Tuff choice...I know which route I took. Even after I bought the 05 I was always thinkin if I made the right choice. Then I raced a cobra with the mods in my sig. He got me by ~2 cars in the ~1/4. He didn't even pull me till 3rd gear,and started pulling hard. Now I'm happy with my 05,figured I would have been handed my arse alot worse. The guy in the cobra thought I had n20. I know the cobra could be modded to totaly rape my car. But this car is my daily,and I will hunt down cobras in my built 5.0 soon,so I'm not worried. And if I ever go the procharger route,which I may. Cobras don't have poop on that as long as we are talkin mild cars.

Subframe connectors and a strut tower brace would help, but the new chasis has been said to have been as rigid as the older platform with those mods. Not that it would matter too much since you would already have a beast of a car and wouldn't have to do many power mods right away unless you really wanted to, so you could do some suspension stuff.

If you have found a Cobra for 24k noxious_mustang then I say go for it. Like I said before it is completely up to what you are looking for. If you are looking for the more refined ride of the S197 and want to look good while doing it then get the '06. If you want a complete beast of a car performance wise then get the Cobra. I believe you said that you liked the way the Cobras looked, so I wouldn't even use that as a deciding factor. I know that I would have picked up a Cobra in a heartbeat if I liked the older body style.

Lock it up, the idiots are out.

Nick85, we will leave our motors in our cars, I will let you mod to match me, then we will go ten horses at a time untill one of us blows a rod. That is if you don't blow getting to my numbers.

KB says 475rwhp in an 05 GT is death without a complete bottom end upgrade. 03 Cobra he is saying 600rwhp. If hp is your bag, there is only one choice.

05 is a great car, would not trade my Cobra for one however.
