What would you do?

Well if you put $10,000 into your 96 you won't get it out but you won't have any payments either. I prefer the 94 -98 body style over the New Edge but have a great respect for the 03/04 drive train and as you mentioned some financing and no mods for a year. If I was in your shoes I'd move up to a newer Cobra.
I would have it sold and be in a 03/04 Cobra in a heartbeat IMO.
One word TURBO.
A lot of people are going to tell you this. It's the smart thing to do. It's not the fun thing to do though...
If you are intent on spending the money on a car, I would go for the 03/04. It will keep you happier for longer. It might be a bit until you can really start mods but it will be more comfortable, more reliable, and better looking for years to come. You might dump that 10k into your current car and end up wanting the 03/04 shortly after anyway - and there goes 10k down the toilet.
That 10k will get you a faster car for now but the 03/04 will be the better choice come a year or two down the road.

happy hunting
Why do I have a feeling you're a wanna-be cool guy with a little penis? :shrug:
If you want it now, you'll probably still want it after putting the money in what you have. That's why it took me a year to actually get the car I have - I was very picky about color and options. It had to be a certain way, because I'm only doing this once. Until I graduate, that is.
My opinion.... which is worth very little to most people. LOL! is sell the 96, put that money down on an 03/04 and finance the rest. Then take your $10k that you have "socked away" and mod away!!!
Sure, it's not the most responsible thing to do but neither is doing 140 on a 55 mph highway.

Well as much as I am sick of people flocking to the flavor of the month 03/04 I think its the best deal over all..
Heres why.. My brother has a 98 KB Cobra that blew up this summer.. He rebuilt his motor to all forged ($7,000), upgraded to a Vortech T-trim blower ($6,000), and got some misc. power adders ($3,000)..
So now he has $16,000 into his car that 'should' make about 600 WHP when its done in about 2-3 weeks.. But, it doesn't stop there.. Now he has to look into upgrading his transmission which is gonna be about another $3,000..
So, sell your car.. Get an 03/04 and spend less than $1,000 to upgrade it to 450 WHP..
