Car Forum / Ford / Ford Mustang / January 2005mustang cobra's
Hey all I'm currently looking at mustang cobras. no not 05's I want one about 2 or 3 years old. don't trust anything first year from anyone. is there anything I should be looking out for.? are there any trouble spots or problems weak spots in the car or chassis that I should be aware of. I just found out the local ford dealership here won't even work on cobras so I have to go to Shreveport just to get the Dam thing worked on. what year did they go to superchargers? are they reliable. I haven't really found one that I like yet. although there is one locally that I haven't seen yet. black 03 convertible, auto, 27.000k, $29,995. lady driven but I think that might be a little too much money for a 03. well guys you tell me what your opinions are and any suggestions.  SignatureDefiant Defiant Till the end There isn't an automatic 03 Cobra that I'm aware of. Depends on what you're gonna use the car for though man... is it gonna see the drag strip? Are you wanting a ton of speed? Are you wanting a daily driver? Tell us what you want. IMO, the 03/04 Cobra's are the best bang for buck of all Cobra's. -Mike -- A happy kid behind the wheel of a 98 Mustang GT Cold air intake FRPP 3.73 gears Steeda Tri-Ax Shifter Flowmaster 40 Series mufflers (self-installed woohoo) Hi-speed fan switch 255/60R-15 rear tires Subframe connectors Aluminum adjustable clutch quadrant > Hey all I'm currently looking at mustang cobras. no not 05's I want one > about 2 or 3 years old. don't trust anything first year from anyone. is [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > Defiant Till the end > There isn't an automatic 03 Cobra that I'm aware of. well thats what the ad said anyway i'm gonna call her tomorrow and find out more if i can. i Haven't seen the car yet only a picture. I'll see if can find the ad around here and post it. i might have miss read the ad myself that been known to happen. > Depends on what you're gonna use the car for though man... is it gonna see > the drag strip? some, but mostly i'm just gonna drive it around in town and on the road for short trips probably not on long over 500 miles.

Thanks For reply Defiant > -Mike > [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > > > > Defiant Till the end If you're a speed freak... get an 03 or 04 Cobra.. hands down. They look a lot better than the 05 GT's in my opinion & also you can't beat that supercharger whine. I'm sure Dan or Mike (WraithCobra) can chime in too about 03/04 Cobra's. -Mike -- A happy kid behind the wheel of a 98 Mustang GT Cold air intake FRPP 3.73 gears Steeda Tri-Ax Shifter Flowmaster 40 Series mufflers (self-installed woohoo) Hi-speed fan switch 255/60R-15 rear tires Subframe connectors Aluminum adjustable clutch quadrant > > There isn't an automatic 03 Cobra that I'm aware of. > [quoted text clipped - 54 lines] > > > > > > Defiant Till the end What brand of supercharger does Ford use in it's 03-04 cobra's?
