    How many of you think less of the 03/04 Cobra simply because its supercharged? I'm not posting this to flame anyone, im just curious.

    I think more of it - To offer a full warranty on such a ball-zy machine, they must really have alot of confidence in their product. I mean come on - a forged motor - how rare is that! I think GM is doing the sad dance right now wishing they had thought of it...

    peace

    Yes, I think less of it. Its really annoying having no traction and going to the tire store all the time. :rolleyes:

    Ok, I was just curious. I myself dont think less of it in the least, esspecially growing up around my dads Grand National, that gave me a jump start on appritiating Forced Induction. Only reason I was asking is because there I'v heard a handful say they would have rather had Ford aquire the power N/A.

    Those people that say that are the one's that have an n/a Cobra, can't afford a blower, and get beat on the street all the time :D

    no I don't think less of it..... I love my car. But I always thought it would be interesting if SVT used the FR500 motor in production instead. Just a thought.

    I dont think less of the 03/04's but I would love to see Ford make a N/A 400+rwhp Mustang, then add a blower to that. :D

    I bought it not because it is a little better than my '99, but exponentially better. The seats, the motor (Although I wish the block was aluminum.), the drivetrain, etc.

    That said, the '99 is much better on the twisties, especially when there not too long of straight sections of road. It is a lighter car by about 150-200#, all in the front end. It could use a better gear, though.

    :flag: :nice:
