[QUOTE="Sick03Vert, post: 13298787, member: 127357"] If interior amenities mean ANYTHING to you, go S197. My ex-fiance had an S197 at the same time I had my last Terminator convertible. The inside was much roomier than my Cobra and the ride was smooth. It felt like it had a lot more power than it actually did. I debated getting an S197 when I was looking at this Cobra...actually went to look at an 07 GT that they had on the lot. The Cobra was right beside it and, even from 50 yards, I could tell the Cobra front end from the rest of the Mustangs sitting there. Once I got up to it and saw it was a Torch Red 10th, coupe, and had just 16k miles....it was over. The S197 I was looking at was cheaper by $6k, but had cloth seats, was an auto (nothing wrong with that), had 40k miles, and sitting next to the Cobra.....it was no contest. Honestly, it probably would have been no contest if the mileage had been the same. I did pay a premium for the Terminator name and all, but to me it was worth it as the two cars are night and day. So again, if you just want to swap up the interior some, then the S197 is a great car. But if all-out performance is your thing, it's the Terminator all the way. Honestly, I think in your situation I'd get the Cobra because even though the interior hasn't changed much, these cars DRIVE completely different. Plus, I'm not sure what mods you had on your old Cobra, but the GT may come off as underpowered to you. In the end, it's up to you and your budget. I struggled with spending $20k+ for a ten year old car myself, but I'm now glad I did as every Terminator I come across has upwards of 60k miles and still has an asking price of $20k or so. That bodes well for resale value in the future, which we all know the S197 will not have. Good luck! :beer: [/QUOTE]
