GT VS. COBRA
I'm looking to get another convertible mustang. My biggest problem is could
I be happy with a Gt after owning a Cobra. I test drove a "03 Gt and was suprised when I stepped on the gas but not in a good way, it was rather dissappointing. I think I'm stuck in a Cobra lol. Now the GT has it's good points, regular gas, good looks, better gas mileage, I can afford a newer one, I don't really have to go that fast, and I just want to cruise with the top down and have some fun, but a Cobra is a Cobra and I loved mine, nuff said. I think I'll just sit here and go crazy thinking about it. excobra boy 97 convert deceased |

A buddy of mine just bought a 2001 SVT Cobra... black ragtop, black
exterior, but I don't know the interior paint (maybe triple black Cobra??). It's pretty quick. He installed some stainless steel Flowmaster 40 series mufflers.. sounds HOT. I can keep up with him until about middle of my 3rd gear... then he starts really leaving me . It's a beautiful car... and I can see where you wouldn't wanna go back to a N/A GT after owning a Cobra (even though it was N/A)--b/c right.. a Cobra is a Cobra... nuff said . Good luck w/ the decision........ get a cobra... get a cobra... get a cobra... ok my subliminal messages suck.. but get a cobra. :x. -Mike -- A happy kid behind the wheel of a 98 Mustang GT Cold air intake FRPP 3.73 gears Steeda Tri-Ax Shifter Full Boar turbo mufflers Hi-speed fan switch 255/60R-15 rear tires Subframe connectors "cobra boy" > wrote in message news:mi9pd.8240$8o.2705@trndny08... > I'm looking to get another convertible mustang.

Let's pretend you are buying a pair of shoes...... You walk past us wearing
the first pair and do a little pirouette.... maybe even a bit of a ho-down. A couple of minutes later, you parade out in a different pair of shoes and repeat the process...... Afterwards, you come back (in your old, smelly sneakers) and ask us which shoes felt good........ The only reason a Big Mac tastes good is because somebody told you it tastes good. Sorry, chum.... you're going to have to make a decision. Ain't nobody else going to give it to you the way you can give it to yourself..... of course, you are waiting for the "get the Cobra" answers so you can divorce yourself from all blame....

If you get a GT and you have some problem, you'll blame yourself. If you get a Cobra and you have some problem, you'll blame Ford.

I still get people commenting on my Cobra. On the road I get people sticking their thumbs up to me. Yesterday while washing the car I even had someone stop by and ask me if it was for sale. NOPE.

Install a steeda triax (about 200 bucks, easily to install yourself) and a gasket to prevent the noise (6 to 12 bucks) Best thing to do, trust me. The stock shifter just doesn't belong in this car.
