And I had a 97 cobra, then an 04 that I bought new and modded. Went 12.62 @ 111 stock with me driving it, not Evan Smith. So they are capable of mid 12's stock. And we weren't talking about track cars, so from a roll the Cobra would beat an 00R. You quote 390/390 hp for the 03/04's but that is about what they were putting to the ground. Realistically they were more in the 420-430 range.
It's pretty clear in this thread that the average age of 03/04 owners these days is 19-22 lol
Call it whatever you want, what dumb ass posts a video of a Pulley bolton cobra vs a bone stock 5.0 as proof of anything....
You said it boy...

My neighbors intake, tune, exhaust, and a solid swap for drag racing 00r ran 11.30 at 120. I don't think they should be compared, but since it's the internet and we are doing it, the R is faster mod for mod.00R quicker than an 03/04? I think not. Better handler, yes. Full suspension, rear seat delete, no a/c or radio, and only a wing an SRT4 owner would love. $20K more expensive, if you could get one at sticker.
At it's time of production it was the baddest Mustang made. It brought respectibilty back to Mustang lost from 96 on in 2v platform, and even the 4v N/A cobras were really a step behind the boys from GM.
^^Yea OK^^
Yeah what?
What he means is "yeah I'm hung up on my new car, and can't see past it, and I think it's the best Mustang, and car ever made so there is just no way a 2K Cobra R is faster than a 03/04 Cobra."
Many times when people get fast cars they like they fool themselves into believing that it's the fastest thing out there, and nothing can beat it, or even compete with it when that is actually the farthest thing from the truth. Terminator owners suffer greatly from this problem as a whole.
Well neither of them are new. The Cobra R is a purpose built track car, just like an FR500. It should smack production cars around a race track. Unfortunately it is not quicker in a 1/4 than an 03/04. A 07-09 GT500 is quicker than both. A 10 is quicker than the 07-09's, and 11-12's are quicker than 10's. The 13 will trump all.:rockon: What else do you need to know?
I've contemplated purchasing an 95r or 00r, but realize it would only be for future collector status, as neither have anything for the current Mustang offerings, as far as perfomance.
i love how this tread has turned into 30/04 cobra vs world
i friggen LOVE 03/04 cobras! seriously, it just sucks to see them represented by a bunch of dongbags. I was implying '03/04 OWNERS vs. world'. my bad :beer:Hey man...not trying to be disrespectful to you, but just curious why you have all this hate for the 03/04 Cobra. Is it the car you have a problem with or is it the people who own them.
Just saying, if you dislike Cobra owners(agreed, they can be cocky), than maybe you could redirect your negative comments to them and not towards the car. Maybe you could take a step back and really look inside yourself and see what it really bothering you.
The 03/04 Cobra was and still is a great car. For the price and its ability to be modded for little money and make great power, it is an awesome car. It demands respect no matter what you feel about it. Just my opinion.:beer:
