Thats a tough one...so wait you are gonna be turning 16? Insurance on either is gonna be sky high.

How many miles on the two cars?

The Cobra would be nice but thats a lot of power for someone turning 16.

+1 on the power of the cobra, those cars are no joke. I do approve of you getting a cobra, only if you promise to be a responsible teenager.

oh yeah, and insurence.....you better get some Lube. cause your gonna get shafted.

Even if he gets the GT he should get some lube too because I have a feeling for a 16 year old the insurance is not gonna be much less!

either one you need to be careful. I have always been fairly responsible with my cars but even I have had fun and done some things I shouldnt have.

GT or Cobra it is still gonna be a lot of power. I'm definitely not saying don't get one because I got my 02 GT when I was 17. But Just be careful. I have seen my idiot friends get ahold of a GT and beat the living hell out of them. I have seen a few totalled too because of this. Some were an accident, but still. You need to be really responsible.

Sounds like you have a pretty level head so I think you will be ok with the cobra. Good luck on the search!! Keep us posted.

i think i would get a GT because of the newer body style...everything on the car will be newer as well, therefore it will be a better DD


where abouts in canada are you??

im from vancouver BC and ill definatly keep you guys posted. how reliable are the cobra's compared to the GT's?

IMO reliability is directly related to how well the car is taken care of. Almost 112k on my 2000 GT and it runs great. I love my car and take good care of it. Treat it well and you should be good. Trick is to find something that has been cared for BEFORE you buy it. Low miles are a plus.

Both are very reliable, but like dragstr05 said it depends on how its been cared for.

i would go with the cobra, im only sixteen years old too my insurace is not not bad for my car, only about 100 bucks a month

98 cobra HANDS DOWN!!!! the 2000 GT is a SLIGHTLY newer car & all, & its a newer bodystyle, but theres not many late model stangs sexier than a clean 96-98 Cobra....(except for 03-04 Machs & Cobra's )...

+ u dont see 98 Cobra's very often, but 99-04 GT's are everywhere.....& 32V is always gonna be a better platform IMO....

there is a white 97 cobra down here around new orleans for bout 8500- 9000. only 24000 on the clock but need like 300- 400 in paint new tires and idler pulley. tires are dry rotted. if need to no more pm me

98 cobra is a good car.

4v>2v

cobra..

Be responsible with it. But yeah, a nice low milage 98 cobra is the way to go.
