[QUOTE="03SoCalCobra, post: 2299639, member: 3979"] The 2003 Cobra just rolled over 60,000 miles on May 25th. I got the car June 26th, 2002, it's #145. With an 85+ mile per day commute I try offsetting mileage on the 03 by driving the LX (plus the auto is better for LA traffic), but when you walk out the door on a sunny morning and look at both options :dw: I become... weak... :pepper: :burnout: In nearly 3 years, I've had: Rear end clunk The tick Leaking differential (twice) Bad alternator (twice) Seat rub Bad TOB Bad 3rd brake light The stalling problem (mysteriously went away after CAI & exhaust installed) 2 shattered fog lights (rocks) Paint defect (little too much metalic in one spot, hard to notice, looks like a birth mark :) Stuck CD in Mach 460 (stick credit card in slot while cd ejecting, pops right out). New clutch & pressure plate Cracked TOB retainer (TSB covered labor & almost all parts costs for retainer, TOB, PP, flywheel and part of the clutch). Spark plug blown out of the head (TimeSert fixed). I haven't had: The vibe, broken input shaft, tranny, half shafts, CV joints, or bad wheel bearings. Considering the power level (474hp) and length of time (all mods since ~22k miles), number of races (~30+ track & way over 100+ street & fwy) and total investment (~ $38k), there are very few other cars that'll go as fast, with as much additional potential for as little cost and effort. The right combinations of parts, one weekend in the garage at home with nothing more than hand tools and you can have a full-weight 10 second daily driver. :beer: [/QUOTE]
