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 with a blower

 

Im from indianapolis 2 go colts.

 

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.

 

all that you have read is true...they are nasty cars and it doesnt take much to make them faster...

 

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.

 

Your car looks SICK

 

^ thank you.

 

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.

 

Im not a Mustang fan either, but if I ever had the money i'd get a corvette or 03/04 Cobra (of course id keep my F-bod though) Just as long as you stay away from your good to go

 

I love the black wheels now that I see them. I almost went with those, but didn't. Nice man!!!

 

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

 

there is something about hearing the blower screamin that makes you forget its a mustang....i wouldnt mind owning one...it would have to be a vert though...

Cars that sound like blenders are the coolest.

Thanks about my rims, im real happy with how they turned out. I was gona go with some TTII"s and powder coat them, then saw these came out and saved some $ $ $.

 

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!
