I looked at and drove a 2006 GT and 2001 Cobra over the weekend and I’m a little torn. The Cobra has 56K miles on it, was convertible (which is a small plus for me) and was in FLAWLESS condition with the only mods being sub frame connectors and strut tower beads. I don’t really care if one is a little faster than the other. The owner is asking $11,750, which is a little high, but hes open to negotiating. The one thing I really liked about the 06 GT is how solid the car felt, even though the Cobra had the subframe connectors and strut tower brace, the GT just felt like it had less flex to it

Hands down the 06 GT is the better car in most respects.

The '06 is worth it for the upgraded platform and interior, IMO. Power is pretty similar between the two anyway.
