Id have to agree with you. Theyre bad ass for sure, but they aint ALL THAT in my opinion

I agree. They are badass cars, & have good power with OEM reliability, but they are very "cookie cutter" IMO. I would rather have a BUILT & unique Mach 1, 94-04 GT, 94-01 Cobra, or Notch IMO. I just like stuff that's different, unique, & stands out from the pack. I know my mach is nowhere near what an 03/04 Cobra is performance wise, but it turns just as many, if not more heads than any 03/04 Cobra I have seen around this area.

Hmmm, lets see how long it takes for 50 deep to reply LOL...

Exactly what I was thinking... something "different" thats just as fast/reliable as a termi.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot, the other good thing about 03/04 Cobra's is being able to make massive HP & being able to pass smog...

But, with those massive amounts of power, they still aren't running very impressive times at the strip for the amount of power they are making if they are still in full "Terminator" trim. With an SRA swap, the times get better, but a basic HCI fox, with an S trim or a shot will easily outrun most pullied terminators at the strip, & on the street...

myself being an 03 cobra owner, i do agree, i catch myself turning my head at nice MACH's all the time, but then again it seems the only time i see other cobras is when i go visit AED! Thats why im not on here all the time "bragging" bout my cobra, i think its fast, but always someone faster and who can drive better, mine makes 533rwhp and all i have to do is switch mid pipes to pass smog!

I see many more Cobra's on a daily basis than I do Mach 1's. I probably see 3 Mach 1's for every 10 Terminator's I see, but then again, they built more Cobra's than Mach's.

As far as any other built 4.6 pushing 500+ hp, & passing smog, it can be done with a 2V, or even a Mach 1, as long as they are built with carb legal parts, & still can have the factory midpipe bolted up, it shouldn't have any issues passing smog...


Don't get me wrong, 03/04's are bad@$$ cars, & I respect what they are, but I'm just tired of all the hype....

I have never had any of these problems with my cobra. people usually have those problems when they abuse them or get fucked up tunes etc..... any car can be made to go fast if you have the money to spend on it. 04 cobras are cool but, it's still just a mustang so you get what you pay for... you pay more for zo6's vipers etc for a reason...

I like how they are referred to as cookie cutter and yet every mustang ever made is mass produced. So I don't get how cobras are any more cookie cutter than the next. We just saw an exact clone of epik's mach on CL a few monts ago. And cmon Dustin, when you drove my car you even said you would have rather bought one than be that deep financially into yours.

Sydwaysix even said in his for sale thread he would buy a termi if he could afford it. And with all the cars you have been through I guess none of them were "all that" in your opinion.

8stang8 has a bad ass fox, but one he can't easily smog or park wherever he wants. Nor resale for what he has into it. For all you've built the wheels are still worth more than the car and the car is worth more in pieces. And will get pennies from an insurance company if ever wrecked/stolen.

Threethirty1's comment says it all. He is out hunting for 03/04 cobras to beat. Not foxes, not mach 1's, not saleens or even 96-01 cobras. Because people measure their cars against 03/04's and not vice versa

I guess if loving a 600 rear wheel capable car that can pass smog with a 6 speed, IRS, an Eaton, blow ice cold ac and drive across country while having a resale value of 20k plus is a bad thing then I'm a sure sucker

I would suggest all that don't jjock them go drive a bone stock one on a daily basis for 30 days. Then go jump in your modded or unmodded current mustang and see if you don't reconsider how much you like them.

I've seen them go for 28k to 33k you just have to travel sometimes. I flew to LA for my HD truck with low ass miles . My girl is getting a CTSV in a few months and were flying out to AZ. For a CTS around 14k

Well I have to say I am biased right off the bat cause I own a 10th Anniversary 03 vert;however, I can honestly say that after 5 mustangs and having driven countless others this is my fav car by far and I'm not gonna lie Dustin I love your Mach but having a Cobra definately gets me more attention then any other stang I have ever had, plus knowing that you can drop the top, ride comfortably as hell cause of the IRS and still have a 400, 500, 600 HP car is awesome. I would't trade it for anything and I can afford a Shelby (not to sound like a dick)but I wouldn't spend the money on it, my Cobra new was 31k no new Shelby can touch that.

p.s. i know the new 5.0 stangs are dope. BUT, they are also fugly.

- T56
- IRS
- 600+rwhp potential with a blower swap and fuel
- All creature comforts you'd ever want

For someone that doesn't want to spend months or even years building their own project, the 03-04 Cobra is a nice alternative (and very attractive to me since I don't have time to build cars these days).

