    Mach 1 or 2004 Cobra

    Once you step on the gas in a Cobra your mind will be made up ! Also if you are into mods it's extremely easy to get major hp gains (70hp, 100ftlb) from a Cobra. Make sure you drive both before you decide, the price of a Cobra should be around 30K right now.

    Why do Cobras get low MPG?

    For the S/C'ed Cobras the compression ratio has been lowered to 8.5:1 for detonation control at high boost, unfortunately for normal cruising it hurts efficiency. I do manage to get right around 20mpg going to work with a mix of hwy and city driving. Not bad for the performance level of the car :).

    2004 SVT Cobra - Should we?

    They need to go down another $1K off the price. $33K would be just about right especially if you bought an X from them!

    2004 vs 2005

    If you plan on buying the fully loaded '05 GT you may want to look into an '04 Cobra. Most dealers let them go for under 33K. I'm sure the '05 is better in alot of areas but you can't argue with 390 underrated hp !

    Is your Cobra your daily driver? Could it be?

    It's my daily driver, 50 miles a day back & forth to work. I'm sure in the winter it will get some days off but not many.

    Considering buying '04 SVT...NEED ADVICE

    I just got mine and plan on using it as my daily driver too. My first fill up netted 19.5 mpg so I expect it to go up to about 22 or so. For it's performance level and fuel economy better than most SUV's you can't beat it. Yellow Horse, what tires did you have in those 8-10" snows and how did...

    Make that a "2007 Cobra"

    Not that familiar with leases but from what I surmised it would be around $3000 down and $550 a month.

    Make that a "2007 Cobra"

    Wow, I was thinking 2 years but that's 3 years! I think I'm gonna give my dealer a call today about his inventory of 14 2004 Cobras, he should be dealing. Unfortunately the lease would not work for me because I put on about 18K miles a year. This is killin' me :).

    Make that a "2007 Cobra"

    The earliest we've heard that it will be available will be mid 2006 but it will be a 2007 model.

    loaded 05 GT to sell for more than $30,000?

    Unfortunately it doesn't look good for the Cobra price either then. Are we talking $40K, yikes! Gonna have to increase my Cobra Fund allocation to be able to even think about getting one :(.

    Who wants IRS?

    I agree that IRS should be an option. I personally would rather have more HP than IRS but that's my preference not everyone's.

    2005/'06 SVT Cobra???

    From what I've read it will be an early release 2007, like mid 2006.

    Interview with Hau Thai-Tang (Mustang Enthusiest Mag)

    IMHO, sounds like they will have two special editions, one for the drag racer and one for the road racer. Even though the GT has 300hp I would not consider it in the raw performance catagory. If we disect what he said we can expect a solid axle version with higher hp and the more refined and...

    2005 GT vs 2004 Mach 1

    After what Ford went through with the 305hp (I think) Cobra a few years back I'm sure you can rest assured that it will not be overrated.
