2003/2004 cobra or 2012 5.0

[Steve]

I sold my 26k miles 03 cobra kennebell 620h.p for a 2011 GT

The 11' is 100% better car hands down. If steves car is so badass why cant he sell it 03 cobra's are dated.

Without a doubt, the 11/12's are better all around car than a 14 year old SN95, duh, it's a new car! The new cars are very, very nice cars and run very well. They still aren't as much fun to drive seat of the pants wise as a Terminator will be and you know it.

All I was saying is that I haven't come across one yet that is anywhere near as fast yet. I know there is a few out there, but bang for the buck wise the 03/04's are still more fun to drive and cheaper.

I could have sold my car long ago had I wanted to accept some lowball deals. I will be finishing the AC soon and it will sell quickly. It would have been done already if Stephen didn't live on the other side of the planet from me over 90 minutes away! lol.

I have yet to come across a '12 GT that even remotely hangs with my Cobra. lol.

What kind of numbers does that car of yours put down at the track?

Don't know, I've never had it to the track. The previous owner went 7.5's with the stock blower and 100 less hp than it has now.

The cobra will always have a better resale(terminator) that is. Steve has a nice car just anymore you can buy a cheap terminator. I like the car, If it was 10k I'd buy it haha

It's true, for 15k you can get a cheap, stock Terminator with 100k miles on it.

My motor has 50k miles on it, trans 24k, brand new clutch and lots of new mods for only $12k or give me a trade worth my price that I can go trade in at a dealership for a truck I need.

Ive owned both. I would get a Vette.

[ELVIS]

id get the 2012. in fact i am considering it.

god bless.

If you're planning on it being a daily driver, I wouldn't consider an 8yr old, abused car for that.

If you want one to be fast, I think the Cobra has a bit of an edge.

As for resale, ask any Terminator owner what happened to their cars' value when the new 5.0 came out. Steve? lmao.

My 2012 GT 5.0 auto, smoked a 03 Cobra, stock to stock, he did start reeling me at about 125mph. Those IRS's are not for drag racing without some heavy mods.
Manny's car is an auto and he ran 11.7@120ish with a BOSS Intake, CAI, non-catted H-pipe, cat back, stickies and a tune.
Not sure you can get a 03/04 Cobra to do that unless you bolt-on a KB blower and they run about 6k without install.

My 03 ran a 11.56@121 with a pulley, high flow catted x pipe, intake, and tune. I did have big/littles with 275 drag radials, but the car was lowered on suspension not ideal for drag racing.

I really don't think it is even close. A friends 03 has ran a best of 12.17 with a cat back and drag radials only, but runs consistent 12.40's.

This is a fantastic idea.

my wifes car 2011 GT with gears, intake, headers, and drag radials ran 11.68 @ 119mph. Bone stock with a tune on factory rubber ran 12.44 @ 112.2. IMO the 2011 is the hands down the best

I had the same debate with myself a year ago with an '11 GT, I bought an '03 Cobra because I got a pretty good deal. If not for that I would go with a new GT, you can get one in the upper $20k's, put a Procharger on it, not worry about the rear end and have a bad ass street/strip toy.

[gip99gt]

I'd get the GT...

[spd2stang]

i have an 11 GT best time to date is in my sig on O/R X, Catback and intake and a canned e tune. Cars a 6M, im sure tires and a little work on my driver mod could change that.

Never driven a cobra
