05 MUSTANG/COBRA..yay or nay??

[ROSENDO SANCHEZ]

I think this car is awseome, but there's a wide range of opinions. What do you think??

MODS.. edit to ''Its O.K., but I hope it grows on me.''

It will be mine. Oh yes, it will be mine.

Just got back from the NAIAS, took a quick run to see the concept. I think it looks a lot better in person than photos.

Ford had 4 Cobra's, a Mach 1, SVT Focus, '03, '04 Lightning's, the GT, and a Shelby 500KR. And the other concepts discussed.

Worth a trip IMHO.

Gorgaeous !!!!!!!!! Me wants one bad !

Exterior - Must Have
Interior - Ikk

Needs different wheels, but I can change that.

 

[Venmus]

You can bet there will be one of those in my garage in 05.

 

[IUP99snake]

I dont like the way the round headlights look inside the front chrome reflectors... they definately need to take care of that...

I will definately have one, but I'll wait till prob 2006 model year and hope they've released a cobra in that platform by then. I'm kinda spoiled with SC'ed Cobras and don't really want one that's not SC'ed.

I agree, I like the styling and with a few tweaks it will be stellar! I'll probably wait unitl 2006 as well but I think there will be a Cobra in 2005 but we will have to wait and see

Must resist....look away...look away...

 

[Orange Poison]

I hated the idea of the retro look...but it's growing on me though...I still like my '03 better.

 

[TrueBlue'01GT]

I wonder what Saleen and Roush are going to do with that car?

 

[Yell98CobraVert]

If this 05 car is produced for the SVT Cobra and has the horse power to slam me in the leather, then I have got to say goodbye to my 98 yellow Cobra convertible.

 

[Venmus]

I just thought of something. If they produce this car as an 05 model year, why would anybody buy an 04? Maybe they will skip 04 Cobra production like they did 02?

 

[95Proof]

I think the car is beautiful. I will be waiting until 2006 also. Let them get the bugs out first. I am sure there will be a few. Hopefully the dealer mark up craze will die out in the first year also. A car may be worth every penny of MSRP - but never over in my opinion - they spend way too much time pricing these things to not make a fair profit.

IMHO, I think Saleen and Roush are kind of overbaked these days. SVT has it over them. SVT does a nice clean job that is just right. Saleen and Roush make their cars look like something a 16 year old would do after picking up all the magazines and then ordering all the aftermarket dress up items...which I do not care for. The last time I saw a new Saleen at the dealership, I looked at the hood. It was low quality and had all kinds of waves in the fiberglass/composite. It really looked Cheesy. I then looked at a new Cobra vert's hood that was parked right next to it - the quality was in a different league - plus it was not overbaked. Just my two cents though.

I like it for the most part other than the tailight setup. I would rather see less rear area covered by their current style of tailights or go w/vertical "Tri Bar" design.

Also if the new design is going to be a 2 seater, I don't know why they keep raising the weight of the car, as Ihave read that it could be a couple hundred pounds heavier.WTF??

I do like the rumor of a 6speed auto "paddle shifter" option for our Cobras. (ie. Jag "S-type,Ferrari 360 F1,etc.)

 

[torchred03]

Love the exterior
Interior needs some work

 

[SVT4ME]

Looks great but will have to wait. Will still have 03 Cobra payments.
