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! ![http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e325/Boomin99GT/MyCobra.jpg](http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e325/Boomin99GT/MyCobra.jpg) ---

Not really a convertible guy (well, soft top at least), but I can’t knock a Cobra either. Congrats on the purchase and enjoy! ---

[quote=“FormulaLS1,post:13,topic:40184"”] We had this long talk about TA vs Cobra and you let me down ☹ [/quote] 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. ---

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 ---

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 ---
