yes, i can see where the ear shattering growl of a ford v6, could seal the deal, when buying a car. My wifes taurus did the same thing for me.

i don’t understand why you would want cobra everything…and not have a cobra. And instead of investing thousands into this project you should have just bought a cobra, and had a really sharp car

…just a few inches thinner.

It’s not a V6. As far as the cobra parts go, well first off they practically give away the IRS setup cuz all anyone wants to do is drag race. Prsonally I like my cars to do everything well. The hood, well shit, it’s a cool hood. The buy in is a lot cheaper, and the work isn’t difficult so why pay all the extra for a cobra. Just so you can say you’ve got one? Who gives a fuck. At the end of the day it’s his car, and as long as everything goes as planned it should be pretty damn nice.

There are few 5.0’s that i have heard that sound just right. But the ones that do sound awesome. It takes just the right kind of exhaust, cams, and timing… working on that as well.

Actually they sell for $800-$1200 so its not exactly a giveaway. I also have to put at least that much more into it to get it right.

> [@Mr. Beckington](#):

> what he wrote

Beck, I’ll humor you somewhat to help you understand.  
03 Cobra is a good car, hands down. It’s also $40 Grand.

-First off I was not in a position to spend that much. I could have but it would not have been stupid because I would be stuck with a stock car and no $$ left for customizing.

-Second I would not spend $40 grand on a Mustang that still needs $15+ grand of work to get it where I want it. For 40G’s I would have bought a nicer car.

-Third, anyone with money can buy the car and they all are pretty much the same. I want something that stands out. I customize the shit out of my cars because I want them a certain way. I dont do it to impress anyone but myself.

-Fourth and **Most Important** : If I had bought a 99-02 Cobra, These are the parts I would have to get rid of: (not rebuild but GET RID OF) Engine, Transmission, Driveshaft, complete IRS rear end (weak version), entire front and rear suspensions, brakes, front/rear bumpers, seats, shifter, abs, ect.

Basically I would buy a Cobra and gut the entire thing?? Well I can get a GT THATS EXACTLLY THE SAME CAR for $5 Grand less and do the same thing… guess which one I chose. $5000 is still $5000 that went into custom work and parts.  
MOST people that talk about Cobras have no fucking clue what differentiates the 99-02 Cobras from the GT’s and from the 03-04 Cobras.  
Most people that talk have no idea what the fuck a Cobra is. They just talk… Its just ignorant banter so I ignore it.

I’m not going to pay $5000 for exactly the same starting point just so people that dont know what the fuck they are talking about can say ooooh Cobra.

Because the Factory 03/04 Bumbers come like that. The 03+ bodywork looks the best and that is all thats wort putting on a Mustang. If you can find me a urathane cover that looks like a 03 without the COBRA embossed in the back they I will buy it.

Does that explain it?

then why do u have a cobra rear bumper, edit - why not just fill it in then, u are doin a lot bigger job to the car, cutting it in half, why not just fill in COBRA

5.0s all sound the same, which is nice, its the bigger 5.0s that sounds sweet

This was my philosophy for the longest time. but now, yeah. I suckered out, but i totally agree a modded car is 100 times sweeter than a stock equivalent that equals it performance-wise.

but i am just too jaded for the project car scene… for now… i disagree with your take on looks tho, and “having a cool car”, yeah, you like performance, but you also like to break necks. tdown for :that:, but :tup: for DIY. I just bought a really cool car, but only because I want to drive it…
