Do it ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif) You will be takin' a loss on the upgrades to your '01. You could always return it to stock before you sell it.

I am just going to assume the stock car handles better, stops better and is faster then your 01.

put yours back to stock, most of your bolt-ons work fine on an 03.

If you decide to step up to an 03/04, might as well return your car to 100% stock because selling or trading a car in with mods is throwing money in the garbage IMO...
For example, I have an 03 Mach 1 with full MM suspension, LT's, etc. Although all of these parts equal out to well over $5k when purchased new, if I sold my car, I would be lucky to get an extra $1k with the mods installed over what I could sell my car for in stock trim.
Plus, like Blind said, most of the parts will interchange with the 03/04, & if you decide not to use them on the 03/04, you could always sell the parts & you will make more money that way...
Its really up to you if having a Terminator is worth taking the loss & having a higher payment. I know my Mach 1 is nothing compared to a 03/04 Cobra performance wise, but I prefer the originality & the look of my Mach 1 over an everyday run of the mill Terminator. I have way too much invested in my car to start over now...
That being said, I would rather build an N/A foxbody that can spank your average bolt on Termi...

Just consider yourself lucky that you're not upside down in your car loan like I am... If I was in your shoes, I would keep your current car, & start saving up to build a forged blown motor to drop in. Since you are so close to paying the car off, I would just keep it. Think of how much cash you would have to mod your car to your liking if you had no car payment? I have no idea what you financial situation is, but if you purchased a $20,000 Terminator, & you were only able to sell your Cobra for $9k, you would have a pretty sizeable car payment...
