[QUOTE="AngrySnake, post: 1586077, member: 13760"] The GT's seem to just now be hitting lots, I drove one 2 nights ago at Dale Jarrett in Charlotte. Legend lime/black, 5spd, was loaded including the Shaker 1000 stereo. MSRP was $29,xxx. Great car, much more comfortable (especially for tall people like me), love the gauges, shifter placement, the seats, and of course the stereo. Ride was much softer than the 03 Cobra to me, almost seemed a little floaty. The shifter felt nice, but the clutch seemed a bit soft and spongy, and the tip-in is not anywhere as linear the 03 Cobras. There's power under the hood, but it's not going to plant you like an 03. I have a cat-back/CAI 03 Cobra vert, and SOTP on the 05 was nowhere near my car (as expected). The exhaust on that car sounds great though, I wish our 03s sounded that good from the factory. No rattles anywhere, compared to our cars the new ones are rock solid. A couple of other downsides: The E-brake handle is on the left side of the center console, and HUGE. I bumped into it every time I tried to get in the car, that would drive me nuts. Also, the interior seems pretty dark and bling-less if you're a passenger. Because of the gauge bezels, you can't see any of the instuments if you're riding shotgun (in other words, your date isn't going to be real impressed). All in all the positives outwiegh the negatives, but the experience isn't going to make me go unload my 03 by any means. I probably couldn't buy an 05 GT vert for what I paid for my 03 Cobra, and I'm not sure I would want to. Would I buy an 07 Cobra with 400+ HP? Hell yeah, if they get it right. We'll see :beer: [/QUOTE]
