Default New 2004 owner very soon.

Gents,

Sold my 94GT and convinced myself to buy a 04 Cobra. Any suggestions, comments pro/con will be greatly appreciated. Regardless of what you say, I'm open to suggestions! Thanks!

KG

Pros: your going to own a 2004 SVT Cobra
Cons: you have not bought your 2004 SVT Cobra yet

I can live with that pro/con comparison... Waiting for the x plan pin to come through and then the toughest decision will be the color...

I've heard some say that the sc was messing up with some of the cobras but I've heard nothing specific as to how they were messing up!

Tks.

I went from a h/c/i supercharged 1995 Mustang GTS to my 2003 Cobra. Though the GT was faster, my Cobra is overall the much better car. Enjoy.

Cool 03/04

I personally think it is one of the finest late model mustangs offered in a long time.
Certainly, the best overall for an outdated chassis. My personal issues are with the IRS which is improved since it's debut in 99. The power to $ ratio in this car is incredible!! Of that, I think most would agree.

I think you'll find it a well mannered car for the HP that can be unleashed under the hood. I think you'll enjoy it. :thumbup

Thanks Gents,

I'm looking forward to it!

KG

I do miss my 94GT though. Drove a 99GT the other day and realized how fast my 94 was... Guess the 04 will help me forget the old GT....

I'll have to change sig also...

Just in case you are still waiting to buy the car- Ford has a $3,000 factory incentive on them through the end of September

Default Cobra deal fell through.

Well the dream lasted for a while but fell through for many reasons! I ended up with an 01 Bullitt with 8,600 miles on it. Far reach from the Cobra but definitely saved a few buck$... and the color is True Blue...

Nice car but you cant compare with a 03/04 Cobra. Ive driven lots of cars and this can hang with the best of them.

I am SO jealous - awesome cars!
here's the club link if you didn't know about it: http://www.imboc.com/main/
Club site is very slick. With only 3/4" drop on factory springs i find the car just a bit high visually. Now, if you just get some polished cam covers and have the manifold polished!!!! Post pics!

do surf over to the Bullitt club link and check it out; the blue Bullitt is from a current EBay ad in Texas; would look good in my parking spot if was about an inch and a half lower.
