Now that's a Tuffy! The DOHC Cobra motor is awesome, but the 99-04 body style is newer and hands--down they ride better. I have had a 97 Cobra, I still have my 96 Cobra, and I have had a 00GT. The ride was way better in the 00GT, with the Cobra's being a little bit faster than the GT. I tell ya...that GT I had must have been a factory freak. IT was stock with an auto and I would rip a lot of cars with that thing.
