CHECK THIS THREAD OUT :D
so i drove by a car lot today and noticed a 98 mustang cobra w/ 68k miles i was like wow thats a sweet car... well i went to take a closer look and noticed its priced @ 15K... i was like thats not to bad but its out of my price range... then the sales man came out and it turns out he knows my dad n he said he could knock it down to 11k... well i what should i do? what would b faster?... my turbo'd v6... or this cobra?... p.s. this cobra is in amazing shape!... the only thing that bothers me is it has had 3 or 4 owners... so idk if there is something wrong w/ it... well guys what do u think?... should i go after the cobra?
THIS PROBABLY DOESNT BELONG IN THIS SECTION.... SORRY (ok maybe im not sorry )

01 Cobra for 11,000 easy...a lot more potential...i need a SC just to beat my buddies bolt on 01 Cobra...but let him get on the bottle or forced induction and makes the V6 look slow as hell...4V is just better

kepp the v6 with all the mods you can be faster than that plus you'll save a load on insurance! a sleeper v6 that is as fast as a cobra would "wow" people more imo...i guess technically its a win win situation...but like h said, not necessarily that cobra...

i always see it as ... well ... smarter to fully rebuild a car that makes as much horsepower as a cobra then buy a cobra and not know what you expect...
v6 mustang -7k new engine -6k turbo -3k -------------- Cobra - 11k bolt ons - 2k fixing little broken things - 1k ..................... the v6 thats just as fast cost like 2 grand more but its all new and you know how its been beat on ... thats all im saying

you know it...
most of that price is a cushion for such needs... but yea i would take a Sixer and 5G over a Cobra any day man... not hating on them just saying that i would want to know how my performance car was/is beat on before i through a ton of power at it

To each is own.
fyi there are A LOT of hidden costs involved. shipping, tunning, install, ect.. it's going to cost more than you think. trust me. I've already been there.

i would recommend since this is your first car dont go for the cobra...get something a bit cheaper and drive it for a while so you can fix everything thatgoes wrong before you put money into mods and stuff...gt's have plenty of power and a v6 is great for boltons and what not....just remember the price of the car isnt the only thing you have to pay for when getting a car...
