I'm interested in a new 6-spd auto one eventually.

Any ideas how much power the 6-speed auto can handle if I do decide to mod it?

Likely if I get one, it'll be just full exhaust, tune, gears for a reliable daily driver/cruiser.

Would be funny to own both a Trans Am as the racecar and a sexy 2011 GT as my cruiser.

I'm excited about the 2011 as much as the next guy. But if I had an 03 Cobra from brand new, there would be no way in hell I would trade it in. My .02

to each is own. he might want a new challenge.

I have had the 03 cobra since new and have decided not to trade it in. A friend of mine was explaining the difference in the motors. The new GT motor is more high tech and lighter plus slightly larger displacement, variable valve timing and alum block but with cast components. He said the 03 cobra motor was stronger though with fordged components as well as the iron block, heavier though by about 60 lbs, was his estimate.
