Pick this up today:

99 Cobra with 52K miles, bought it from the second owner who bought it in 99 with 3K on it. Has a decent list of mods done to it. The little 281 pulls much harder then I expected it would. Pretty happy with it so far except the long tubes drag a bit when pulling into my shop.

No kidding! I paid $10,700 for my car with 33,000 miles, with Magnaflow catted X and catback, tb/plenum, FR500 wheels, and a steeda CAI. It was basically EVERYTHING I was looking for as far as color scheme and cleanliness, and had most of the mods done to it already that I was going to spend money on anyway. It was either that or wait to find a decent Mach1/Cobra for about $17k. I still feel to this day I made the better choice but man would I like to have a 4V.

Yeah I was actually looking at Mach 1's when I stumbled upon this one. But all the ones I could find were either the wrong color, or had a ton of miles, or grossly overpriced (IMO).

It looks to me like your hood is flat black... is it just the lighting or was there some condensation???

BurningRubber · Nov 16, 2010

Great looking Cobra... if you can get it to hook hard it should go high 12's easy with your mods. The exhaust and gears probably woke it up pretty well.

Yeah it's condensation, I took the pics when I got off work @ 5am.

I haven't pushed it real hard yet as I'm still getting used to the power band of the car. It feels pretty strong though, when I was test driving it the tires broke loose in 2nd when I hit about 4K rpms.

Sorry but I have to ask, I thought these 1999-2002 Cobras came with 4v 4.6L? Or is it a 2v or 3v? Sorry about teh noob question lol...

N8Dogg98 · Nov 17, 2010

They come with a 32 valve, 4.6L V-8... same engine as the Mach I's but IIRC the 4V heads on the 99-01 Cobra's are slightly different than the heads on the Mach I.

BTW, there was no Cobra for 2002, instead Ford built the Cobra R in '02 w/ the 5.4L, 32 valve, V-8

LarsD · Nov 17, 2010

N8 is correct, the Mach 1's have slightly higher compression where as the 99-01 Cobras have 9.85 compression ratio. Not really sure of the differences in the heads.

ninjastang125 · Nov 17, 2010

N8dogg, they made the kewbra R in 00. They didn't produce a cobra in 02 because they were getting ready to release the baddest cobra at the time the following year!
