I'd say cobra all the way, the price difference is to great to compare both cars. you can pick up 03/04 cobra for 18-22k and you be lucky to find shelby's for under 46 or even higher brand new. If you were making the choice for the best bang for your buck, I would also look at corvettes. The shelby's price tags is close to the LS3 C6 and in some cases the even Z06 (KR). The LS3 C6 will be way more car for the same money as a shelby. But if you staying ford the terminator is THE best bang for you buck and if you put the difference in price into mods on the Cobra. NO shelby would even come close to beating you.

I agree with younggun. I was in the dealership this past Sat. and they had a GT 500 their. I sat in it and raised the hood and all. I like my 03 cobra better. The price of the GT 500 was 2500 dollars over sticker. Not to bad a deal. Get what you want or you won't be happy. LOL

Personally i love both gt500 and the 04 cobras, 8,000 miles on the 04 barely broken in and you can get some serious horsepower from them. As well as the gt500. My dream car was the 04 cobra but decided to stick with a 99 i would go for the 04 that is my opinion but if you really like the gt500 wait and see then go for it. Do what ever makes you happy in the long run

Get 2 03 Cobras, 1 for racing and one for a DD. Screw paying almost 50 grand on a car that almost beats the 03, 04. I like the style of the 04 better anyway

I would go with the Shelby. you can find them for msrp right now. i posted before that the dealer took off the market adjustment and i got it right at sticker. beleive me, dealers are wanting to move numbers right now.
good luck, i hope you get the shelby!
