2004 Cobra + ?

I am considering a 2004 cobra as my 'deep south' car (south carolina, florida)--- i'd love to hear some opinions on how to set it up based on what i want to use it for: pimpin, carving corners, dragging.

somebody sent me a link to the kenne bell supercharger site, and when ordering a set of coilovers from KW for my other car, i noticed that they are staging production for 1986-2004 mustangs--- the raw power and recent availability of some serious suspension is really changing my opinion of the mustang's viability!

here's my list of priorities:
1. must handle like an M3
2. must have brutal power
3. want 30% noise (0% = stock, 100% = ridiculous loud straight pipes)

where should i start?

what's the max size for tires out back? and, bone stock, how neutral is the handling (vs. oversteer/understeer)?

the car has inherent understeer, but the 03-04 have the best job in feeling neutral for a Cobra, the stock suspension is the best to date

if you want to corver carve, stick with the 275's out back, or else you will be pushing the car in the corners and straining the front tires to stay hooked. but have a spare wider set for drag racing.

I know a few Kenny Belled, maximum motorsports 03's that pass anything in their way on open track..including M3's and Evo's

How about the 2005--- they're coming out later this year; what kind of improvements are scheduled? I figured that since i found a dealer with 4 2003's unsold, i could get a deal.
