<FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Thinking of Buying a 03 Cobra Ford really did things right! I was wondering what you all could tell me about the Cobra Mustang. Why should somebody buy a Mustang over a Camaro or Firebird? How is the general comfort and ergonomics?</FONT></P>

Cuz its a Mustang!!! Nuff said!!!</P>


plus - the camaro was Chevy's feeble answer to the Mustang and then GM had to ***** itself out by developing the Pontiac Firebird</P>

Well, for one thingCamaros and Firebirds are no longer beingproduced. I traded in my 01 Ram-Air Trans-Am for an 03 Cobra because I didnt want to spend a fortune strengthening my motor so I could install a supercharger. The 03 Cobrais easy and relatively cheap to mod. Chip, pulley, intake and exhaust will get you 460-480rwhp and a Kenne Bell supercharger willput you into the 650-680rwhp range.</P>

Hey,</P>


BUY WHAT YOU ARE HAPPY DRIVING.....</P>


THE 03 COBRA IS PERFECTLY MATCHED WITH THE CORVETTE IN ALL ASPECTS... MOST PEOPLE WHO BUY MUSTANGS ARE A LOYAL GROUP OF DIE HARD FORD PEOPLE......I HAVE OWNED SEVERAL COBRAS...</P>


I HAVE SOLD MY 93,AND 97 COBRA'S AND AM KICKING MY SELF IN THE BUTT....</P>


I ALSO STILL HAVE A MUSTANG THOUGH....A 92 GT.......I AM PERSONALLY WAITING FOR 2006 FOR THE NEW BODY STYLE AND ENGINE....</P>


IF YOU CAN WAIT???? WAIT.....IN 2006 THE COBRA WILL HAVE A SUPERCHARGED 5.4 LITER PUMPING 515 HP....</P>


</P>


IMPRESSIVE......THE 5 POINT RACING SEATS IN THE 05 GT CONCEPT CAR WILL ALSO STAY IN THE 06 COBRA</P>

I drove the 03 Cobra last night, WOW! Neat freeking car! Nice solid feel, sticks to the road and lots of power. Now I know why you guys like the Cobra.</P><edited><editID>zlazarus</editID><editDate>37869.4225</editDate></edited>

Why wait. 515 HP is no biggie. With simple mods, I'm already there. I've got 460 rwhp which is more than 515 BHP. I'm pretty sure that the price will go much higher if they use the 5.4 supercharged motor. The 03 Cobra was plenty expensive for my taste. Why wait another 3 years. If the 06 Cobra is that much better, I'll just trade in my 03 since I'll have it damn near paid off. As is, I have 3 years to enjoy being king of the road. I'll worry about 06 when it arrives.</P><edited><editID>Pyrro</editID><editDate>37869.5861689815</editDate></edited>

well I'd wait on a 05 shelby..or go ahead and buy a roush or a saleen if $$$ permits...by 05-06 there will be a glut of 01-03 cobras for sale as the z28 has gone there is really nothing else to buy except a stang until late 04 as chev will have something else going...'stang are cheaply moded buy the 4.6 isn't the easiest to work on...one thing about the 05 is all that will be under warrantty

How do you know this info. about the 2006 Cobra??? Just curious...

mdvaldosta

I think to say anything about a 2006 is just speculation at this point... even if there is a 5.4 sc prototype cobra right now, it doesnt mean it will go into production.
