OK here's the deal. I have been offered a good bit for my car. enough for payoff and some change. I dont know if the guy really has it or is just BS'n me... but anyway. I have just put alot of money into it with the new engine/head/cams.. yada yada, but man I would love a terminator. Should I take the money and get a cobra.. or hold on to the Steeda and finish what I started?

How much is the offer, how much do you owe, how much did you just dump into it, and how bad do you want a cobra?

well I didnt wanna put the money numbers out there.. but lets just say the offer is enough to have a few thousand left over for a downpayment on the cobra. The main reason I am torn is all the work I just had done, and my wife just LOVES the Steeda. She is dead set against it lol.

If you are comfortable on taking the loss on your recent work you had done then I would go for it. Your wife will like the cobra even more. The smart move is probably to keep your car though.

yeah I know exactly what you're going through. The thing is, how many Steeda's do you see out on the road? Not like Terminators are really common, but they are definitely more prevalent than Steeda mustangs. With all the work you're putting into the car, it definitely would be the wrong decision to sell (in my opinion).

Isn't your engine already built (forged)? If so, then the only question should be how much are you going to spend/save in the long run. If it would be cheaper to supercharge your car, then why go with the Cobra? A stock Cobra will make less power then what you'd make with a supercharger.

I bought mine because the cost was comparable, maybe even less than: buying a new GT, paying to build the engine and transmission, and supercharging it. But since you've already spent alot of money... you shoud look at how much you're gonna spend from this point on.

cobra.. I don't care if the steeda is more rare, the terminator is BADASS... you get way more bang for your buck with the 03+ cobra

I would not hesitate to sell and get a cobra if I could, hell I think I could part with a kidney or even a family member to get one
