’03 Saleen or Cobra?
I bought an 03 cobra 2 weeks ago. I fell in love with the color (mineral grey)
I paid 33,500
There are dealers out there that will give you a fair price. My friends cobra dynos at 419hp out of the box. there are some horsepower discrepancies with the factory figures. 100 extra ponies costs about $1500 bucks.
Although the saleen posts lower figures, I get the feeling that it is as strong and possibly handles better due to the weight of the vehicles. Don't get me wrong, the cobra handles very well since it is the only factory mustang with Independent rear suspension. On the track, the supercharged saleen may win by a slight margin but value for the dollar plus cheap upgrades makes the cobra a better buy in my opinion. The only complaint I have is that the traction controll is always on instead of always off like it should be. The stupid seat belt thing pissed me off for a few days until I figured out how to turn it off.
Good luck
Either is a great choice if you have the cash

I just forget to turn off the traction control every time I get in. I can disable it with a chip but that means it is permanately disabled. If you have any ideas let me know. I don't want to f##k up the factory wiring.
