-constantly challenged on the street by every douchebag in a pickup, old man in a caddy, and various four cylinder driving wannabee types

-people see you rollin and they be hatin every ****ing time

-not being able to drive the speed limit, ever! no matter how hard you try

-righteous kills always blocked by having family in car

-having to drive the other slow car

-people coming up to you and saying stupid shit about Mustangs ALL THE TIME

-if you are over 30 the judgmental attitude of your friends, family, and coworkers; "Oh man is that a mid life crisis or are you compensating for something? That thing looks expensive..." Yeah it costs a lot less than the MINIVAN that YOU roll in bitches... :rollseyes

-everyone in your neighborhood recognizes you from a mile away cops included
If you are over 30 and you act or speak how you type. I can see where all your problems come from

Probably just the fact that I make myself spend more time than I should on the car. Takes me twice as long to do anything on the 03 versus my other cars because I'm more worried about something going wrong.

I wish the driver's side seat track was longer. Seems there was more room in my 02, it had the base manual seats.

- Tight Piston clearance

this wouldnt be an issue if the tune is at 11.5:1 or richer, with a safe timing curve.


My least favorite thing is rattles/buzzes/squeaks from the interior, but thats to be expected with any Mustang. I generally dont have people trying to race me or show off, unless i dont notice it anymore. It turns heads but thats about it. I dont get hassled by the popo even though im paranoid as **** most the time if i see them (i run a catless exhaust in cali which = bad) and clutch in or upshift so they dont hear the exhaust as i drive by them.

I hate the fact that people bitch about a car that is FAR AND AWAY the best 30K car ever made.

Just think, an 03/04 cobra costs less than your nicely equipped Honda Accord. :bash:

I say kudos to Ford, and Mr. Colleti, a beer on me anytime.

:beer:

any negatives are FAR outshadowed by the pluses of owning the car, but my least favorite things would be:

- weight
- eats the brakes/tires quickly (in part a by product of weight)
- cannot plant the power in stock trim (wheelhop)

that's about all i can think of!

i cant believe how many people are mentioning the interior creaks and rattles. Granted, mine only has 10k miles on it but honestly pulling in and out of driveways i got more creaks and noises out of my C6 Corvette than i do with my 04 Cobra. I bought the C6 brand new and i was really surprised....too much plastic i guess. Maybe alot of these guys do not have sub-frame connectors or something but my 04 is pretty solid.

One of the most "annoying questions" I ever got was; "Hey is that a stock convertible from the factory or did you modify it to be a convertible?"

Yeah man, I took a ****ing sawzall to it in the garage and made it into a mad tyte vert yo... :nonono:

lol dude, I get that too, only because ppl often mistake my Cobra for my GT and vice versa.
