Please help me decide on a '99 Cobra!

I'm not sure if this thread belongs in this forum, but it seems that this group could offer some informed opinions. (I applogize for the multiple posting of this thread.)

I am very seriously considering selling my '88GT for a '99 Cobra. There are some at very attractive prices now. I am getting a little tired of the buck-board, noisy uncomfortable ride that the '88 gives me. I'm getting to the point (age?) that I would like a daily ride with a bit more "refinement."

Any opinions of the '99 Cobra? Are they reliable cars? What of the infamous lack of power debacle? Can one verify if the car in question had the HP fix? Any nagging problems with these cars?

Thanks for any input. And my quite nice '88GT (new engine and paint, to name a few) will be for sale soon if anyone is interested.

Yes 99 cobras are nice. Suppost to be about 325 HP at the crank. Just make sure it was return for the intake manifold replacement. That was the caused of the performance problems I belived. I have a 99 Gt. Cobras was out of my price range at the time.
