What new toy should I get?

LaserSVT · May 13, 2009

I have this in 5.9 Talk as well but want the 4.6 crowds opinin too

This is just a curiostity thing as these cars may not be avaliable in a month.
I am moving and selling my Cobra. I am in fine financial shape and will have my Mark VIII for DD duties. Since I will be living in AZ A/C is a must. I have set a budget of 10k max for a Mustang toy. I love foxes and am really the most comfertable in them but I also love aero Cobras and 4V engines are my most favorite engine.

So all things being equal, which would you choose? The Foxes are both around 7K and the red one is a one owner with 42,000 original miles and all the window stickers.
The Cobra is a hair more but damn is it clean!

And if you know Cobras you know these are the best engine builders in the plant

Deja vu!

Kewbra...

Just getting opinions from both sides.
I love the Cobra too but thoes Foxes are really clean and only 42K on that one is great!

Why are you selling the Cobra now???

Those GT's are super clean, although I am partial to LX's, & the Cobra is also clean, but I hate peanut butter guts....

The Red GT seems to be in great shape & its one owner, but the turbines GOTTA GO!!!! The gray GT looks better, & it already has HCI, but who knows how hard its been driven?

I am moving Epik. Ive had it with my family and am moving far away so they cant get to me. The Cobra needs to be sold cause I dont want to just up and leave for someplace I have never been without a good ammount of money in the bank On the same note I want to have a Stang so I am getting one

Thats understandable.... Well in that case, if the car is gonna be a DD, I would pick up the 97 Cobra. As you know, they are very reliable, get pretty good gas mileage, there comfy, & there pretty quick in stock form. The Foxes are just as reliable, but they don't make good DD's because you always have to worry about someone stealing them (at least out here in California you do)

EDIT=Nevermind, I just saw that the Mark 8 will be the DD, so in that case, I would go for the gray HCI 92 GT because that would have the most fun factor IMO....

Funny thing is everyone is working to get in the 03 cobra, well at least I am and your going the opposite way. I really love the aero cobras so I would definitely get that.

I say go with the red fox. On a side note hasnt your termi been wrecked more then once? How much do you expect to get for it?

The Termi has hit a curb but the dammage was minimal and its fixed. The car has never struck another car and is currently flawless. JNo gaps, no squeaks, no dents, no rust, no scratches, no tears, no chips etc etc and I expect to get what its listed for in my signature link.

Aero.

Hubbards took Adams place when they switched to C heads. For a B headed car Adams and McIntyre were the two. Really though, I hink it was McIntyre that had all the knowledge in building the engine perfectly

Buying a Dodge?

kyle_99gt · May 13, 2009

bakos24 · May 13, 2009

I choose the 92 The money that you will save from buying the cobra you can give to franky for first months rent.

BlownStangGT · May 13, 2009

I say keep looking for another fox......but the grey one is pretty nice. Heck...you could find a nice 93 cobra if you got 10k to spend

I have been looking at 93 Cobras and would love one but then I realized I will just mod the car and its a shame to molest such a rare car. Since I would change the suspension and H/C/I anyway then I lose all that makes it a CObra anyway.

"I will not ship to Nigeria and wont release the car untill the funds clear if paying by cashiers check or money order."
Wow that made my day. Good luck on the sale
