Default Cobra or F-150?

So in a few months I will be buying a new car or truck. I want to spend about 11k, 12k is prob. max.

So should I get a 2001 Cobra vert, add a style bar. Or coupe?

Option 2 would be a 2005 Mustang GT coupe.

For the Mustang/Cobra I'd either get red or black

Or a 2004/05 FX4 F150? I want a crew cab, add a 2" level, 3"bd lift and 35s.

The mustangs would have around 100k miles and the F150 would prob have around 140-155k. Links below

I would deft pay 13.5k for the one below. In 03 they added a blower which boosted it from 320hp to 390hp

Talk about completely different vehicles!


Also, that 03 Cobra has a salvage title which on a convertible tells me the frame was bent. Many cars never drive "right" after having frame damage, even if they are repaired, especially considering it's pullied and probably making 500+hp (pullied Cobras should dyno ~450rwhp).

If you wanna go fast get the mustang
If you wanna go offroad and haul stuff get the F-150
The decision is yours.

Get the truck if you're sticking with one ride. There aren't many places left to go fast, outside a local track.
