If it were me, I'd get the '01. You'll have more of a warranty with it, less miles, better comfort and looks in my opinion. I recently traded my GT in for my snake and got a 6 year/70,000 mile warranty with it. Not bad for a '01 with 9700 miles for $22K. Keep shopping around. There are alot of '01 Cobras popping up here of late. People are trading them in for the '03+ snakes.
