Trying to get a cobra

Last August (04) so not quite, but kind of, at the same time.

I like new cars, what can I say

In all honesty, with GT prices dropping like flies and Cobra insurance being too high, I think i'll keep the GT.

I bought my GT last aug with 27k miles, for $16k. Now im selling it for $15k with 34k miles a year later, and that price seems to high to people. So im not sacrifice selling it and buying an 01 cobra for 18-19k. Too much $$ to come up with. So i dunno...

The 2001 has two-tone interior leather that the 99 didn't have. And the 99 needed a "fix" (which is done on most 99s already) but its something that needs to be looked into. The 99's were only making like 305hp instead of the advertised 320, so they need to go back to Ford for a recal for a PC re-flash and different exhaust.

The 99 Cobra fix was not what you said...it was an intake manafold replacemet, the original didnt allow enough airflow resulting in a low HP motor...so much lower that if you took a 99 GT and a 99 Cobra off the showroom floor and raced head to head the GT would have won...the fix was to replace the Intake manafold and reflash the ECU.
