What to do?

I have had my automatic 01 GT for a little over 2 years now. It’s been a great car but I love the idea of a 4v and the potential they have. I’ve been looking at 96-98 cobras (I found a few with low miles for around 10-$13k), 01 cobras (found a few with low miles for around 13-$17k). My issue is I could probably sell my car for around 11k (I have just over 60,000 miles on her) and If I could buy a cobra for 10-12k I relay don't lose anything and I gain a great motor and hp over what I have. I was planning on getting cams, dyno tune, wheels rims and a few other mods this spring for my car (probably around $3,000 in mods). When all said and done I might be putting out what a stock 96-01 cobra puts out. What would you guys do? Should I keep my car and mod or stop now and get a cobra in the spring?

Cobras are just fun cars. I say get one If you get a 96 keep the stock cams, they make more power than any other cam on a N/A 4 valve. How low are the miles at thoes prices, most 96-98 I see go for 7-9K. I got mine in July for $6000 and I would not trade her for anything

The 97 cobra has 39k on it and its selling for 12k (could probably get him down to 10k). I will see what happens in the spring. I just think of it as this, I sell my car, the cobra will put down more power stock as my car makes right now. With the 3k for the cams, rims, wheels and other things I was going to do in the spring that would put me about equal with the performance of a cobra. I could put that 3k towards an 01 cobra or maybe even a used 05GT.
