Hmmm, tough question. The new Cobra coming out is going to be pretty expensive, I've heard in the $40,000 - $45,000 range, but I could be wrong. If money isn't a factor I'd go with it. But if your limited I'd go with an 04.

i like the style of the 04 more than that retro shelby, 04 cobra looks more bad ass and a better deal. i agree with you.

If you can wait till the fall I know of a good 04 redfire snake you can get.

I say go for it. Hell of a lot more potential than the Gt and if parents are willing to hook you up. I would.

The Shelby will be vastly superior, if you can wait and are prepared to spend the 40K+ price. I agree, the 04 looks better, but its not built nearly as well.

Money could be an issue for you. If the new GT 500 stickers for around $40K, look for about a $5K mark-up so that is a nice piece of change for a college kid.(That's a lot for me and I'm 34 yrs. old) I think an 04' is the way to go.

the new cobras are going to be marked up in price for a while.. for that price range, I would also consider a C6.
