Default GOODBY GT Hello SVT!

Just traded my GT in for a 2003 cobra. I will be the only one in the family having a white christmas this year! JK. Picked her up with only 4,600 miles. I going to be broke for two weeks but then my money will settle and boy was it worth it.

First mods: springs, SLP exhaust then ill be putting on my black chrome Fr500 wheels. CANT WAIT FOR WINTER TO BE OVER. thank god i bought a cavalier a few weeks back too ha.

at the dealer it was listed for $29,000. Ended up picking her up for $26,000. Traded the GT in + a little money down towards the cobra which knocked it down alot. I ve been looking for a few months in getting a cobra. I saw a cobra listed for $20,000 with 59,000 in Jersey and it seems like the verts are cheaper to pick up then the coupes? Overwise I keep seeing them around $20,000 to reaching $30,000 in this area. The search is basically through Autotrader and the Yahoo auto search thing. the cobra Still getting use to it. The seats and the shifter are a bit getting use too. Feels like the shifter sits more up towards the front of the stang but its proply because i m use to driving the GT. Only pushed the car twice yesterday (Only wanted to hear the charger in third and see the boost gauge move) Otherwise drove her to work and back not even going over 3500 rpms. Cobra runs soo well.

Seems like a real good deal! ...that's what I paid for my Cobra back in Oct. '05 with 21k miles on it! ...Got the build date or car # from SVT? ...You can get a certificate from SVT

Mine in #7248, built May 24, 2003...Have fun!

^^ Of course haha. it rained but it will see rain, once snow comes, she will be going to be parked. Next year she wont see any rain.

Also where do you get the SVT certificate????? I never got one when i picked her up.

Also, besides the exhaust/springs, what would be some really good upgrades on the mustang (Bolt ons).
