007-2009 model, but still ...

Cobra would be my choice. Until 2011 GT came out, in my optinion 2003-2004 Cobra was best overall modern Mustang built for the price.

I second that and the body style is my favorite

2011GB/CS

I voted the GT500, cause you can get more goodies on it, like HID's and Nav, and the SVT package will handle almost as well as the Boss.

1 COBRA

Both are in the 1G range, less weight for the Boss, more power on the '11 GT500, head to head should be pretty close performance wise. Except there are no news for the '12 GT500 and there might be a surprise.

Onelildude

I gotta go with the GT500.... although the Boss will have more potential because of less weight and soon to come SC/Turbo options but i just like the GT500 better(colors and the 5.4)

08SGT1977

I agree, if were talking the roadster, Cobra. Love the GT500 Cobra Mustang and the new Boss but the poll makes me think roadster.
