chivas1 Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 I'm looking to buy an 03-04 SVT Cobra or 07-08 GT500, what's your opinion on both cars and which is the better one to mod? Track wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kahmann Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 I'm looking to buy an 03-04 SVT Cobra or 07-08 GT500, what's your opinion on both cars and which is the better one to mod? Track wise. Without a doubt, I'd go with the GT500. The Cobras were a stout car for their day, but the aftermarket is just as big now for the Shelby as it was for the older SVT's. Head to head, modded to the 9's, the GT500 is the better car, track or street, hands down. Good luck Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ingram4868 Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 What is it that you want to do with the car? They are both very fast and both can be modded to go even faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedyman Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 The Terminator is a fantastic value at current prices but the GT500 is hands down the way to go if you are capable of covering the price difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chivas1 Posted May 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 That is an Awesome article!!!! But now it's more confusing, now another option to go with a Mustang GT. Obviously money is and always will be an issue. The newer cars will have something the older model didn't and you know how the story goes. Thanks for the input guys.

BanditSRT8 Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 GT500 pros: Way nicer clutch feel. You don't need legs like Carl Lewis to push it in Much nicer shifter. Better placement, not as freakin'odd looking, shorter throw Better seats More recognizeable by non-Mustang fanatics More legroom for front seat passengers More options (NAV, HIDs, etc) Nicer riding suspension, smoother ride Less interior noise Less road noise/wind noise Terminator Pros: MUCH lighter weight (which allows the lower powered car to nearly equal our performance) More low-key (almost a sleeper unless you really know the visual differences) Much cheaper prices (unfortunately, cheaper, godawful interior) Both are awesome, but the GT500 is the clear winner. If you can, at some point... own one of each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
