I might be put in a Terminator!

Horray!

Would be a good trade up but don't hop into something that you can't afford if the numbers aren't looking good for you.

Don't do it, man! Stay with the car you have and pay that bitch off in 3. Not having a car payment for 2 years is much more fun than 100 extra hp. Plus, you already know your car is reliable (hopefully), and you don't know a thing about that Cobra. Also, you can do better. My buddy got an '03 Cobra a couple years ago for $13k.

Haha winters will tell you to goto the dark side If you can swing a c5z then that would be awesome or an older c6base would be nice as well.

Prepare to get bullied on by Coyote owners though

I have a Base C5, and am very happy with it. It's paid off, and I have decided that it was the last time I'd make a payment on a car. From now on, I'll be paying cash. Let me tell you something about C5s, though.... there's a corvette tax on every part. Even if you're doing the work yourself, which is especially a pain in the ass if it has to do with the drivetrain, it's going to cost a lot more to maintain than your mustang will.

Long term project is a better idea. Frankly, the fact that you realize you're a little head over heels (impulsive) about the car is absolutely an indication that you shouldn't buy it. That, despite the way you may feel, is not a deal on that car. There will be others, and you shouldn't feel rushed to purchase the one you want. You'll also know if it's more than just an impulse if you give the decision more time. Matter of fact, pay the GT off in 3, and then enjoy the lack of a payment for a few months. I'd be amazed if you decided to get a cobra instead of not making a payment.

Fixt... Coyotes are not faster than C6 Corvettes in any performance comparison that I'm aware of.

FYI, if you are only concerned about the monthly payment amount, you're about to get screwed hard.

1) Worry about the price of the car, not the monthly payment.
2) Go through a credit union.

Just my two cents.
