[QUOTE="JMD0346, post: 3742802, member: 7989"] No. Theres never been such radically different Cobras. From 93 to 94-95 the only change was the body. From 95 to 96-98 the engine changed but the performance was not that different. 99&01 the body changed and the engine got a pick me up but nothing drastic. Also the IRS was intro'ed. Still performance wasnt much different than the 96-98 IMO. Then BAM! 03. Body changes slightly. For the better. Best looking new edge IMO. Obviously the engine is changed pretty dramaticaly. Modability is through the roof. Better IRS setup. 6 speed tranny and better rear gearing. Better suspension and brakes. Basically leaps and bounds better than previous models. For me the 99-01 was a waste. The engine was pretty good but the whole package was severly lacking. Wheel hop was so bad I think my 97 would have put a hurtin on it. I kept it 10 months and then bought the 03. Biggest mistake I made. I bought the 03 with no money down. If I would have kept the 97 for those 10 months it would have been paid for. Then I would have both for the same thing Im paying now. At the time there was no mention of a blown Cobra in the works. Then bam again! 07 Mustang Shelby GT500 Cobra. com etc.... Dramaticaly new platform. Better tranny, bigger engine, bigger blower, live axle etc... Everything they thought Cobra guys wanted. Except the price, style, and weight. All my opinion of course. I just dont dig the style. Its to plastic and gaudy for me. I think it will play out. Basically the 03-04 paved the way for the new direction of the Cobra. IMO Cobras for a long time will be compared to it. That is if they make anymore. [/QUOTE]
