    Quick Question for you Cobra Owners

    18 years old and two tickets.....I'd estimate that you'd be paying at least $450 a month for insurance alone. That is, unless, you somehow have about $20-$30K to pay off your Cobra and can put minimum insurance on it. If you don't, then tack that on to at least a $400 car payment, it adds up...

    Driver's side window rattles on 04' Vert

    Anyone else having this problem? Driver's side window squeaks like mad over the smallest bumps, sometimes does it even on flat pavement (almost sounds like styrofoam rubbing together) Of course, the dealer "cannot verify the problem"...... Any suggestions on how to fix? Possibly have them...

    New 04 or Keep my 02 GT

    Sell it privately and use the money you make over the dealer trade in to take all of us out for a cold one- You'll be much happier when you make an extra $2-$3K by selling it yourself, especially if it's mint like you say it is. Do it now before winter rolls around though. Good luck and keep us...

    Update: 03 Cobra 6th Gear Vibration

    Hey Kyle, I'd say definitely file for the lemon law. I purchased a brand new '04 back in mid-August. The car has been at two different dealerships for 35 days now. Looks like 1 car payment went to hell- I have a LIST of issues/problems with my cobra. It's funny how eager the dealerships are...

    New 04 or Keep my 02 GT

    $35K for Mystic? That's a great price. Is that a coupe or vert? I paid $35 for an '04 vert. I definitely think you can get that price for your '02 (assuming you've taken care of it and it's in great condition). I sold an '00 convertible 6 cylinder for $11,500 with 60,000 miles after just two...

    Misaligned Dash/Console

    Does anyone else have a misaligned console where the two separate pieces (below the radio) come together? This would be on the sides of the console, near the driver's right leg and passenger's left leg. Apparently 9/10 Mustangs (not just Cobras) have this problem. Just wanted to see if there was...

    New 04 or Keep my 02 GT

    Whatever you decide to do, do NOT trade in your car, sell it on your own and make an extra $2-$3K. But why comp orange? I think there are much better colors to choose from, just my opinion. I bought an '04 torch red. The car moves, really fast, even bone stock, and you can make it VERY fast for...

    New 04 Cobra...clunk when I engage 1st gear

    Picked up the Cobra today after two friggin' weeks driving one of their sad excuses for a loaner (focus). They replaced the trans part and didn't make any difference whatsoever. I pulled into my driveway, and I still have the grinding sound. I'm through taking this car into the dealer- Bunch...

    New 04 Cobra...clunk when I engage 1st gear

    Yes, the grinding is exactly what I was talking about while you're in 1st and 2nd.. Again see the following (from above): TSB - 04-13-4 Transmission Rattle Noise or Difficult to Shift - Tremec T56 6 Speed Manual Issue: Some 2003-2004 Mustang Cobra vechicles equipped with a Tremec T56 6...

    Anyone else find the current Cobra's seats to be very uncomfortable?

    Hey Manic, I can't help but agree with you. I'm 6' 205lbs, and I just sold my 2000 vert with leather interior, the seats were unbelievably comfortable. It's taking everything I have to get used to my new 04 cobra seats as well, they're just not as comfortable as the standard leather seats, a...

    Attention all 03-04 cobra owners..

    I did notice quite a bit of clunking, especially when I just touch the gas, then let off, etc etc, sounds loose, but I guess this is normal from what I've heard. The car is going in on Thursday. I know there's been a ton of exhaust questions in the forum, just wanted to get your opinion U.M...

    Attention all 03-04 cobra owners..

    What did they do to the exhaust? When I bought this car I expected it to sound a hell of a lot more aggressive than it does. What did they do to the 04's?? Any suggestions on what to do for the exhaust system? What should I mod first? I guess I'll live with the wheel weights on the...

    Help with '04 Cobra convertible color decision..

    Actually, the car looks damn nice with the red and black, and with the top down, unbelievable. A rocket on wheels. Thanks to all- Check out my last thread in the SVT forum, as I was just a bit pissed off when I picked the car up last night- :flag:
