Well here it is. havent done anything to gain horsepower yet. So far i have lowered it, added origional, not replica, 1998 Cobra rims. new headlights, with HIDs. no other mustang with those headlights has the HIDs. i put a centerforce DFX clutch in it, with a steeda adjustable clutch cable. and some ford racing 9mm spark plug wires.
enough chit chat, time for some pics:
first, the photo from it at the dealership. just for reference...

the only changes from the 94-95s and the 96-98s is that the 96-98s taillights are different and the 94-95 had 5.0s instead of 4.6s

i'm just curious. there's a dealership out here that's offering an 04 svt cobra mustang for 10k out the door. it has 59k miles. is it worth buying? i put down 2k for a deposit to hold it for the next month just in case i want it, but i'm still looking. they ran a carfax and it's in pristine condition. not a scratch or swirl mark on it. it's been kept in a garage for most of it's life by some 70 year old that just died. the mileage is all highway cuz the guy drove it from here to shows out of the city. he has some work done to it. it has a supercharger, pulleys, an ecu chip, full catback exhaust system, rims, and tinted windows. i'm just wondering if i should go with it. i'm not a huge ford fan, but i think it looks and runs great. what do you guys think i should do? should i buy it? i have the money up front to purchase. that's why i gave a 2k deposit to hold it. :-?

Buy it man, 10k for a mustang, i would spend that. my big sisters 04 neon cost 10k used, and its not that great of a car. honestly, i'm not a huge imports fan, and i drive a mitsubishi. as long as you get a good deal, its alright. Its not gonna kill ou to drive a nice Ford and rape hondas all day.

10k normaly gets you a base mustang, buy the dam thing. then sell it for higher, and buy a Camaro. :lol: Supercharge that with the profit you make, and youll be tearing Supershelby a new one. :p
Just kiddin. Go get it, thats a killer deal

well, i bought it!!! and OMFG!!! the power is amazing. this thing is toooo much!!! so i'm sitting at the light right outside the dealer and who should come pull up beside me? a ****ing porsche 911 gt turbo!!! so i'm revving up just showin him up and as soon as the light turns we both burn up the intersection. we're neck n neck till i hit 2nd gear and i ****ing blew his *** away!!! i had him with about 4 car lengths before we hit a quarter mile. so we pulled up to the next light and he yells out the window, "i never thought i'd say it, but that's the first all american domestic that's smoked me!". so i thanked him and left. i get home and i'm looking at it from the outside and i'm just in love!!! i'm a chevy guy, but this mustang...OMFG!!! that's all i can say about it. i'm in love!!! and it's ford!!! i guess my next step would be rims, a sound system, maybe a belle. we'll see. it's supercharged, but i'm not sure what it is. the specs say it's pushing 22 pounds so i was wrong the first time. i don't care what it is. this thing is monstrous. i'm going to take pics and some vids of it soon. i want to race some 4 cylinder toys and show the WORLD that v8's are number 1!!! and i don't give a **** what anyone says, no ricer pushing juice or anything at that, will EVER top a fully aspirated v8. EVER!!!!!

Now go buy some stock mustang body panels, and take off all SVT body parts, swap them, and you gotta sleeper. Cut the exhaust short before the bumper so they dont show, and scare some rice. :D
BTW, its not naturally aspired, its forced induction, ;)

Electric exhaust cut outs, invest in them. Get a muffler that kills the sound. Keep it quite while your driving, but when it comes time, flip the swich the cut outs open and let that open exhaust breath.

****!!! thanks guys!! i'm going to look into the electric exhaust cut off thing. i like all the panels and the way it looks. i might just remove the badges. i thnkit's a custom color. it's midnight blue. it looks to be glossy. looks great though!!!

midnight blue....hmm.....sounds like u have a Mystichrome Cobra....you would be really lucky 2 have that color

04-18-2007, 06:46 PM
The whole bumper kits give the car away. Or alteast have a spare pair of black ones (mis matched, MORE SLEEPER, lol) for when you feel the need to scare the rice.

i don't know. it looks great though. how would i find out??? i called the dealership. they said it's a stock color. so it's not custom. and i was actually thinking of getting a body kit for the cobra too. something not too crazy, but not stock either. and i'd swap it out every now and then. one of those clip on kits that goes over the stock kit. costs about 900. it's pretty nice. that would be enough to scare some ricers!!!

since your cobra is blue its either Mystichrome or Sonic Blue....or u could look on the window sticker in the car

it's supercharged, but i'm not sure what it is.
Eaton M112.
Saying you outran a porsche on the road doesn't mean your car is faster than a porsche. Porsche's are definitely the most difficult car to drive to it's limit. and 90% of the people who own them have never taken a driving class....and therefore don't have a clue.
that said, Cobra's are pretty impressively fast cars out of the box. Mustangs are without a doubt one of the easiest cars to just get in and drive fast without experience or training.

Yea, before i go the car it was in a minor accident that wasnt claimed on the insurance. I checked the carfax on this car before i bought it, and it showed no accidents. So the people that got into the accident knew someone that could repair it cheap, and well, it shows. I have a painter lined up to paint the car after i have enough money saved up. He is going to fix all the dents/dings in the car, and realign all the body panels. whomever "fixed" the car did not do a good job of it at all.
