Default Cobra Guy

I thought I would introduce myself. I have actually been visiting this site for several weeks. I am a 03 Cobra owner. I have always wanted a Cobra and finally got it a few months ago. My granddad actually owned both a 5.0 and a camero when I was younger. Too bad he sold them before I got old enough to drive either.

I am a fan of cars in general. I just love fast cars. I was actually going to purchase a t/a when I graduated from school a few years ago but circumstances did not work out to allow me to get it. I settled for an Acura Rsx type s. I modded it a bit and for a 4banger it did pretty good up top. But, I out grow it and decided to get the car I always wanted—a Cobra.

I am still modding. I currently have a CAI, springs, and flowmaster exhaust. My next mods will include shifter, pulley, and tune. I may also change my exhaust and/or just get a o/r X-pipe.

Well, just had some time and wanted to introduce myself.

WELCOME! I know I'll get blasted on here for saying this, but if the '03/'04 Cobras were out in '00 when I bought my Z28, I probably would have gone Blue Oval. I'd LOVE to be able to kick heavily modded Supra *** (BPU++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++ ) with just bolt ons and weight reduction, and would take your ride over any Japanese import, even though most(?) on here would rather go rice than Ford! (if that was their only choice)

Yeah but there just the idiots, the Mustang and Cobra are fantastic cars. And I certainly hope and want to own one someday (along side my Fbody of course )

Welcome to the board. I would love to own an 03-04 Cobra someday. No matter what people say...I think just about everyone has a soft spot for the Cobra. 450+rwhp with $800-$1000 in mods? Cant argue with that.
