1997 cobra or a 2001 GT

squeak93 · Dec 16, 2008

Cobra. Gt's are a dime a dozen still while Cobra's in good shape are becomming a bit rare.

SN95 Cobras are the sexiest mustangs ever made, dont even consider that GT. Get the Cobra, do some nice rims, slam it and add a Saleen S281 wing and you are golden.

If I was to do it again I would have gone with a 96-98 cobra back in 05 when I bought my 01 GT. That being said my GT will be much faster then 96-98,99,01 Cobras, Mach1s and 05-10 Stangs when I’m done with my spring mods.

I'm supposed to remain objective, but it's really hard to disagree with that statement. I've got a 1998 Cobra that I'm never going to let go of... turns heads everywhere and is arguably one of the best looking mustangs ever made.

AERO FTW!!! Get the cobra. It's just like the others said earlier. New edge mustangs are everywhere. Clean aero's not so much. Clean aero cobra's even more rare. But it's your money. Go with your gut.

Cobra.

Exhaust and gears will make that car more fun to drive than a full bolt on GT.

Killer exhaust note and just shy of 7k useable RPM's... if you go for the GT you are off your rocker.

4'vs respond better to mods, Cobra's have better brakes, and cool misc. details that set them apart from a normal GT.

Both the 2v and 4v 4.6 are very reliable motors. The Cobra's 4v's are hand assembeled by SVT with meticulous detail to quality, just as a cool fact.

If either one has been taken care of, reliability won't be a problem. Are they both stock, or do they have any modifications? If so, what are they? Mods suggest that the car was used like a muscle car, although plenty of people beat on stock cars aswell.

GT.a 99-04 gt makes close to the same rwhp as a 96-98 cobra. plus respond as well or better to mods.

True, the new edge GTs only make 45+ rwhp less

No they dont.

COBRA FTW especially since its a Aero.

Hey LaserSVT, I like you and everything, but will you please quit whoring your old aero cobra. It gives me a chubby every time i see it. 98 Cobra Laser Red, is probably one of my favorite cars!

As pointed out you had a factory freak. I did too. My 96 Cobra laid down 299.8 rwhp and the only mods it had was a Jet chip , Flowbastard cat back and 3.73 gears. Now that was high but only by 20 horses or so. My 2000 GT vert I had did 218 rwhp box stock with an AOD. I have only personally seen 2 other stock GTs run on a dyno and they did 219 and 238 rwhp. My old 97 Cobra the guy I sold it to said with a O/R x-pipe, intake, cat back and 3.55 gears it did 290 rwhp. So unless the Cobra makes huge gains with a cat back then you can see that there is a substancial hp difference. FORD rates them 45 horses apart and we all know that the 4v were a tad under rated

hell ****ing no. Its a Triquetra or as Christians call it, a Trinity. Its a Pagan symbol.
Triquetra - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have a tattoo of it on my spine in-between my shoulder blades. Its in-cased in a triangle with a tribal design.
