Best year for the Cobra?
What would be the best year for the Cobra? Looking at maybe upgrading from my 90 fox. Did they all come with a supercharger? (excluding the 93) How does the insurance compare to like a GT? Thanks.

Forged internals, T56 transmission & IRS, much tougher than your GT/Mach 1's.
03/04 are the only Cobra's that came supercharged. The symbol (insurance companies use this rating) will determine your rates along with your driving record.
Going from an 02 GT to my 04 Cobra increased my premium by only 150 bucks.

04...Some 03 Cobras were recalled due to being way underpowered and issues with the T/C. If you buy a used one from an owner with an 03 definitely ask for verification it was either not a recalled car or that it was fixed properly.

no 03's to my knowledge have been recalled. And I have my fair share of knowledge about terminators......
99 cobras were recalled for being way underpowered. This might be what you were refering to.

Mmm...that may be the year it applies to. I know the 03 had something wrong with them...TC maybe was wacky on them or you could not turn it off?? I know there was something about the 03 I didn't like.

The 99-01's IMO are very good choices...they weigh less than a Terminator Cobra..and most have had the power recall done...they have better handling and front/rear weight distribution too.....however in a straight line the Terminators of course are superior...but nothing a Kenne Bell or a Vortech S/C won't fix....
