Obviously I am biased on this one, but I don't understand the dilemma. If you have a set amount to spend and want to get all the performance add-ons you can for the money a GT + Blower + all the obligatory bolt ons... makes alot of sense, but staying mild with mods the Cobra has got to be the choice if you can spend that much. 320 vs. 265hp! It takes a few mods to gain 55hp. Not to mention, my seats are NICE, the polished wheels are cool (wish they were 18s though, but I'm not crying) and bonus style points too.
As far as the 2001 vs. 2002: 0% for 60 months will save me a few thousand dollars so now was the time to act, but if you need to wait then 2002 would be the way to go I don't expect dealers to give away 2001 Cobras below invoice or anything. There is a dealership in town putting a $5000 up sticker on Cobras
I bought mine a few miles down the road for more than a thousand below sticker and got the 0%! I AM STOKED! Either way you go I know you'll be happy with your decision, good luck.
Oh yeah, if your leaning toward GT then a Bullitt is cool or Mach 1 definately if it is made (unless you want a vert) Roush, Steeda... are also good options.
