    Silver 2003 SVT Cobra Question

    all cars fade, but in most cases you can buff the surface to like new if you work at it. It is better if you regularly polish and wax the car to keep the surface looking nice and protected. Silver doesn't fade as bad as red does, nor does it oxidize like red. But neither would look bad if...

    Why are used 03/04 cobras so expensive?

    I just spent 27,900 on an 04 cobra hardtop, after looking at the market for 3 months or so, it was the cheapest one I could find in a 500 mile radius, and I found it in town. Sure the mystichrome vert woulda been nicer, but I prefer hardtops, and can always repaint the black car later if I get...

    4.6 Cobras : 3.73's or 4.10's???

    I put 3.73s in my 00 GT and they worked great, and the car never felt like it was winding too high on the interstate, even at 80mph plus speeds. If it were me, I'd opt for 4.10s instead for a general purpose car. They do make a world of difference in the seat of the pants feel of the car...

    2004 SVT Paint question

    I've been considering a 2004 Cobra for the past month, primarily the mystichrome ones, but found a decent 22k miles black SVT locally that i can pick up for a decent price. My question is, do all the 2004s have noticeable orange peel in the paint? When looking close at the black 2004, in...

    Keep GT or invest in Cobra?

    Not to jack the thread, but coming from someone alot older, with lower insurance etc, is it smarter to just add a power adder such as a Novi2000 to the 2000 GT or go ahead and buy a used 2004 SVT cobra? I agree with the others for a 17 year old, paying 2000 a year or higher for insurance is...
