What would you rather have, a 03/04 Cobra, or a 2007 Shelby GT500.
I think I would rather have a 03/04 Cobra. |

I would take the Shelby for the better platform and after the obligatory bolt on's, do some big time cosmetic stuff, since they don't look that great.
Oh and some weight reduction that wont be visually noticed.

03/04. As I have stated many times...I am very disappointed in the SUV offering that is called the Shelby. The only good part about it is the engine...beyond that...boring.
NYC Version...I go Shelby all the way. Current version...puke.

03/04.
Retro is gay(save for when companies do it right, aka Challenger). the GT500 isnt even a GT500, its just a "rebadged by Shelby" 07 SVT Cobra. the only reason shelby is in on it is cause 1) ford wanted him to make every one look like eleanor, and 2) ford thinks using shelby because its a retro stang will get more sales.
anyone who wants a GT500 to use it for what it was designed for will never get one, or will have to settle for abused hand me downs. only first owners will be those that, just like the original shelby gt500's, use them once a weekend once a month and got them just so 40 years from now they can sell em for 200k on Barret/Jackson. im sorry, cars are meant to be driven(unless its a DSM or my Mustang, in which case its broken or back in the paint booth)
get the 03/04 and do some boltons and learn to drive well, and you can go GT500 hunting and make all the old geezers cry when they wasted 80k on a car that can get decimated by a 25k one.

Preach on brotha....
And definitely +1 on the last part...I very much look forward to my first encounter with a "more money than brains" first owner thinking they own the road now.

I think the Shelby should be called simply, The `07 Cobra from now on.

nah i think thats defacing the cobra name. if SVT did the exterior/trim, itd look light years better than a slightly modified GT front, some small skirts, a racing stripe and some boring wheels that look just like the ones off a SRT4.

id take rob's 03 cobra over any 07 shelby.
rob, post a vid of your 1/4 mile, put shelby badges on your car, then 2 racing stripes and sell it saying it was the concept.... i guarantee you someone on ebay will buy it. sell it for the price of a gt500.
its rediculous........there was so much hype, then you see this guy blow a "legend" down 6 feet under. There is nothing special about that car... whoopty doo, leather interior or leather dash. how many times you sit there and caress your dash? never. Shit, you can buy a turbo'd powerstroke f250... and blow a gt500 away...
Ford should have just tried to make an ubar excursion for that matter...
sickening.... just plain sickening. Eleanor is more of a twat than i thought.

Who cares what the thing's callled... when you have a car with 500hp from the factory, thats what people like. Its not just the fact that Shelby GT500 is on it, that just makes it more expensive. 500hp is 500hp, whether its called a cobra, shelby, little princess, or tornado... its still going to sell.
Ill take the shelby

Depends on what I'm going to do with it. If I'm planning on throwing parts at it and turning it into a drag car, give me the '03-'04 Cobra. If I'm looking for a powerful, good-looking daily or weekend driver that will see limited/no track time, I'd pick up the Shelby.

Not to mention you act like these things are giong to be made in very limited production. Ford made over 20k Terminators... I dont think those things will ever be a "rare" car in anyones eye. The shelby's most likely going to be the same way. You people that keep throwing the fact that its going to cost so much forget the basic economics of things. Supply and Demand. When theres a short supply, and high demand, obviously theres going to be people that arent going to care about the price, because they want their car now and their time value of money is the fact that they'll pay 20-30k over sticker to have the car NOW rather than waiting a year and getting it at sticker price. Its not as if EVERYONE that wants a gt500 is going to go pay 60k+ for one. Theres the few that can, and will... it seems like you haters of the gt500 think its going to sell for 60k+ for the rest of its existance. Well, its not, and then someone in their $40k dollar car with 500hp from the factory and 2k worth of mods making over 750hp can have what they've wanted... A badass car at an affordable price.
Quit comparing "terminator this, terminator that"... seems as if terminator owners got their panties in a wad because now they're not the "Top dog" of factory mustangs. I havnt seen ONE terminator owner on this site that went out and snatched up their car right as they were coming out.. hell, 2007 models are coming out and you guys just picked up your '03's... see a trend here?
