Not to bore you guys with my personal dilema's but I've been thinking a lot about getting rid of my 03 Cobra for the new GT500 when it comes out. (This may be the wrong forum for this but since it has to do with the GT500, I posted it here) The more I read about the new Shelby GT500 the more I want one, 3800lb curb weight or not. Even with the car being that heavy it's going to be one fast mother with 450hp which is most likely a conservative rating (more like 500hp). So now that I've decided that I am with out a doubt going to be purchasing one I have to decide what to do with my current cars (90 GT Vert and 03 Cobra). Yesterday I came up with this crazy idea that would allow me to get, not only the GT500 but a new 05 GT as well. (Not married + no kids = no bills :banana: ) My plan is to sell or trade the Cobra in on a new GT, which if I get the deal I want, would be paid for before the GT500 hits the dealers lots. When the GT500 finally does make it to the dealers lots I could then purchase it as the GT would be paid for and I would have no car payment at the time. I'd prob wait to get the GT500 until the fall to give some time for the initial hype and bugs to be worked out. My only concern is the insurance for three Mustangs!!! 
Probably have to dump the vert but I'd wait to see if I could afford it before I did that. :cryying: The GT would be my daily driver and the GT500 I'd take out on weekends. I've read some posts about guys with 05 GT's running 12.80's or better with very few mods. I'd most likely be moding the GT to get it into the 12's with a time in the 12.60 - 12.70 range as my goal. Sorry to bore you with all of this.
So, any one interested in a very low milage 03 Cobra??? Only mods are a cold air intake and a Preditor tune. Rest of the car is all stock, never been raced or at the strip. Total milage is 855 miles (told you I was insane). I've had the car at the dealer for the head tick and it doesn't have it. I've also had the rear suspension clunk fixed. The car is Redfire with a black interior and chrome wheels. I have the stock intake in the trunk. I'd prefer to deal with some one in the Delaware area but am open to other possibilities. Send me a message if your interested and we can discuss price.
