Ive decided my next car will be a Cobra and i like the 01+ however im split on the fact that i dont know which one to get? I like the 01 because i could pay for one cash and have no payments and i would have money for mods but the drawback is that its much slower, or i could go for the "terminator" which would take care of the power issue but id probably have to finance $10k or so on one and wouldnt have much for repairs/mods.
Im really looking for something thats reliable,quick and somewhat newer(less than 10 years old) with lower miles, i put MAYBE 500 miles a month on my cars and most of that is grocery getting with the occasional messing around on a saturday night.
I have always owned fox bodies and have been somewhat leery of the modular engines due to reliability and cost of repair/replacement so out of the two which would be better? I heard the 01 romeo engines are weaker but ive also read about the "head tick" on the S/C cars, what about the trannys?? i do know the old t-5's were crap, are the 5-speed 3650 or 6speeds any better??
Any info/advice would be really appreciated
Thanks,
Rob.
