It's pretty, but why didn't you spring for the GT package? It's so worth it.

Because the gains the Cobra gives you aren't worth the price. The Price/value you get with the GT package is far superior to that of the Cobra package!

I didn't think the cobra was out yet for the NEW 'stang. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think I am.
By the way DAMN YOU, for making me want to go to the mountains. I need to study, and I haven't been to the mountains yet this year. Here in GA it is perfect camping weather, and I'm stuck here at school. POO on you. :nana:
Those pics are awesome by the way.

I was reading in a magazine that the v-6 new Mustang for the money was a good performer. They are going to uprage suspension to GT spec( well change sway bars if i remember correctly), uprade rear end to a limited slip or positive traction, change exhaust, and install a small supercharger( similar to ranger/explorer supercharger) , also the GT weighs more in the front end and they say the V6 has better weight distrabution due to the lighter v6 engine. They are saying you can get the same or better performance out of a v6 Mustang while not having to pay the higher price and insurance.
For me I would just like to have a new silver V6 Mustang with a 5 speed, torq thrust 17 inch wheels, dual exhaust, fog lights, and cold air intake of some sorts( more air and a little better sound)

I was reading in one of the mags (don't remember which one) that the V6 was nothing compared to the V8. Sure the V8 weighed a little more, but the substantial difference in power was well worth the added weight.

Stock vs stock there is no comparision. But with the mods they said the two cars would be a close to compare and even with the mods still be cheaper than the GT
