If you don't have the tools take the battery down to autozone and they will charge it for free and put a load test on it. They will even come out and test your alternator/starter for free too if you want to take them out or can manage to drive it down there.
I would keep the Duster and if you want a GT get a used cobra or z06 instead. I got my cobra for something like 16K. GT's just don't have umph and they don't hold any value. 94-99 Cobra's will drop during winter but be back up at 10-13K during the summer. The teksid blocks are fantastic...
Ted,
I'd be interested to know how long that Roe combo lasts until it pops and if he has anything else done to it. It's like the hellraiser by helion on the 03/04 Cobra. 1000+ rwhp on a factory motor but umm, for how long?

Compound Boost...
Yes, Mustang is not a supercar and will never be, viper is. The question was more of will the SRT-10 soft top do what I want or do I need a GTS with forged internals. The answer is a GTS and keep my cobra for the soft top.
612rwhp is the most I've driven.
I still can't believe how...
4.6L x 20psi = 700rwhp on Stock Motor (twin screw, not TT)
8.0L x 10psi = 700rwhp on Stock Motor (Roe with water/****)
Last I checked the Viper motors won't handle 20psi stock.
Not trying to turn this into a ***** fest, back on topic. We know Viper > Terminator when going all out...
03/04 Cobra has forged internals as responds extremely well to boost. Most ported 03/04's will make around 500rwhp with just a ported blower and what the heck, $6500 to port a blower? Posi will do it for about 1K. Yes, ported blower != Roe. KB/Whipple = Roe. 3500-4K for blower + supporting...
What other cars have you had and modified?
Right now I'm still in aww about how little money it takes to get a 03/04 Cobra producing power. A good blower (kb/whipple) system running about 20-25PSI with supporting mods (say, maybe 5-7K including blower) will produce the power/tq/hp a ROE...
The 03/04's are by far the best Mustang, at least to me. Some can argue the GT500 but I don't want to drive a Tank and and even the Terminator's are getting close to that.
The rear end, output shaft, and the early 03 heads are the weak points. I'm more worried about the 03 heads then...
I haven't test driven either. Waiting until I'm a more serious buyer sometime next year. More or less that's why I'm asking for advice to get a ball park of what I need saved up before I go driving :-)
Exactly what I was looking for! As far as the shelby's I hear they are far more refined then the Terminators and it takes a lot more power to get them moving. My Terminator is black on black as well, great combo. Just exhaust, welded subframes, intake for now. I'm thinking a posi ported...
Yes that would fit the bill but... looks outside the price range. I'm hoping low 40's, mid 30's to start. more then likely 03-06 SRT10 if I'm going that route.
