Keep looking.. There are BETTER deals out there..

The 97 Cobra is NOTHING like an 03/04..

97 = 305 HP (if memory serves me right)
03/04 = 390 HP (if memroy serves me right)

That is alot of miles, but if u got the money in the bank it would be worth it to rebuild (forged, of course). Pry cost ya around 7k to do the motor, so I guess u could look at it as a 97 Cobra for 13000 which wouldnt be to bad, ONLY IF u re-did the motor.

Don't get that cobra, way too many miles. And the 97 cobras aren't anywhere near the 03's. They are compareable to the new edge gt's.
