Hi guys! I hear a lot of stuff here on this really nice forum about how buying a Terminator is the way to go if you want the best out of a Mustang and I was wondering if it`s pretty much the same(price) to buy a nice GT and modifiy it until it is as fast as a Cobra or if it`s cheaper to buy a Termi in the first place?? I`m asking because I see that there`s a pretty good difference on the price tag between a GT and a Cobra...I was planning to buy a GT thinking that I`ll be just fine with that but everyone here seem`s to say that you get use to it pretty quickly and that you`ll eventually want more and modifiy it anyways...

Go with the Cobra if you can afford it. The GT's have potential no doubt, just look at some of the numbers some guys on here are putting out. The GT will be cheaper on insurance and probably cheaper to mod.

As far as if I can afford it, I guess I could but the price is simply double of a GT. Cobras go for about 30 grand(canadian but now it`s pretty much the same :D ) and a GT goes for about 15-19 so I`m wondering if it really worth it since I will use it as a daily driver and do not intend to race (street or track). Would you think I could be satisfied with a GT with a few bolt on or I`ll end up regreting anyway?? I`ve been waiting for so long, I don`t want to make a mistake.. :wink

buy the GT, take the money u save and do some slight mods to it.

4.10 gear swap
JLT
UDP
70mm T/B Accufab combo
mid pipe and cat-back exhuast
short throw shifter.

u may not be as fast as a cobra, but u won't be a slouch either

dont forget headers as well, if i were you, i would get a cobra. if you ever get bored of the speed just change the pulley and your gonna notice a big difference. plus they hardly go down in value...

I guess that could be an option also...they are quite rare also just like the Terminators...

DO that.......Mach 1 are so much better then GT's. From what u told me in the PM u sent, ur not looking for balls to the wall excitement. Buy the mach 1, and put a cat back exhaust on her, hi-flow cats or o/r pipe, and u'll have no worries dude

I still say mach haha;) The termies are nice and all, but the machs are more rare and prettier imo. If I only had $30k in cash, I'd go right out and buy one, but I like the machs better. I've just fallen in love with the mach, and can't wait to get one.

Yes, his mach is awesome looking! I really like the white ones, but since blue is my fave color, azure blue is mine:)
But yeah, the mach is a nice option for someone who doesn't want to pay high prices for a cobra:)
