Question Mustang Cobra question???

This is probably a stupid question, but I see a lot of guys in here giving major props to the 2003/2004 Cobra. What makes this year model Cobra so much better than the others? I have always been an F-Body guy, and don't really know much difference between all of the Cobra.


Sorry, I know this is the Street Racing section, but I wasn't sure where to ask this question. Plus I always see a lot of Mustang guys in this thread.


Thanks

Forged Motor, Blower, Responds VERY well to mods, can easily hold 650+RWHP without even touching the stock internals.

Actually it will handle even more than 650whp. With basic bolt ons they can easily make 500+ whp. By next summer I'll be going TT and I'll still keep my motor stock, hoping for 700+whp with stock block, so not bad.

They are pretty sick cars. Why they are called a "Terminator" is way by me though.

It was a name that Ford gave the car during its development.

My 04 terminator makes 700 rwhp with a single 76mm garrett turbo on stock internals/block and pump gas. Race tune will go much more with higher boost and race fuel... good enough to "terminate" almost anything cruising the street.

With bolt-ons, a pulley swap and 19 PSI of boost, they will make about 600-700rwhp no problem. Pretty much they are LS1 killers.

Thanks for all the answer's guys. I am looking for a new toy soon, and I have never been a huge Mustang fan, but I have read so much about these '03 Cobra's, I might just have to give one a shot (I hope I don't get slammed for that one... ).

Sounds like you can make there put down serious power without to much effort.

Of course the LS1 will also stay in the stable.

I think owning both may cause the earth to stop spinning and the end of the world to follow quickly.

So I guess my other choice of a Honda with an exhaust tip as big as a basketball is out of the question then.....

So is it all '03/04' Cobra's, or only certain ones? And if only certain one's, how do you tell the difference? I would have to do a lot of research before buying one since I don't know much about Snakes!