Personally I can't get myself to spend $20K on a Mustang, but i can certainly see the appeal. If I spend that kind of dough on a car, it's gonna be BMW/Z06...

---

for 20k you will get an old ass zo6 or an old ass bmw! 20k is really not alot of money to spend on a car nowadays. But hey, whatever makes you happy cause it's your money

LOL... Ok, I can't afford a Terminator? C'mon, I own 2 mustangs, I could easily sell my Mach & my Fox, & go out to jump in an allmighty Terminator. Better yet, I could just sell my Mach & get a Termi, & still keep my Fox, but the fact is, I don't want to. I like what I have, that is why i own it.... Yeah, maybe if I could go back in time, I would've bought a Termi instead of getting my Mach 1, but after owning the car for 4 years, I am attached to it, & wouldn't trade it for a Terminator...

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...

You know what I think is worse, it's not the Cobra it's the Cobra owner, I have had mine for years now and everytime I talk to some ahole at a car show with a Cobra, or a guy who wants one, it's always ah man you should get chrome 18" AFS 03's or FR500's and man you gotta get a Bassani exhaust and man you need a JLT Cold Air, I really think that's what people hate is some of the guys who own them. I mean shit log onto SVTperformance without 18" wheels and a Bassani and see what happens LOL

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.

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...

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.

---

Nope only 16,XXX Mach's produced in total.


19,XXX Cobra's produced total.

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.

I am a fan of the 03/04 Cobras. I admire the fact that they are so fast right off the lot. With minor bolt ons that car can get 550+ rwhp.
I think that we should distinguish between jocking and resecting the car. I do think that all Cobras look the same and that they sound simiar with the sc sound. But thats fine. Nothing wrong with that.
I own a 99 s-351 and turn heads where I go. I lke that my sc is whindy and my car is is unique # 32 out of 40. But my car is kinda cookie cutter bc you can't tell its a s-351 besides my plaque on the trunk and my wing. Oh of course when you pop the hood. Can't wait to get my car back from AED from a full overhaul on the engine. Saw yours there Epik.
sidenote- always get someone that knows what they are doin to work on your car or you will pay for it in the end. Like me. $$$$
I should have 550+ rwhp but we'll see. Just like the 03/04 Cobras. Power like that is tuff to get.

Well, I'm gonna end my part in this thread on this note, I respect 03/04 Cobra's. They look good, sound good, & perform good. 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?

Seriously, from my perspective, to each their own. Buy or build what you like - for you, not for your friends, your ex, your boys at the track, or whatever, for you. And if you want a Terminator, or think that a Terminator is the hottest thing since pornotube, then so be it. I love how the internet turns everyone into the phucking thought police.

i m here, surprised at how this thread blew up so quick. like I stated originally is that I like the style of the cobra and what the engine puts out, but i don't "JOCK IT" like some members seem to do. and thats fine, to each their own. and no i didnt go to the ls1 forums,, never, i went to the honda forums!

this thread is funny. it's turning into a little mustang civil war, lol. cafords is turning on each other.

almost every mustang that came off the factory line is a cookie cutter. there are a few rare ones that are untouchable, but for the most part we all drive "cookie cutter" mustangs. we're all in this hobby to be unique and this is where the fun is.

if i could afford it, i would have one of everything just because. bottom line is, let's all respect each others mustang and keep this hobby alive. if you're not john force, you really can't talk shit .

Thanks Dustin
I TRY not to talk shit lol there is always going to be someone faster. To me Its all about having fun and doing what you want with your own car.
I gotta get to the track a few more times to stay out of the "dyno king" category haha and get some real times

I did love my mach and would one day like to get another mach to park next to the cobra. Mach's are my 2nd favorite stang behind the 03/04, not including the classic's.

I just hate these threads , and people calling cobra's a dime a dozen or plain just to hate lol we all know thats not the case

I also agree with the people who would prefer to build their car... if that's your thing, more power to you! I for one made the choice to spend Cobra money on a car that I can build, to one day compete with a Cobra in horsepower, and kill the average 03-04 Dyno Queen/Strip jocky in any autocross/open track event, and still hang in a stoplight confrontation...

Everyone has different tastes and goals for their car. If being the fastest at the strip is your goal, a built fox is pretty much the way to go. if high rwhp numbers and the ability to pass smog rings your bell, 03-04 Cobra all the way. Can an 03-04 Cobra beat a built fox at the strip? YES... but it'll cost alot more money. Can a fox or GT make more smog legal horsepower than a Terminator? YES, but it'll cost you...

In the end, everyone buys what they like for their own reasons. wether it be Mustangs of different years, LSX powered GM products, or even imported rice burners...

if i had to chose between a built fox or a Terminator... it's Cobra all the way.

