Thirty six grand for an 11 year old, mass produced Mustang?? So $36K for an outdated car on a chassis that dates back to 1979 or $36K+/- for a newer, more refined GT500 on a newer chassis? Hmm... Decisions, decisions.

A person would have to be mental to pay that right now. Maybe in another 20 years. And when you think about the required maintenance that will need to be performed on it after you buy it, that makes it even worse. With that low of mileage, it's basically been sitting around in a garage for all these years. Probably all kinds of seals, gaskets, and fluids need to be changed on it just from deterioration from lack of use.

^what are you talking about, it's an 03/04 Cobra and worth whatever he's asking for it.

Ahh yes, the typical GT500 owner. Still butt hurt that his Condor gets ripped by modded Cobras. Why you mad though? :poke:

36k is way out there but someone will unfortunately pay around 33-34k for that thing. And in yellow nonetheless, YUCK. :xpl:

Outdated chassis? Corvette? And they don't handle worth a damn...oh wait...

Dude....$36K is BUY it NOW. An option for the non-educated that don't know anything, have lots of cash and impulse buy. I have used eBay plenty of times, and very few people use that option. Hence why it is an auction.

I like comp orange but I can see it not being everyones cup of tea! If Comp Orange wasn't as rare as it is, I doubt there would be as MUCH hype over it.

A gt500 is a better choice over a terminator if you want a bulkier looking car and a car that is even slower than a terminator for the horsepower it has.

Got to give props to ford, pretty hard achievement to make a blown v8 so slow for the power.

I know that! But often times the "Buy It Now" price is the same as the RESERVE, which hasn't been met yet.

Can't argue with you there. Still faster than a Cobra, at least! :poke:

Still the cobra is a fun and nice platform in it's own right.

If anything the worst thing about it is the fact that it needs like 40+ more rwhp than most cars to make it a drivers race (pending weight reduction and driver mod of course) and it would appear the gt500s pre 2013 need 60 or even 70+ rwhp over most cars. That seems a little backwards to me...

Don't get me wrong I love gt500s, my friend has a 2.9 whipple one on e85 that would own me on the street but lets get real if you just love straight line performance it isn't a crazy huge leap from an 03/04.

Wierd that there are so many Terminator haters on this site these days, don't know if its because a lot of high school kids buy 03/04 cobras and have been given them a bad name or what.

Your gt500 will be "old" one day are you just going to trade up for the next model?

I don't get it wether it's a fox body, sn95, new edge, s197 (?) all platforms are pretty decent if ya ask me.

For what it's worth, I don't have any hate toward Cobras. You won't find any posts from me anywhere that I've said anything derogatory about them other than the fact I hate the SN95 design. I have a right to say that because I owned one; a '99 GT. That car was trash, but I loved it just because it was a Mustang. I would've preferred an '08 Cobra, but the particular dealership that had one wanted new car money for a used car. That and for some reason it seemed ridiculously cramped in the driver's seat.

I won't be trading mine in. I've got way too much time and money invested in it at this point and wouldn't get what >>I<< think is a fair price for it. I used to think I'd be adding a '15 to the stable, but from what I've read so far, it's even bigger than the current car. Now I'm on the fence about it. Plus the looks are still growing on me. Disappointed that, like so many people are saying, it really does look like a Fusion from the front. That's not necessarily a bad thing. The Fusion is a nice looking vehicle, but the Mustang has almost always had it's own distinctive look compared to its corporate brethren. But anyway, I'm rambling now.

edit:
I forgot to add that I was all the way in the '03/'04 Cobra corner because it was the car that FINALLY got the Supra boys to shut the f... up! A lot of feelings were getting hurt back then. LOL

GT500s are held back by their weight, gearing, owners, and most importantly tires. These cars spin so much that I believe it helps the earths rotation lol. Plus when you spend upwards of 30k on a car, who wants to spend a few k extra on tires to get the car to hook when most owners do not use the car to its full potential.
