    06 GT or 03 Cobra convertible

    Most likely the dealer would take ~25K for the Cobra......... Forged internals, 500 easy rwhp, SVT vehicle, T56, etc......... Go with the Cobra, but hey what do I know ;)

    Stripes! (Pics)

    You know some cars just don't look right WITHOUT stripes and the 05 mustang is one of them, GREAT job completing what Ford should have finished :nice:

    Stick vs. Auto (not that again!)

    I would offer that various technologies as it relates to transmissions/clutches/shifting systems etc, all have there place. A good example you gave was the "paddle shift" in F1 or the auto/auto clutch in drag racing. My original response (sister kissing ;)), has more to do with the overall...

    Stick vs. Auto (not that again!)

    agreed! an auto in a true performance car is like kissing your sister......... just ain't right or the same ;)

    I think I'm crazy...

    I for one am GLAD to see your attitude! Maintaining a healthy respect for a V8 performance car (or even actually ANY car), is a VERY GOOD thing to do. Its the younger folks that brag about how well the drive or how for them it's no problem "handling" the power that I worry. Keep the cautious...

    MUSTANG GT takes on a CORVETTE!

    LOL :rlaugh: You have talent! Good write up........... For the record, I love all performance oriented cars. I just "try" to recognize the relative "rankings" in a non-passionate fashion. I would never "kick a brother" on purpose. To me there can be honor in defeat, it's simply a...

    MUSTANG GT takes on a CORVETTE!

    ANYTHING can be fast and there is always a cheaper route.......... try this: late model econobox owner says "Put the extra 20k into my pocket and I dont care what the 05 Mustang will do to me!!!" Give the vette some love they are fantastic cars (so is the 05 Mustang just at a different...

    MUSTANG GT takes on a CORVETTE!

    IMO its ridiculous to compare a Mustang GT to a Corvette, different class AND type of car......... The newer vettes will walk a mustang in highway rolls with EXTREME predjudice

    06 gt or 03-04 cobra??

    Obviouls I am somewhat predjudice........... but, I would go with the Cobra for equal money. SVT limited production vehicle. Hand built engine with forged internals. IRS handles great. Most stock Cobra's dyno around 380 at the wheels. VERY easy to get over 450 rwhp out of (less than...

    2003 Cobra's Valued higher than 2005 GT..

    With all due respect I don't think to many Cobra owners would be intrested in trading down to a GT, next years Cobra ...... maybe

    SRT-4 can wax a '05 Mustang GT?

    Of course you can...... I have several friends pushing 500 rwhp in their cars and they are also pushing 50K on the odometer. Put 4K into the 05 Mustang and you won't be killing this variety SRT4 (your gonna need more like 10K) BTW: the 500 hp SRT4 is a force, even my pullied Cobra has a VERY...