I have an 03 cobra so I guess im one of the lucky ones that can afford one. I love the car and everything but sometimes to me it feels a little bulky and heavy. I used to have an 89 notch and am currently in the market for another one. I'll tell you this if you put around 20k into a notch which is roughly how much good cobras are going for a terminator wouldnt come close to it. I love both cars so im not biased.

what does your car stock trap?

if you're going to start THAT argument, you should post stock for stock 04 Cobra vs. 04 CTS-V numbers....


that being said.....I'll take a CTS-V over a Cobra any day.....

---

I'm just stirring the pot. Lol

I trapped 111 consistanley a few Wednesdays ago...

---

I think my 6 1/2 cylinder cobra will take your cts-v no prob

---

well kind sir, is that a challenge? Let's set this up!

---

Oh yeah baby. But the cobra is goin in for work tomorrow. When I get it back though........ its feeding time

---

i'll see your pulley, and I'll raise you longtubes and no cats. Haha!

Hey Philly, no spray here, trust me. If I was id be going mid 9's. Id be happy to line up with your car at a grudge night if thats what you are implying. Glad to say i won't be one of the many you plan on dragging.

But, I do plan on driving this street/strip terror to the track to watch a TNT/Grudge sometime in August. I'll have to introduce myself and show you my car

Its getting a set of Fr500 cams.. Nothing too hefty since I still want it to drive smooth and be smoggable. Should boost my mid range and the upgraded springs will extend my power band a tad. Which ones you got in yours?

FR500's are about the worst cams for boost... the valve events suck for boost. youll get much better results with a the Ford GT/GT500 high lift blower specific cams, and my springs im selling would match perfect.

among other things, the FR500's have alot of overlap between the intake and exhaust (boost blowing right out your tail pipes, inefficient if you will...) not to mention the FR500's are designed for a higher revving motor. ie. a motor with a short runner manifold. the intake centerline is 109 on those i belive, a stock manifold you should try and stay around a ICL of ~114.

cams are something you want to do right the first time on a 4V. research, research, research!!...lol

I hope this article is enough research for you

http://www.insideline.com/ford/mustang-svt-cobra/2003/horse-power-fords-690-hp-svt-mustang-cobra.html

Fords already produced a 600rwhp terminator with fr500 cams, heads and a twin screw.

I can also tell you have listened to Na SVT too much on corral/svtp as he pretty much wrote what you did word for word. i already have comp cam springs and upgraded valves to accompany the increased lift and ported heads. The fr500 cams are not the best aftermarket cam available, but they will be more than enough to leave your cadi-last

I'm not saying the fr's won't make power, I'm saying that they will in no way be a good cam for a forced induction application, nor will they make max power that they could with the correct valve events. All I'm saying is if u don't have a fr500 dual plane manifold or a short runner manifold and will to rev it out to 7,5-800 rpm then u should be looking elsewhere.

And it's a caddi, isn't it supposed to be last??

Yeah scott I fell ya man. But when you come across brand new comp cams springs and FR500 cams fot $500 you can't pass it up.

From the research I've done camshafts don't have as great an effect on maximum power for positive displacement vehicles, the real power lies in the efficiency of the blower. Cam swaps where you see crazy gains from cams are not a reality for these vehicles. With stock cams, fuel and a whipple or kenne bell these motors see crazy power numbers. So for me spending an extra grand or more for 30-50 horses from cams would be a waste when that money towards a whipple will make much more difference. However for an NA application that would be a must.

+1 you can get brand new ford gt cams for 400 or so..if it was my car i would just upgrade the spings and leave the cams stock. not worth the cost, install and very minimal gains if at all.

---

Yeah a cam swap alone wouldn't be worth the labor. That's why you port the heads, pulley it and upgrade the valves/springs also
 

---

Posted by RED@7kVERT *8850GT* (Member # 5909) on :
 
Sounds like you got it all figured out...




a cam swap will give u more power than head porting. The stock cams can't flow what the C heads can flow. C heads are pretty bad ass heads in stock form. And if u don't plan on boosting upwards of 18lbs that all a cam swap (the wrong cams at that) and a head porting, assuming your going to have them hogged out is only going to disappoint you with very low tq numbers.

