New Ride *EDIT* COBRA IS GONE!

Well I was doing some searching on Autotrader at work this morning and found a car I’ve been looking for for quite some time. 2004 Mustang Cobra Convertible. Only 6,400 miles. I paid more than I originally wanted to spend but a building is closing on friday so my bonus should cover the majority of the car. I kept the IS300 as my DD. The car is awesome and completely mint condition. I have 3 days to return it if theres any reason I’m unhappy so if anyone has any advice on major defects to look for please let me know. Also what can I do to stiffen up the chassis a little on the highway? She gets a little shaky around 65-70. I attributed that to the soft top but I’d like to stiffin it up if I can. Thanks guys. Heres 1 pic I snapped at the dealer on my phone. Enjoy!

haha if these couple deals come through soon I’ll have a black WS6 next to it in the garage don’t worry. I want to start my car collection before my wife gets pregnant. Also I think the shake is because of a tire imbalance now that I’ve driven it a little more. Whoever put the new tires on at the dealer used pound on weights on the outside of the rim too. :picard: Hopefully they didn’t scratch it to hell. I’m going to make them road force it infront of me and use tape weights so I can make sure its good. Theres an extended warranty and maintenance plan good through 2011 through Ford so I’m not too worried. I also got a 5 year 60k warranty through CarMax so I’m covered no matter whats wrong with it basically. More pics up later.

when is the kenny bell goign on ? or TT kit

16

lol shakey at 65? thats so weak

regardless, should be a fun car

Check to see if you are missing a wheel weight…i had one fall off and it was terrible at over 55. Once i had it rebalanced it fixed it. Also, look into sub-frames and lowering the car…it’ll help tighten everything right up

18

prob a wheel out of balance

19

or it may have something to do with the fact that the car is nearly 4 years old and has only been driven 6,400 mile, rebalancing those tires would be a good idea

arent weld-inframe ties popular on fox bodies? id imagine that would be good for soft top car. vehicles.

you mind sharing how much you got it for?
