03 Cobra vs 04 Cobra
- Thread starter Addicted2Fun
- Start date
I believe 04 is the only way you could get the charcoal inserts. 03 had charcoal seats and gray inserts.
Nearly all 04s have more spark plug threads, I have a January build date and mine does.
EDIT cat comment : WRONG! SORRY!
One of the most awesome colors, Sonic blue, isn't available on 04s.
04 PCM tune is different and very few had the stall.
Seat centers have different availability of colors and leather types.
04 has been de-contented:
Doesn't have the trunk cargo net,
No roof map/cargo thingie (I don't even know what one looks like),
Door lock cylinder cover is a plain stainless GT/V6 cover instead of black.
Antenna is stainless also not black, I believe 03s are black.
There may be more but that's all I can think of right now, check out Cobra Bob's web site and FAQs.
They are both a truly fantastic modern day muscle car with fantastic cornering and braking ability for such a simple archaic front suspension design. Ride and creature comforts are decent, IRS goes a long way in seeing to that.
The engine is an ANIMAL! Tiny little forged bottom end 281 cu/inch Roots blown beast that feels stronger than a 408 built SBF except it idles smooth as glass.

And that about sums it up.
Agreed with the earlier post saying the 04s are few thousand more...but I went ahead and got a meticulously owned 03 with very low mileage...
You could go with ethier one man...there same car...awesome car's!!!!
03's are faster because Ford wanted the anniversry year to be better than the follow up.
oke:
03's also have the AWESOME net thingy on the head liner that is absolutely useless, but adds about 40 RWHP:rockon:
Just kidding... Coming from what you last drove, you can't go wrong with either year. Find a good, well maintained 03/04 and enjoy it. You won't notice any of the differences and passing one that would other wise be a good deal, based on the year alone, will only make you kick yourself in the end.

dont have to buy a head cooling mod for the 04
???
If you are referring to the tick then you should know that the 03 and 04 can get that. Also Mach's. . .
What I have noticed is 03 clutch is harder to push in , shifter feels better and the seats are more comfortable and also that the battery is different 03 has a sticker on top and 04 doesn't. My 04 has 9500 miles on it and my friends 03 10th has 40,000 and I like the way all the above feels in his care better than mine.
negative, the 04's came with the gray inserts as standard but dark charcoal was an option
most 04's were built with that option
Dont the 04's have the revised heads already on them also?
I went with a late run 04, I think run number 38XX for the simple reason I figured ford would have ironed out all the bugs by then, and sure enough I haven't had any of the issues other people complain about. Knock on wood.

'03 10th package has the coolest stock seats/Interior package out of them all hands down.:rockon: IMO
Ever seen the interior of a mystichrome? It might be cooler than the 10th anniversary......
Well obviously stay away from the 03's because they make the owners say some wierd things. Must be from some serious exhaust leaks because I heard the assembly line air compressor wasn't putting out the right amount of psi for the pneumatic tools it was running. From what the guy told me the damn cars might just fall apart.
I mean where do these 03 owners come up with these stupid claims:shrug:? That's why I didn't get one:burn:.
Just go find you a nice Redfire 04 and you'll be set.:thumbsup:

There is no difference that MATTERS. Put it that way
The numbrer of spark plug threads matters. Other than that , I agree
Old men drive corvettes, get it right. Young punks drive cobras, havent you checked ls1tech lately.
False ;-) '04 Redfires FTW
