I am looking at either an 03 or 04 Cobra to replace my soon to be sold 98 Cobra. Which one is better? I am not concerned too much about the price or mileage difference. I will be buying one under 10,000 miles. What is the difference other than a possible 10th anniversary? Thanks for the input. -Ryan

Nothing that I know of.
Other than the warranty lasting a little bit longer.

Mine seems to be identical to the '04s. Other than my mods.

New color options...prob some other small things. Post this in SVT or PM Uncle Meat, I sure he has some resources at his fingertips.

No major differences. Yes there was a head tick problem on the early run '03's AND some of the early run '04's too. Read the 03/04 FAQ to learn everything you ever wanted to know about the 03/04 Cobra. If you STILL have unanswered questions after perusing through this most awesome resource don't hesitate to ask.

Few things I remember that were different were
03 had grey seat inserts
04 were black.

Then the exterior colors
03 had Mineral Gray, Dark Shadow Gray, Zinc Yellow, Satin Silver, Sonic Blue
04 had Comp Orange, Screaming Yellow & Mystic Chrome
Along with the usual Black, White and Reds

Also keep in mind the production numbers were quite different
03 ~ 13K +
04 ~ only 5K+

The only difference that matters is that they didn't have Sonic Blue in '04!

There were some 04's with grey inserts too though.
