    what problems with the 30-04 cobras?

    Just like any car they have there share of problems. The most prevalent are engine "tick" and a clunky drivetrain. Look here for loads of info: http://www.svtperformance.com/ Knowing all the things about it, would I buy one again? Oh, ya !!!

    Test drove a 05 GT for about 20 miles!

    That's what I'm getting at, it's torque * rpm (* .00019) which is equal to horsepower.

    Test drove a 05 GT for about 20 miles!

    The torque/horsepower thing is interesting but how about an example: 1) 400 hp at 6000 rpm = 350 lb-ft 2) 500 hp at 8000 rpm = 328 lb-ft Let's assume top gear going the same speed. Car #1 with a 3.5 rear will have 3.5 x 350 lb-ft = 1225 lb-ft at the wheels. Since car #2 can run at a...

    Test drove a 05 GT for about 20 miles!

    Actually the 390hp Cobra is very underrated, they average 420+hp. So ya, I love the '05 too but those numbers are a little suspicious. Also the Cobra is good for 53 mph in 1st and 78 in 2nd so it is applying the torque much longer.

    2003 Cobra

    No, but it sounds like a good idea!

    '04 Cobra vs. '04 Roush GT

    Drive a Cobra then your mind will be made up :) .

    2003 Cobra

    The minimum would be to get a custom mail order tune from someone like RWTD http://www.runninwiththedevil.com/ . The best option would be to get it dyno tuned however.

    Anyone with mystichrome?

    With 300 miles I think they have to sell it as used. I paid $35.7K 6 months ago without any rebates so I'm thinking the $31.8K is high. About the color... It is absolutely awesome!!! Yes, you do become very paranoid where you park it because there are no bump strips on the door. Touch up...

    If you could tell Ford what to 'touch up' on the 05...

    But then again I haven't seen an '05 in person so I may change my opinion when I see one.

    Unfortunately I have to agree, the front with half turn signal/fog light and hood scoops on the original concept was much sleeker. When they changed it to what it is now is one of the factors that made me go with the '04 Cobra. Just a bit too retro.

    Buddy got an 04 Cobra and I'm in charge of mods...hows this sound

    If this is primarily going to be a drag racer then you should consider replacing the IRS with a solid rear axle.

    Pics of the 2 05's at local dealer

    Kinda surprised by the 17/25 mpg rating. My Cobra is rated 17/24.

    03'-04', water/moisture in foglight?

    Thanks! I'll check it out.

    ever seen a stock 03-04 cobra run low 12s? i know its been done

    For normal driving, no. For racing with IRS you do need to learn how to launch and not get a bunch of wheelhop. I got to say though once it's hooked up the traction seems very good.

    Autoweek 05 Review

    They also mentioned 0-60 in 5 sec. ! I'll bet the Cobra will be n/a also just because of the weight.

    Some clarification on MT's 05 GT track test

    Been thinkin' about this and you're 100% right. If you can't drive the thing then all the horsepower in the world won't make a difference. I think with good drivers in both cars that number difference would be much greater than .2-.3 sec., I've seen numbers as low as 12.5x for a stock Cobra but...

    Some clarification on MT's 05 GT track test

    Don't get me wrong, the '05 Stang is an awesome car and I was real close to waiting for one but I agree that MT is a bit off in their comparison. This may be because the auto '05 is probably very easy to launch and get good numbers where a Cobra is pretty tough to launch unless you know what...

    New 04 or Keep my 02 GT

    The Cobra is awesome, drive it and your mind will be made up !!! I paid $35.7K earlier in the year for my Mystic, you should be able to get a regular color for right at $30K. Good Luck !!!

    GT, Cobra, Shelby

    I was gonna wait for an '07 Cobra but I figured, 1st the price would be prohibitive, 2nd the dealers would probably go back to the "list price for an SVT, take it or leave it" and 3rd '07 is a long ways off for something that isn't even defined! Instead I picked up an '04 Cobra which I really...
