Default RE: Cobra cost??

Im going to be selling my 07 gt to get a 04 cobra. 03-04 cobra have a 4.6 dohc supercharged which makes 390hp. 390 is what ford says but ive seen some stock dyno at 415hp. The 99&01 are the same motor but not supercharged and they make 320hp. But i heard there was some problems with the head on the 99 and i think there is a recall to fix that. the 03-04 looks better and makes way better power in my opinion. Another thing is the price difference. The 03-04 cobra run from 26k and up with like 30k miles on the clock where the 99&01s you can find alot of them for under 20k$.Why you selling your 06 GT? Anything else you wanna know?

Well to make a long story short, almost 700 bucks a month is why im sellin, (424 payment, 250 insurance)...im 19 in college living with mom...and i would have been stuck with that payment for another 5-6 years...my gt is also an auto so i think ima go with the 99-01 cobra for two reasons, one it will be my first manual car so i dont think it would a be good idea to try and learn a manual on a supercharged car, another is the price, i dont want to go any higher than 15k, and if i cant find one for 15k or under than i will just get a gt.

But thanks for your info....

I do have another question even tho its kind of hard one...but what is the avg life span of a cobra miles wise...would it b wise to get one with 60k miles on it...i understand that all cars are diff but what would you do?

Default RE: Cobra cost??

ok lol hold on... there are NO 2003/2004 Cobras that dyno stock over 400rwhp...

They normally dyno between 350-380rwhp... They cost in the mid 20s you can find 99-01 Cobras for high teens, along with Mach 1's..

Unless you get yourself a 98/99 Cobra for around 9-15k you're not going to see much difference payment wise if you get a 2001, 2003 or 2004 Cobra, or a 03/04 Mach 1...

I would get myself a 98 Cobra... if money is the issue with you. The car lasts as well as it's taken care of.

I just read over the post and no one said ne thing about astock 03/04 cobra making 400rwhp...
But anyway if i can get a 99-01 cobra for 15-17k then thats much better than my 30k 06gt...also a little bit more power and its a stick which my 06 is a auto...

and yes there will be a hell of a diff between a 30k car and a 17k car...and i also like the 99+ models look...

Hmm... I don't really agree with the prices here. You can definitely find a good 03 for low to mid 20s, and 01 for 15 or less, 99s are worthless, and 96-98s for 11-12 or less.

I'm kind of annoyed because I missed out on a REALLY nice 03 for $21,000. I know who owned it, it wasn't abused. Now I found one for $23,000 but it's yellow and I don't really like Ford's ugly yellows. I might see if I can get the price right but I probably just want to hold off until I find what I really want.
