I've seen a few that made me turn my head. There definitely times when I wish I had a back seat in the vette, but I've got a four pickup and the wife has an HHR.

I've owned 6 Mustangs through out the years. The last one was a 96' Mystic. I had all sorts of goodies on it including a Vortech on. On street tires it ran 12.002 in the 1/4. It needed more, but it was getting old, so I bought an 05' GTO. Then sold the Cobra and put a ProCharger in the GTO. What a difference! Now I bought an 06' Vette. I really wanted the GT500, but the Vette was $10,000 cheaper. I too am a Mustang guy at hart. Enjoy your new ride.

Never much liked the looks of that Mustang. But, some have people different tastes. Even Rosie O'donell found someone that thought she was attractive. Just like some like the Mustang.

Good luck.

i got it for 24k

car seems very tight,

it does have the matching seat inserts and steering wheel tops that color shift as well

13k miles on it, 1 owner, and my local tuner, knows the tuner of this car very well

it's got at least 10k in mods on it which really is nice

it's got the upgraded supercharger, all the supporting fuel mods, upgraded clutch , shocks, struts, springs

and a drag wheel setup, that retails out for around $2500. 17x2 skinnies on the front and 15x8's for the rear, good tires for the front, brand new slicks for the rear

i think it was a good find, i'll get a few pics later when the suns hitting her

Congrats on your new ride I had an 03 Cobra that I liked, but I discovered that for me the Vette was more fun. I sold the 03 to my dad, and he has really enjoyed it.

I sold a Cobra when I bough my base C6 a few years back. Great cars and really nice if you have kids. I was just the opposite. My kids had reached the point where they hated the back seat and I was ready for something different.

Enjoy it!

Sounds like a killer deal!

I had an '03 Cobra a few years back and really enjoyed it. Just don't let it wheelhop and be careful changing spark plugs.

Congrats. Two of my friends have 04 Cobras. One might be an 03, but i forget. One is black, the other is silver and they both go really good.

After seeing how much I was looking to spend on a Corvette my friend with the Silver Cobra is trying to get me to buy a GT500. I guess a dealership by him has two brand new leftover 07's they're down to 35K for.

Beefcake is back in the realms of the Terminator! Enjoy it man those Mystichromes are sweet lookin'! I actually miss the low end torque of my '03. My Z just doesn't have the same low-end grunt off-idle like my Terminator did.

Congratulations. I have always loved beautiful Mustangs.

Cobras are the mortal enemy of my mongooseC6 and he will have to be beefed up to match your setup. That is in his future.

Hope you enjoy your new toy and it is good the family can join you in the car shows and enjoy the hobby.

I had an 03 Cobra with a cai, Stage IV Stieg blower w/2.8" pulley, cat-back, tune. On 93 octan with an aggessive tune, made 500rwhp/480rwtq SAE. I had almost went with a Whipple or KB prior to buying my 05 C6. Depending on boost, 600rwhp is going to be easily had with the Whipple. Though I prefer the C6, the Cobra was a blast
