I bought an 03 cobra 2 weeks ago. I fell in love with the color (mineral grey)
I paid 33,500
There are dealers out there that will give you a fair price. My friends cobra dynos at 419hp out of the box. there are some horsepower discrepancies with the factory figures. 100 extra ponies costs about $1500 bucks.
Although the saleen posts lower figures, I get the feeling that it is as strong and possibly handles better due to the weight of the vehicles. Don't get me wrong, the cobra handles very well since it is the only factory mustang with Independent rear suspension. On the track, the supercharged saleen may win by a slight margin but value for the dollar plus cheap upgrades makes the cobra a better buy in my opinion. The only complaint I have is that the traction controll is always on instead of always off like it should be. The stupid seat belt thing pissed me off for a few days until I figured out how to turn it off.
Good luck
Either is a great choice if you have the cash

I just forget to turn off the traction control every time I get in. I can disable it with a chip but that means it is permanately disabled. If you have any ideas let me know. I don't want to f##k up the factory wiring.

03/04 COBRA=TERMINATOR!!!!!!!!!!!
Saleen is a nice car if you want to spend the money for some individuality something more rare and just slightly exotic, know that youd be paying for a name and a body kit. As far as performance on the street the terminator with mods will own the saleen stock. On a road course the Saleen may be faster (or may not) but how often do you go to a closed road course?
oh and if youve got the money for a Saleen hang on to it until the GT500 is out next year and every Saleen owner can bow down and worship... cuz you know DAMN!

Well, if I HAD to, I'd get the Cobra......ugly little beast...my buddy has one and it's outright scary. Now if I HAD my choice, I'd get smart and buy a Subaru STI....Now don't get upset, you know that a stock WRX puts a mean hurt on a stock 4.6 L....(BTW, that cracks me up that a car with an engine less than half the displacement can do that).....At least just go drive a WRX before you buy....
It might win but it needs a road noise knob so you can turn it down to hear yourself think.....My brother had a wrx and now has an STI and he took me for a ride in it and I was searching all around the dash and he was like what are you looking for and I'm like the road noise knob so I can turn it down cause I cant hear what your saying over all the road noise.We then added 100 pounds of dyno mat to make it even livable but its still real bad
Never mind I didnt relise this thred was so old????WHo was looking that far back??Someone bored?
