Fuel Question for 2001 Cobra
Hey guys,
I have been looking at 99-04 4.6 GT's, looking for a fun daily driver. I found a really nice 2001 cobra at a very reasonable price, I am just curious what drawbacks there would be to using on for a daily driver? It has 50k miles, is flawless and at a reputable dealer asking $11,XXX.
Do they require premium fuel? That is about the only drawback I can think of to daily driving one, other than putting miles on a nice car...

You shouldn't have a problem running 87 Octane unless you tune it for more power or the compression has been changed. Fuel Mileage can be pretty good even in the older cars, I got 24MPG with 4.10 gears and all my current mods. Ended up with 370miles to 15 gallons.

Sounds like its under KBB by a little bit. Be SURE it is flawless, don't take on something that has issues. Test drive for more than a mile or two, once you are ready to purchase so you get a good feel for if anything is wrong. A Cobra is a MUCH better buy than a GT IMO with the prices of the older Cobras being only slightly more than the GTs. I picked up my 98 a few months ago for a hair over 5K and still love it. Let us know what your decision is, trust me you won't be dissatsified (if it is flawless or close to it)!
