While I'm not a fan of the GTO, the Camaro from 98-02 was a much better car, I wouldn't buy a SVT Cobra. The 390hp means nothing, horsepower isn't a measurement of speed. It's supercharged, not procharged. Let's see "390hp". The 98-02 Camaro had 325. The fastest bone stock Cobra went a 12.6. The fastest bone stock a LS1 Camaro went was 12.8. You're telling me Ford with "390hp" and a supercharger could only go two tenths of a second faster than a "325hp" Camaro that had no forced induction?. The LS2 GTO is a little slower than the LS1 Camaro. Fastest bone stock ran a 12.9. Of course these are all BEST conditions. Individual driver will be different of course, along with location and plenty of other factors. The Terminator is the only Mustang I'd ever be interested in buying, but as a collectors car. The price is going up too much and there are better cars for the performance/price than what the SVT Cobra gives you. *EDIT* Sorry, I didn't really include on why the GTO. The LSx series of engine is probably the best V8 built in history and by far the most popular to modify. The fastest street cars in the world are using some variant of the LSx. The T-56 manual transmission is one of the best manuals in history along with the 4l65e automatic being pretty damn good as well.
Those 03/04 Cobras are legit. Terminator engines, fantastic.
The 00/01 Cobras are just GTs basically
As for him, I lose the WS6 Birds if he can find a nice 00-02 one. That would be my choice over a GTO any day.
but depending on budget, Id still say a C5 or C6 if hes in the $12-$20k Range
Edit- didnt read ur entire post, you covered the Terminator lol. My bad.
