It's for sale too.






I think 96-98 Cobras, lowered, with chrome Saleen rims are the best looking modern Mustangs

Get the 03 04 Cobra worst case scenario if you don't like it sell it and buy 3 f body's or a nice used late model zo6.

For the price, you can't even buy the parts/mods done to this car, let alone the car itself, assembled, running and tuned condition. I'm losing money on it at this price, but I don't care. I just want to sell it so I can get the wife something else to drive and I don't have to hear it anymore. lol.

I have a full mod list and more pics if you are seriously interested. Not trying to hijack the thread.

I would never own anything with a modular motor. Just my .02

This is why:

My dad owns a performance machine shop and when I was looking at GT mustangs he called me a dumb@$$. I'm super glad I went with an LS1 now

So no LS1 has never had issues or a failure before?

FYI, thats a known problem among Mustang owners. My car has updated 04 heads and the "fix" done.

Saying you would never own this or that, is blind brand loyality ignorance. Hot rods have problems, it comes with the territory and the hobby.

How could it be ignorance when I say I wouldn't own one? I think I'm the only one that can say whether I would or not. What turns me off about the car is that ford knew it was a problem and left it for you to 'fix.' sure car companies always do that, but this seems like a big one.

Mustangs are obviously very popular hot rods. Like I said before, it's my .02. Just because you own a mustang doesn't mean you have to get offended and go on a rant if I say I don't want one.

I also never said anything about "no Ls1 ever having a problem." you made that up. And I'm definitely not saying its a secret. Of course it's known.

i would of called you a dumbass for lookin at gt's too.. a gt does not compare to a cobra though, in no way... as far as the spark plugs, mine was an 03 and never had problems, nor with any of my other cars.

I don't feel like someone saying that they would never choose a cobra is being a dumbass because you can't have infinite vehicles. If I could just have two of everything, sure I'd take a cobra. But I would always choose a ls powered vehicle over it. And there are plenty to choose from.

And to the people who have never blown a sparkplug out of their heads (which I'm sure are way more than have), good. I hope you never do.

I guess a big difference is that mine is a daily driver. I'm sure I am in a different situation than TArunner is in, but the LS engine is just more reliable and I don't have a backup car to get to work. So I suppose if it's a toy car, and it sounds like it is, just get whatever you want.

I still say Ws6 though to answer the question. And I would obviously choose the vette over the Ws6, but that's not an answer choice.

You do understand that the vast majority of the taxis/limos/police cruisers made in the past decade or so have been powered by mod motors, right? And they routinely go 400k+ miles. They definitely are not "unreliable"

You do realize they make inserts to fix this. I was pushing 14 lbs. of boost on the lightning and never had an issue. Then again the 03 lightning had 8 threads per plug instead of 4. It's mainly an issue with the trucks/triton motors not mustangs.
