Don't have one (I have a 99 COBRA)but besides Vert/coupe not sure they had a different version. GT's often come with different versions but haven't heard of that with a Cobra of the same year? Maybe some termie guys can tell ya more! Who is saying there is more than 1 version?

Only different "run" would be the mystichrome cobras and all that was was paint. There no better or worse 03-04 cobra performance wise. all were 390hp, 6speed, irs. only differences would be paint and coupe/vert.

Old post but I'll reply. In 03' you did have the 10th anniversary model. Mechanically the same as any 03'. Different wheels and interior treatment. Some people refer to early run cars or later run cars. Ford changed from green antifreeze to gold. The blower snout had a bolt in it on early cars, later just a plastic plug. Basically changes not worth mentioning

The runs the OP is referring to are the production runs. There were three production runs for the '03 and the only major difference between them is the calibration in the ECM. All three runs in '03 and the early run '04's all had issues with the drivers side head. My '03 was a first run car built in June of 2002. When shopping for an '03 there's no reason to be concerned over which production "run" the car was made during.

U.M.

A REALLY good first stop source for everything Terminator related can be found in the 03/04 Cobra FAQ located at the top of this forum!
