Just want to be 100% certain that we are talking about Ford Mustang here, the most cookie cutter car in the history of the automobile industry. Identifying which cookie cutter model is the most cookie cutter is funny, LOL

---

Of course every Mustang is "Cookie Cutter", but what I meant from my statement was, when you go to a car show, or a cruise in, or the track, everyone has an 03/04 Sonic Blue Cobra with a whipple & 18" Chrome Cobra wheels. What sets them apart from other Cobra's?

Whats more cookie cutter, a wingless Bright atlantic Blue 2000 GT with a built motor, Turbo, 95 R hood, & 18" CCW's, or a Sonic Blue Cobra with a whipple & 18" Cobra wheels?

Hell, if Damani & Terrance were parked next to 1 another, I wouldn't be able to tell their cars apart. LOL...

Mine has polished exhaust..... and has full compression!.... I think?

The whole cookie cutter thing that Epik is speaking on is put like this. 99% of 03-04 Cobras look identical. Since they were produced with great looking exterior body parts from the factory. So when u show up to a meet, car show, track etc. your Cobra will not be set apart looks wise from the next one. But Everyone knows Epiks Mach because it stands out from the rest and is unique from other 99-04 GT, Bullit, or Machs. You can spot it a mile away. I pride myself on being unique, which is why I like my Fox so much, there aren't any clones! But there are thousands of Black 03-04 Cobras that look the same as my 03. With all these Sac cats getting Cobras now im gonna have to do something to mine to set it apart.

you should put staggered 100 spokes on it.

I will trade u my "Cookie Cutter" FR500's for some 5 times gold 100 spokes!

The 03/04 SVT Cobra is one of the few mustangs designed with a dedicated front bumper, side skirts, scoops, hood and rear bumper. Maybe with saleen being the exception. No other specialty mustang be it Bullit, Mach1, GT, 40th Anniversary or Roush have their exclusive parts. They are all based off of a GT or v6 and share their components. The fact you don't see 03/04's all kitted is because ford designed them well. When was the last time you saw a ferrari, porsche or vette with a wild body kit or interchanged components that didn't look funny? You don't because the factory did an outstanding job and they are easy to make look outstanding. No need to swap spoilers, hoods. Bumpers, lights.

Streakmatt is a prime example. He had to put countless hours into body work and changing the entire look of his fox from the way it came stock in order to make it stand above any other mustang. When all terminators needed is a set of H&R's and some ccw classics to grace a magazine cover.

So while everyone else butchers their uniqe mustangs by swapping in terminator bumpers, mirrors, spoilers, IRS, brakes, motor, paints and transmissons, I will gladly represent the mold others try so hard to pull from.

** now don't get me wrong. I don't think terminators are the end all be all to mustangs or engineering. And I'm not cocky now that I own one. But I am extremely happy with the car I've chosen and will fill you in on why all day**

LOL. Naw its just a lil freindly beef...


I guess I butchered my Mach 1 by putting mustang mirrors that came factory on 40th anniversary GT's & Terminators? Hmmm, I guess the 2 piston caliper PBR brakes that came factory on my car, Bullitt's, & on Cobra Mustangs since the 93 R, now are considered Terminator brakes? Actually, they 1st appeared on C4 Corvettes back in the 80's lol.

Yeah, I do have a TERMINATOR spoiler on my car, but that was the 1 part of the Mach I couldn't stand was the ugly black spoiler, so you got me there.


Note the "TERMINATOR" mirrors on this 40th anni GT...

The fact you can make 1000RWHP on a stock cobra engine alone should be the main reason to get one. The 03 cobra is still one of the best mustangs ever made.

yep agreed. and agree with Terrance. only 5500 cobras or so made in 04.Think it was like 12 or 14k in 03. thought they made 10-15k machs each year? I had an 03 mach when it first came out.

Read the sig...

If you consider a kit car one that was designed on a cad drawing with 4" tube steel chassis correcting all the short commings of a "real" cobra. Coil over suspension fuel inected 5 speed 13" brakes etc etc then I guess yes it is a "kit"

Although a "kit car" is techically one you use per say a fiero under and throw a lambo shell on to. Or the cobra 289's from britain that used like an amg lower frame and you just threw a "cobra" shell.

All of the owners I have met on here are super cool like FstRyde3, 04Cobra408, & EastBay50 to name a few. Its mainly the cocky ass owners that look down on my car because its still in the 300rwhp club that annoy me. That might be the reason I get so heated when this debate comes up from time to time. I have'nt really had that experience with anybody on this site, but on other forums & at meets.

Truth be told, I like my car for what it is & Im happy with it, that is what matters to me. All you 03/04 Cobra owners are happy with your cars & thats all that matters right?

well put brotha! if didnt have an 03 cobra, i would be more than happy with 300rwhp car!! we all have different taste,wants, & needs! I respect many cars low and high hp numbers!
