Best year for the Cobra?

creepshow -> Best year for the Cobra? (11/19/2005 11:06:53 PM)
What would be the best year for the Cobra? Looking at maybe upgrading from my 90 fox. Did they all come with a supercharger? (excluding the 93) How does the insurance compare to like a GT? Thanks.

03?

03/04 are the only ones w/ an SC. They are the best. INsurance is considerably higher than a GT.

Forged internals, T56 transmission & IRS, much tougher than your GT/Mach 1's. 03/04 are the only Cobra's that came supercharged. The symbol (insurance companies use this rating) will determine your rates along with your driving record. Going from an 02 GT to my 04 Cobra increased my premium by only 150 bucks.

04...Some 03 Cobras were recalled due to being way underpowered and issues with the T/C. If you buy a used one from an owner with an 03 definitely ask for verification it was either not a recalled car or that it was fixed properly.

no 03's to my knowledge have been recalled. And I have my fair share of knowledge about terminators...... 99 cobras were recalled for being way underpowered. This might be what you were refering to.

I know there was something about the 03 I didn't like.

The 99-01's IMO are very good choices...they weigh less than a Terminator Cobra..and most have had the power recall done...they have better handling and front/rear weight distribution too.....however in a straight line the Terminators of course are superior...but nothing a Kenne Bell or a Vortech S/C won't fix....

dawssvt -> RE: Best year for the Cobra? (1/10/2006 11:12:05 AM)
03/04 are definately the best, but you get a 96-98 and throw a blower on it and you will have close to 500rwhp.... just another option... I can't afford an 03/04 [:@]

I liked the 00' Cobra R's, minus that wing that came on them. 5.4L engine w/ 385 hp @ 6250 rpm. http://www.svt.ford.com/svtArchiveCompareCobra.asp?vehicle_one=cobra_r00&vehicle_two=nothing&vehicle_three=nothing Then again it was not much of a daily driver car. "the 2000 R came stripped of any stock feature not needed for track use or that would add excess weight."

why excluding 93? you dont want another fox im assuming? personally id go with the 93 cobra. the years of the cobra starting with the fox years: 79 93 96 (cobra & cobra R) 99 00 (5.4L cobra R) 01 03 (supercharged) 04 (supercharged)

They started the cobra line up again in 93, then in 94 SVT was started, so 93-99 there were cobra's, no cobra in 00 except the very rare cobra R, one in 01, not sure about 02 since they went through a redesign engine wise, then 03-04 was SC'd. 93 and 00 were the cobra R's which are very rare compared to the regular cobra's.

You also forgot the 94 and 95 Cobra's.

im looking for the best that has the best supercharging potential and isnt too incredibly expensive, im upping from a 2k GT and iwant a cobra. Year unknown right now. Let me know thoughts

timbo3282 -> RE: Best year for the Cobra? (2/5/2006 1:00:40 AM)
I had a '97 Cobra but it did not compare to my '03. 03/04 is the only way to go.

tkay3 -> RE: Best year for the Cobra? (2/5/2006 1:05:28 PM)
I just got a 03, the guy told me it was the first one delivered to WA. What was wrong with them? What is a TC?
