Omegalock said:Actually no I don't. IF(very big if) it's done correctly. The upside for the straightline edition or "Mach" would have to be large. And a factory supercharged 4.6 would definately be the big upside. A lot of people just want a fast car out of the box without having to do a lot to mod it. I think part of the success with the current Cobra is owed to exactly that. Think about the mind set of a person that would buy it, "Well I don't want to mod it but I can still blow the doors off of 90% of whatever I come across on the roads and still have a warranty." The next person may want to mod it and a factory induction engine would give them an excellent platform to monkey with compared to the N/A 4.6 3v. By the time the LX model got supercharged or turbocharged, a better transmission,and a better suspension you might not be that far ahead on the savings. You definately wouldn't have a warranty and your car wouldn't have the better looks or interior of a Mach and by the time you did those things to make them equal or superior to a Mach I'd wager you'd likely not be cheaper anymore. Yeah...I think the Mach and an LX model could live hand and hand together. If I had the money and given the choice between the two entirely made up and imaginary cars I'd pick the Mach in a heartbeat. I'd have the power,the looks, and the factory support I want without the hassle of modding everything about the car. THEN if I wanted to mod the Mach I still could and I'd get even better results than the guy who has toiled for months on his LX. Works for me.
Actually yes I do I know a guy with a silver one who has yet to do anything to it and I know another gentleman(2nd cousin in Houston) who is planning on buying one and when we talked about it he says he doesn't plan on modding it(04 Cobra) until after it's paid off.SVTdriver said:I'm not trying to insult you. So don't take it as one. But do you ever meet people that own 03 cobra's? Up here in the pacific NW. I don't think I've seen a stock Cobra unless it was just off the dealers lot. I can't name even 1 of the 03 cobra owners that haven't modified them. And usually just after buying them. When I looked to buy one. The first thing I was interested in was what mods could be done without voiding the warrantee. The trick with it is an LX would probably weigh less. Due to lack of options. So the hp difference would have to be particularly high to over some. Without just dropping an S/C on the LX and beating the mach. And for the drag racers the mach would then be pointless.
Ford doesn't sell the mustang. The dealers do. The dealers are theones youhave to blame for raping you. Ford only gives them an MSRP. Which the dealer can ignore if they choose.
sondesign said:I was there when the announcer messed up the presentation, he was an F150 presenter practicing on the Mustang in case of a problem, and he said "the new Mustang will start under $20K and with the new 300hp V8 available, its a great deal" That sent some press guys off with the wrong story. The pricing is $17k-$25K for V6, and $25k-$30k for V8... Trust me, I talked with J Mays himself.
Sorry for any dissapointment

Except for exhaust, I think Duner's is bone stockSVTdriver said:Maybe up here the people are different. But of the 7 or 8 03 Cobra's up here.
Ok that's an arguable 1 bonestock Cobra. But look at Jordan, Dataangel, I can't remember the name of the guy with the Kenne bell. And I'm forgeting some others right now. But some are only meeting at Burgermaster.HairyCanary said:Except for exhaust, I think Duner's is bone stock.

Just curious...
