Let me remind you of this, you may like one style over another and one may have better performance but if you like the S197 then I say go for it because you can't make a SN95 look like one. If you like the SN95 but like the stock performance of the S197 I say go for the SN95 because you can make the S197 fast as a Cobra but it will NEVER have the looks of the SN95 it will always be limited to the S197 looks. With the after market performance is almost unlimited but looks are not.

Keep it in mind.

That's definitely inaccurate. PMP Roadster Body Kit



I wouldn't do that. Lol.



Okay... Here's my advice. If you really think about it... You are better off getting a S197. With the 2010's coming out, prices on performance parts for the S197 are going to sink dramatically. Plus, a newer car will generally have less miles and have less chance of failure.

Within 100 miles of my area... Check out these GT's and prices!

Well they are more like 250 miles away lol. (my zip code is 88011) But yeah I will check them out. Thanks for the links (I was looking at one of them before). I mean, s197s look better imho, but it would be cool to "have a cobra" too. Too bad they never made a cobra s197 (besides the GT500). a $30k brand new s197 cobra with like 350HP would have been nice.
Do you think the prices will drop more as soon as the 2010 actually hits the streets? Or has all of that devaluing because it's not the newest model already happened?

Yes, prices will drop significantly within about 16 months; new parts will be out for the new 2010's. Prices on some things are already dropping a little.
