Haha, go ahead, if he's up for it! Does he give you the whole Ford vs Chevy thing?

My grandpa on my mom's side (Who I can't stand) keeps telling me about how great Fords are, because he has a 93 4banger Mustang automatic... he always rips on chevy's, even though he knows little to nothing about cars. One day, I'm gonna forget that whole "respect your elders" thing and just tear him a new *******.

The 04's are basically identical to the 03's aren't they?

Hot car btw ... I bet it flys too.

So, how badly do you want to crush his ego? With the new car and all, it would be devastating. He'd have to go see a shrink when you'd be done with the slaughter.

Hey, SuperMario, have you taken him for a spin in your ride?
Take him and hopefully you can find a Crustang to kill with him as a witness!

Just go for a ride in his car and tell him it feels almost as fast as your car. Then go race him and blow his doors off. By you telling him it will be close he will be all pumped up for a race, but will probably give up after 1st gear. Lmao, Have fun.

Is it a Cobra or a GT? That makes a big difference.

Big isn't a strong enough adjective to describe the differnence between a GT and a Cobra.

No offense or anything guys, but I don't think his car would have too much trouble at all with a stock '04 Cobra...

My '03 Cobra made 394rwhp with a K&N filter. I'm sure the 04's will be the same or better. There's talk of better heads on the 04...not sure if there's any truth to that or not.

i can find that one out for you. my grandpa is going to buy a competition orange 04 cobra because he likes the color (and that is the only reason why.). im sure he is not going to buy it and just purchase another 04 F-350 king ranch 6.0 power stroke.

he already owns a F-350 king ranch, two new ford thunderbirds. both the 2002 models. and one 04 F-150 lariat super crew FX4
