I love mine, and they're a great bang for the buck these days with everyone interested in the '05's.

it might just be me but it seems like most performance parts are for the 03/04's now and u dont see much for the 96-98 cobras

oh well i still love my cobra! LOL!
i went to a dealership today to see the 05 mustang but it was out on test drive. the salesman had the nerve to say "you know that 05 mustang has more power than your cobra!" and im like "um ok we shall see about that!" and i also said "tell that to an 03/04 cobra owner and watch him laugh "
