Poll...Honest opinions please.

i'd say s/c built engine, trans and rearend. then your car will be better than a kewbra

Cobra is a nicer all around car (interior, etc.) and the 4V sounds amazing, but the GT's an underdog car that can be an all-out beast when it's built right and a sleeper at the same time. If i had the money to, I'd build a sick GT before i sold my car for a Cobra, even though the 03-04 cobra is my dream car

I'd keep the GT, unless you are very set on a Cobra.

I personally love the Cobra like many others around here do. Fact of the matter is, it would cost you THOUSANDS just to get the GT up to par with the Cobra, depending on what matters to you.

Here is my reasoning for keeping the GT. First, insurance. If you bought the car when you were 19, at best that puts you mid to late 20's and a Cobra is significantly more costly to insure. Second, cost on many grounds. You'll never get back for your GT what you put into it, NEVER. Assuming you sold the car for blue book value, add the cost of all your mods to the cost of the Cobra...is it still affordable? Remember that alot of these mods you may do all over again, some of them may even be more expensive. You will buy intake components, exhaust, wheels, (maybe gears), shifter, etc all over again.

Power is another important factor. A full bolt, blown GT with a built block, fuel system and driveline is one handfull of a car. It all starts to come down to what your setup is and how much power you want. You're going to start getting to the point where traction on the street is virtually non-existant in lower gears anyway; do you really need more?

All of this is really alot to consider. If your GT was stock, or near stock I'd say sell it and pick up a Cobra. But you need to think about how much you already have invested in your car and whether or not its worth it.

Imagine your car with the built shortblock and mongoose kit tuned by mph with a ton of other goodies verses an 03' cobra with some bolt ons, because both will cost about the same. The gt is going to crush it, hands down. Not only that, your insurance will be lower, you will have a sleeper, and you never had to get rid of your original car, which you will regret. Plus, you can just make your look like an 03' cobra. I would deffinately keep the gt unless you seriously plan on making a track car, like the post above said it comes to a point where the power just gets unreasonable on the street.

KEWBRA 4V FTMFW :SNSign:

Id just keep the GT and modd the hell out of it.
