    Well, im considering trading my 03 cobra coupe for a 01 cobra vert. I want a vert but I cannot afford the 03 vert, so im doing a little research. Also, I think I want to go back to N/A, more reliable and less worries.

    What kind of mileage can you get on a 01 vert? I just dont want to downgrade mileage wise.

    why?

    well im just going to add this.

    03 coupe = bad azz, especially if you install the right sun roof.
    01 conv. = still bad azz but a couple hundred more pounds and the top sometimes leaks, about half a second slower than the 01 coupe too.
    I would stick to the 03 if gas and having a convertible is a worry then just go get a GT. :shrug:

    I'd think you'd lose more money on a trade in than you'd gain by having a little better gas mileage :shrug:

    Actually I want a vert the most, but 03 verts are too expensive. I was just curious if theres any mileage improvement.

    I could never chop up the roof of this car to put a sunroof on, that would be sacrilegde! Besides, its still not the same :D

    By the way the 01 Cobra vert is still lighter then the 03 Cobra coupe.

    Checked it Monday and got 22 mpg with combined driving. I usually get 20-21 with two or three romps.
