I don't see where all the hate comes from towards the GT 500 when so many people praise the 03/04 Cobras. The GT500 weighs maybe 2-300 lbs more than the cobra, but makes up for it with more power. You're still getting a bullet proof motor but with more displacement, I don't see the problem here, maybe I'm missing something? The price tag is a little higher on the GT500 than the Terminators but not by much. The mod potential is about the same as the terminators also I would think. Who cares how much the car weighs when you can make up for it with more power, it wasn't made for excellent handling, it was made to go fast in a straight line which it does very well (maybe not so much in stock form, but who keeps their car stock anyways?).

I think they do pretty well in the corners stock. They suck in a straight line. You can't make them damn things hook for ****. But yea when you get some good suspension pieces they can and will do both very well. Weight loss would help them even more. The engine is really nice it pulls hard when it finally gets hooked up. Tons of potential in those things but the initial cost kind of turns people off. Myself included.

Its all good man. We all start somewhere.
I think you'll get there. Of course knowing the cam specs would help me give you an honest opnion. If you go 351 you might as well get nasty and do a stroker.
