how'd did you get that answer from that quote? and where did the porsche come from?JohnyD05 said:Hey I like the Bright yellow car. How did u get the older style wheels on the newer car? I guess i am partial to those wheels as that is what came on my car. I heard those porsches were one of the best handling cars of all time with a perfect 50/50 Weight distribution.DocG2828 said:and WTF is a Yo-Dude O/R pipe?

tomustang said:My suggestion is to buy the 03-04 Cobra, it's forged but it has a iron block, it's has better spring rates, bushings/front control arms and stiffer rear brace, a 6 speed with a blower already
well just the the bullitt kit isn't going to be better than the stock 03-04 setupJohnyD05 said:I know where you are coming from, but i have the bulllitt suspension in mine, and a full length subframes can be added pretty cheap. also i won't get crap for my car if i sell it now. And it has a solid rear, which i see as a positive and negative. For resale the cobra is def they way to go.
JohnyD05 said:I have a 99 GT and want more power, alot more. So i am trying to decide if i want to Put a KB on my car and then at some point I will have to do a forged bottom end. I would go with 9 PSI intercooled 1.7L. OR should I sell my car probably for around 9K if i can get that (its got about 70K on it) and Buy a 03/04 Cobra thats already making 390 HP and has a very Strong engine to start. I am not sure what i would be looking at for a price of the 03/04 Cobra. Plus the cobra has a 6 speed already. What is everyones input? what kind of money are 03/04 cobras fetching?
Also the 03/04 Cobras make less power then KB 2V and are a heavier car, but it would probably be more relaible.
Does anyone have any idea what kind of money it costs to Forge a 4.6 2v?

I bet it wouldn't. Factor in all of the parts necessary to put a GT on par or ahead of a Cobra in all aspects, then on top of that all of the cost for time and labor involved in bringing it all together and I'll bet a higher car payment and slightly higher insurance premium is still a lot cheaper in the long run. Most just don't notice it when building up their GT, because it’s done in small increments over a long period of time. I think most of us choose to go that route because for an obvious one, we don't have the kind of cake to lay down right away on the better car and two, we all get a bit of a sense of accomplishment when we build up our cars step by step, instead of buying it as a turn key package.02LaserRed2V said:But factor in car payment and added insurance, and you'll end up spending considerably more $$ than you would by building your GT.
