01-04 Cobra whats the difference?
Pretty new to the cobra's asI know very little. I'm trying to do some research on the difference's on the older ones vs. the newer ones. I really dont care to much about the newest body still all that much. Really leaning towards the 01-04 body style though. Anyone has some good info or links to some stuff I could read about I would really appritiate it. Thanks gang!

RE: 01-04 Cobra whats the difference?
99 & 01 cobras are pretty much the same thing. N/A 281ci, 32 valve, DOHC (2 cams per head)
03 & 04 cobras are pretty much the same thing. S/C 281ci, 32 valve, DOHC (2 cams per head), roots style blower
any questions? Go for the 03 or 04 cobra
Also the 03& 04 cobras have built motors. Pulley swap, bolt ons=close to 500rwhp

The block in the Terminator (03-04) is cast and can handle lots more hp, where as the older models are aluminum and are limited.
Really depends on what you want to do with it. If you're looking for pure hp and can afford it, definately go with the Terminator. If you don't have the bucks, go with an '01 and do your own mods.
Either way, hope you find something you like!
