Im sellin my 06gt, going to get a 99-04gt or cobra if i can find one cheap enough...what i want to ask it how much did you guys get your cobras for...and im talking if you bought it used...is it possible to get one that will run good for under 15k?
And what is the major dif between the years with the cobra, bcuz i know some of them come supercharged and some dont correct?
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.

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?

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 a stock 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.

Why are the 99's worthless??? wuts the dif between 99 and 00-02?

I would go with 99 over 98 since 99 comes with 320bhp vs 98 305. For the minor price difference worth one year newer and 15 more HP ....IMO

You know, my main reason would have been that the 98 had the Teksid block, but the 99 did too, I forgot that. However, the 99s are turds unless they were fixed. They don't perform. It had a recall so if the 99 is fixed, then great, otherwise it probably performs no better than the 96-98s. The 01s had many other improvements over the 99s too. The 3650 tranny, new cylinder heads, newer cobra seats, etc. There are a lot of things that make the 01s better than the 99s. To me I prefer the 96-98s based on looks (not to mention they'd be cheaper), or the 01.
Then again, you could just get an 03-04 and be done.

I replied mostly above, but also, please remember, there basically aren't any 00 or 02 Mustangs. In 00 all they made were the 5.4L Cobra Rs which are extremely rare, and in 02 they just sent the production of Cobras (a whopping 100) to Australia, thus even more rare. (Hell, come to think of it, I don't think I've even ever heard of one before.)

and yes someone did say the 03/04 came stock with 415hp

oh your right... i guess all dyno numbers are to the wheels...
Well... any that you are gonna do. You can dyno the engine itself but you have to take the engine out. It's only used to test run an engine before it's in the car. So yeah, if you put your rear wheels on a roller and test the HP, it's always rear wheel horsepower.
I got my 99' for $11,100 with 92k miles, 35k on the engine and trans. It came with the mods listed below. The paint is in great shape, bright red with a tan interior. I got it from a dealer too.
