I'm in the process of selling 1 of my gt's for something a little better, preferrably a cobra. I've narrowed my search down to these 3 cars. Some of you may know the owners of these cars.
Asking prices for all are within $2000 of each other. Which one would you want and how much do you think these are worth?
Criteria: Daily Driveablity, Fun Factor, Reliablity.
Need help with these tough choices.

Based on fun factor and daily drivability I would go with the second one. Turbo setups are often finnicky and somewhat temperamental. The Eaton blown 4V motor is awesome for a daily driven car, loads of power in every area of the RPM range.

Turbo car
That turbo car would be the funnest, not sure of power or who built it. I'd ask a lot of questions and get documentation on the turbo car. Not a big fan of the paint job on it. Plus, it seems this car has been the most modified and who knows...why are they selling this one? What's wrong with it? STock trans with that power is scary and a lot of extra work to install the built motor. Probably sell the motor for cash unless the current motor needs to go...
Yellow Cobra
Awesome, super clean and very low miles. Basically a brand new car. Great starting point and the yellow will get lots of looks.
Black Cobra
Best powertrain and a 6 speed a Mustang has ever had (at least an obtainable Mustang, since the GT500's are going to be rich boys toys) Best looking with those wheels, rear spoiler and black paint.
That's what I'd do if the prices were all the same.
On a side note, your green sn95 5.0 has about what I have. Cool to know the whp/wtq numbers.

The Black cobra is putting down 425rwhp on 9psi conservative tune
485 trq. The owner of the TT GT is well known on the svt forums and I think he's selling because he is looking for a Z06 vette.
My cars:
96gt 200rwhp 270rwtq
95gt 208 rwhp 275 rwtq

Dude, if that thing is making 485 ft-lbs of torque on 9psi and not tuned to the ragged edge, I'd snatch it up real quick. I don't know if you've ever driven a car with a positive displacement blower on it, but it's an absolute BLAST! Hell, if you don't buy that one I just might be in the market for another blown car soon.

Bluestreak, I made a typo. Those numbers are for the TT GT. I dont know the numbers for the black cobra the owner said it shoukd be over 400rwhp but never dyno'd it.
The yellow 98 appeals to me more because of the low mileage and how well it was taken care of. I could throw a 75/100 shot on it plus the 4.30's should give it alot of kick.
The black 99/04 cobra is a very strong 2nd but haven't there been issues with the 03/04 motors. I guess I'm worried the motor is going to pisss itself and I'm going to have to fork out more cash to get it fixed.
The TT GT. I've always wanted a turbo car. keep the boost down until the MMR900 shortblock is put in and a stronger tranny is bolted up and I should be good.

I would go with the supercharged CObra only because of driveability. I too agree witht he Turbo set up being finiky because it is all aftermarket where as the Blown Cobra is a proven factory set up that Ford was willign to warranty... plus the 6-speed.
IF it was a weekend/nice weather car I would go with the Turbo.

I would have to ask the owner about warranties since it was a swap and not an original factory 04 cobra motor that came in the car.
Also what about prices? how much show I offer for these cars. Black/Yellow, I leaning awat from the turbo car. To many what ifs involved.