Now if you said you were doing springs, GT cams, valves... Ehh sure why not, and a simple gasket match and bowl clean up (because anything more would result in a huge drop in volumetric efficiency with an already bad ass head on a street motor). Then ide say you were on the right track. I'm in no way a modular expert, but me researching the absolute shit out of boosted, cammed, ported head 4v's, for the last 2 years... I know what's going on here lol

T it's all love man, no homo. Don't take it the wrong way

The light porting and bowl work being done is nothing major. So I don't plan to lose much in the way of VE. Also all the work I'm having done is recommended by shaun @ AED who has seen on a dyno what works and what doesn't. I can appreciate your advice and the research you've done, but I have no doubts in my source. The way you looked into building a high boosted masssive power cobra with your 01 is not the same approach I'm taking. The car I'm building is a street car, not a race car. Mild cams, a little port work and a whipple down the line is all I need. As long as this car makes 500 plus when I'm done I'm good

---

Ummm, of course I spent more than you did on your car. I bought it off the lot brand new 6 years ago You can get over 500rwhp by just adding a whipple. I already know you will never take it to the track. your a worse driver than I am lol! I bet if you just put a pulley and regular bolt ons you would be happy with your car. If your gettin a whipple I hope you plan on upgrading the injectors, Maf, bigger intercooler etc. which is gonna cost you even more money. You should have took that $500.00 and got those parts. especially if all you want is over 500rwhp. hell, you could get that with a ported blower lol! well, good luck man!

which would run seriously cheaper than cams,bigger blower,etc.Just get a steg ported blower,upgrade your maf,h/e, and pulley it you would be tampa stock and at your power goals for the price it would cost you to install the cams and other internal parts you mentioned.

Josh, I'm assuming you don't know the cobra had low compression in two cylinders due to bad valve guides from the factory. So the heads were being torn down and machined regardless. It cost me no extra to install the cams and very little to purchase them. So that's a moot point. You are right however, I COULD take another route to get the power I want and will already be close when I get it back. Simply put however I'm building the car the way I WANT to, not just the way I could.

Damani man your right, I am a worse driver than you and probably will not take the car to the track. But that's not why I bought it, and never advertised it as such. I purchsed my 03 cobra because I loved the car and always wanted one. And the way I have always wanted one was cammed and whippled so that's how it will be built.

Believe that if and when I do decide to race my car, I will come correct

Now, what good is being "cammed & whippled" if you don't plan on racing the car? That is the thing that boggles my mind about MOST Cobra owners. It seems its all about having the highest dyno numbers just to have bragging rights. Isn't this the same thing that people get on Supra owners about, essentially having "dyno queens"? Since these cars are so amazing from the factory, why not just have a lowered Cobra with exhaust & wheels, that looks, sounds, & drives nice??? What good is having 550+ rwhp if you won't be using it?

Posted by 04 S281 (Member # 9229) on :
 
I totally feel where you're coming from tho man... if cammed and Whippled was always the dream... then do it.

Plus, even tho 500rwhp is your goal now... you'll have the goods for more if you ever need to scratch that itch...

Because the norm for cobras is having good ass dyno numbers and disappointing time slips when for most cars its the other way around.

This is true, if I wanted a fast car I should have built a low 12 second Matrix

Since these cars are so amazing from the factory, why not just have a lowered Cobra with exhaust & wheels, that looks, sounds, & drives nice??? What good is having 550+ rwhp if you won't be using it?

---

For the same reason guys put a full road race suspension on their car and never auto cross it.

Simply because they can.

I didn't set out to build a road race car, I bought coilovers to dial in my desired stance. I bought the k member because I needed to install a new clutch, & since I have Mac LT's, the K member needed to be dropped to do the clutch. Once everything was off, there was no sense on reinstalling the bulky stock K member. Yeah MM suspension is good for road racing, BUT it is also very durable on the street & the strip, this is why I have it on my car.

My car will be making an appearance at the drag strip most likely next week BTW...

---

sick im going to be taking my stang out as well hopefully and see what it can do with the new set up. hope to see you there man .

and T i dont mind trading keys for a little bit. i like they way cobras drive

Ahhh so we agree, you can buy parts designed for racing but use them for other reasons.

If you slide out with the full slicks though that thing should run well. Just don't let moises drive since he likes snapping axles. And if guys want some subway sandwiches id be glad to take the keys.

Yo I hope nobody gets butt hurt over this shit talking. I love you guys

T, if you got these wheels in a 18x9/18x11 variety, you sir would shut down this site for a week. If you got BBS RK Plasmas, you'd shut it down for 6 days. If you got Chrome Saleen Reps(like me), I will skip over your thread without an ounce of hesitation.

Sweet, that would be sick. I need some rolling shots, but I will have slicks on the rear when I go to the track though...

---

No problem, we'll take what we can Wednesday. Then figure out another time when the car is back to normal trim to take some more.
