well as far as owning a cobra if you want to pay $50,000 or more go for it . if you were to build up a short block i.e bore and forged internals + s/c with 8-10 psi and fuel pump upgrade + some suspension parts you gt will be as powerful for far less. with the sale of the first 07shelby selling for over $600,000 id say your looking for a car you cant touch for under $60 grand and if you do get one why would you even want to drive it. when shelby dies that car will skyrocket in value. i say keep the gt and do what you want to it. the shelby is an investment. wheres the fun in driving that. now if i win the lotto then i will own one. hell if i could get one for $50 grand id own one ,store it . it will easily double in a couple of yrs. imho vynle.
