Hi,
Glad to found this forum. I look forward to learning as much as possible about the Ford Cobras. I have always worked on chevy trucks but I'm thinking about buying a 2003/2004 Cobra mustang within the year. I heard about the ticking noise in the early 2003....anything I need to look out for when a purchase a 2003/2004 Cobra mustang...hopefully around $20,000 preferably stock (with that price range probably a 2003). I'm looking at several that have around 60,000 in mileage. Anything I should look out for?

Thanks for your time,
Joe

At least it's more erect and not floppy anymore.

A lead foot and a a lot of screaming noise from your engine Wheel hop on the IRS sucks if you plan on drag racing a lot.

Can these 2003 Cobras be used as a DD, what is your insurance running you?
