A 03-04 Cobra was my first choice while I was looking for a car. I also had my eyes out for a nice SS with low miles. I must admit after driving the Mach 1 and seeing the shaker from the drivers seat....it was over for me.
I do wish that the Mach's had a forged bottom end like the Cobra's motor but I suppose our motors are still safe for 8-10psi boost.
Nevertheless, I will be the first to say that the post in this thread are by far the most mature/respectful that I have ever read while in a forum. Kudos to everyone that posted for keeping it real.
Mach On!

Man Cobras are the ****. I love my W-S dot 6, but my buddy's Snake is ****** mean man... Diablo chip, complete Bassani exhaust, and some Steeda suspension goodies, and the fact that it only cost him 5000 more than what I paid for my ride (22,000)
Much respect for the Bra.

Speaking of the 03-04 Cobras much repect as I am 1-1 in racing cobras, My first meet was in June of 2004 on I-40 about mid way through BFE Arizona. I was driving across country from Charleston, South carolina to West Hollywood,California to drop off my friend from there to Chico California. Cross country trips are great any won who's ever done one can allways talk about a good high way race or in my case 4 to 5. Any how I just finished the mods to my WS6 and I was cruisin at about 100mph the speed limits are 75 by the way on that interstate. When all of the sudden this 03 comes out of no where rips past so fast/loud it made me literally jump, So I reach down grab 4th and pace him just to see how fast he is going. He finally stops pulling me at about 135mph. Theres some traffic ahead blocking both lanes and naturally he slows down and I catch up to him. Every body knows how there is allways that one car or truck that has to pull out and make their slow as pass with their cruise on when if they had waited 20 secs longer we would have been gone. But in this case I'm glad this car did. So I get behind this Cobra doing about 60mph and every LS1 guys knows that we are the underdog here so I reach down and put the TA in 3rd my buddy looks over and says hey there's enough room in the right lane between the row of Trucks were passing for you to make it, so of course I go for it and get around the Cobra and slow, car finish passing the trucks and it smooth sailing so I move over to the Right lane put the TA in 4th and just wait sure enough here comes that Cobra pulling up as I'm watching the side view. So down my peddle goes @ about 90mph are were off I matched his speed and exceleration right as his rear bumper is at my front we stay right there up to 120mph I grab 5th gear and were still on get to about 140 and I just bearly start to creap up on him about 155mph we are right side by side and I am slowly gaining. I grap 6th look at my tach and its only at 3,300 RPM's so I jam the gas again Finally I pull about 2 cars and he starts dropping off quicker so he has obviously let off so I do to look at the tach one last time its at 4000 in 6th with the stock 3.42s as we brake back down to some what civilized speeds I give him a thumbs up. Me and my buddy pull onto the next rest stop and he follows me in. We talk for a few minutes and go on our way. The whole time after this high speed run I'm literally shaking especially when I pushed in the clutch, that was the first time I ever had the car over 135. So thats my first run with a 03-04 Cobra. The second time I wasn't so lucky I ran into a guy on highway 64 in Virginia putting 648HP to the ground and he sucked the TA in the its intake and spit my poor beaten car back out his exhuast that was about a 40mph to holy *!?. that car is insanely fast I didn't even bother going over 100mph he already had me by at least 6 cars!
So once again its back to the lab and the only way I can compete is with nos or boost, Dont take this wrong for all you Nos guys but I dont believe in it so its forged internals and and intercooled t-60 with about 14psi for me. So there's my kill and death buy the mighty Cobra. Hope you all enoyed the story.

This is actually a cool discussion b/t mustang guys and f-body guys, on most forums each car group would be hardcore-bashing the other, props to everyone.
BTW-i'm a mustang guy at heart (going on my 6th), but i still love the ls1's (and DEFINATELY respect their power and potential)

"AMERICAN MUSCLE - Birds of a feather flock together." That's a good motto to go by when an american muscle fan. Let's stick together and not fight with each other, but rather our import enemies. At least that's how I see it. I don't gotta problem with Ford or Mopars, even though GM is atop my list of american cars. I am born american, drive american and will die american. Never will you see me in an import.
