06 GT or 04 Termi...You decide?

[shady-ooc]

Having 600hp is a lot of fun

 

[Ghostly Echo]

I would say save money and buy a gt500

 

[The Bone]

a 14k cobra, with work, for cheaper then your 06.....

get the termi

 

[White_02_GT]

I love the new edge look over the 06. I rlly like the cobra's interior and they are also rarer then ur 06. Quick question will the cobra be ur DD if so i wouldnt buy it and just keep ur current car

​

 

[SgtMike]

idk, I think 600+hp is pretty fun myself

 

[FrostByte]

The Cobra is one of the best factory performance packages that Ford really got right. Its pretty dam nice right out of the box stock, let alone modded for 615 hp IMHO.

The next closest would be a new Boss 5.0 :droolr GT500. I wish you could buy a Ford GT500 that isnt "Shelby-ized".

No, it wont be a daily driver...these are barely even sunday drivers.

Im still so hung up on what to do here, everything says cobra...but its hard to look away from my 06.

Put a Vortech on your car and build some boost and enjoy it. I don't think Cobra's are as great as everyone makes them out to be. Don't get me wrong they were excellent cars and still are but to me the S197 is a better platform. Just my opinions on the matter.

I thought about that or a paxton, but thought a saleen supershaker would be more funtional considering i have the shaker already. I just cant justify putting the money in to it and resale staying so low. I was appraised for 15,000 tonight....which is pathetic.

 

[FrostByte]

Termies will continue to hold their value.

 

[Svtr1gger]

I think the cobra is gonna be the decision, now selling mine is the task at hand.

I like the Saleen system a lot, I know someone who uses it and makes over 700RWHP with it. The only drawback with it that I know of is that the IAT's reach around 190 but that wasn't on the supershaker, just the regular saleen s/c. One reason that a 615HP Cobra can sell for so much is because it is in an Enthusiast market. I will give you some examples:

05 stroked KB Mustang selling for $28.5k
05 with a procharger 19.5
06 GT with a full Steeda kit 28k
09 GT with a KB selling for 22k but needs it gone ASAP which is why he selling it for so little


Your car with a supershaker on it, selling in the Mustang community would net you more than 15k. In the end it is up to you on what you want to do, either way I think you will be happy with your choice

 

[Ghostly Echo]

Cobra's are nice and all but they dont hold there value since i joined this website i have seen cobra drop from 25k to 15k in two years.

All honesty if you want a fast car I would get a gt500 save your money and you can get one your going to have to make payments but its a better deal.

 

[Unrealford]

Save and buy the Boss, Im not sure about the Shelby but Insurance is cheaper on my Boss then my wifes 2010 Mustang V6 Convert she had.

 

[sal jc]

can i vote for a '04 Mach 1???

Save and buy the Boss,

^ this
if it's a DD you might not be happy going from an s197 to an sn95

 

[redlawyers]

The SVT Cobra is a superior machine for guts and glory; balls to the wall power and the fun factor. However, my vote is on the S197 for its better platform. IMHO

 

[onlycodered]

The New Edge SN95 will always look better than the first gen S197 in my opinion.

I doubt that... if you find a cobra for 15K it probably has a salvage title..

OP if you kept your mustang would you do the install or pay to have it done ??

 

[Svtr1gger]

I havent seen one any less than 19k, and that one had some mileage on it.

If I were to supercharge I would be having the work done at brenspeed. Its a long drive but I know they do great work..and will tune me well. I had thought about doing the install myself, but a tune around here is almost the same price as their installation.

 

[Mike96GT]

I am a huge fan of the 03/04 Cobra but I do think if you supercharged your 06 you would be happy you kept it. I wouldnt look at it as not being worth it bc of appraised value. You have low enough miles it's very reasonable to supercharge it and you get the best of both worlds. The look you love with awesome power and sound you are looking for.
