the hipe on 2003-04 cobras just my opinion

[99riocobra]

this kid should have been aborted.

sorry, its true...

ha, that's a pretty strong thing to say. but i'll have to agree....

i`m not goin to say all termy owners, but the ones around here where i`m from , seem to look down on us non- termy cobras. i had one guy to say my car wasn`t a real cobra , because it wasn`t supercharged.

the guy who said that is stupid and should have his car burned. those are the kind of people i hate being grouped with. a lot of people say that 03/04 owners look down on other mustangs becasue they aren't 03/04's. when i'm driving around i wave at people with any Cobra, GT, Mach 1, or other V8 mustang.

So you're saying a New Edge with CAI, exhaust, tune and gears will run alongside a Terminator with a CAI, exhaust and tune? :dw: Thats even worse for the New Edge since a Terminator gets better power increases from those mods than the New Edge does. What gear ratio for the New Edge are you talking about? :shrug:

me against the stock termy was with 3.27 gears...and w/out a tune...

from what i understand the tune on a termy is worth 30-40 rwhp...

but a solid axled new edge weighs around 3300-3400 lbs...termy is close to what, 3800? not so hard to believe if you think about it...

so you're saying a new edgey can beat a termi? :bash:

when the termy is stock and the new edge has several bolt ons and tune, then yes...

There's a video floating around that'll prove what he's saying. I'll see if I can track it down today. The 03/04 isn't the fastest car ever. They can lose. Just because a car makes less power, doesn't mean it's slower.

I will have to agree that a geared full bolt on new edge would give a pretty much stock Terminator a good run for its money. Driver Mod would be a big factor there.

But lets not get crazy, a Simple $1500 spent on exhaust, CAI, Tune and a pulley and its lights out

 

[Sniperdog]

I am sure the driver mod makes allot of the diff, (not that I am a race car driver). but before my KB, I ran an 01 cobra with a vortech, and I pulled on him(not hard) but I did pull. running that same car minus blower equals ass beating :shrug:. and my huh? was doubt . not that an 01 or 99 (n/a cobra ) could never equal an 03-04 on the street, because anything can happen. However, a broken clock is still right twice a day. but its not the norm, thats all I'm sayin'.

but to answer your own question, just think about it the next time you're breaking your neck to look at one oke:

I thought very very hard about keeping my '99 Cobra and modifying it to the level of a Terminator. The car was worth about 10 grand, and when you factor in all the upgrades that a terminator gives you out of the box, it's simply cheaper to just buy a Terminator. Especially if you're not doing all the work yourself.

Besides that, once you've put all the money into those mods you're probably not going to get that cash back when/if you sell. With a terminator the mods are already included in the market value, so if you were to sell you'll be better off than trying to sell a modded '99-01 Cobra.

ok quadcammer all that talking. your pathetic!! not even worth my time. so thats all i will say i love the haters.. the envy keeps me going, so bring it on!!! if your mother could have afforded it you would be a specimen in a jar in a lab. hey guess what i got 3 cars that will smoke your shit. hows that one little boy

rotfl!

3 cars that will smoke my shit huh?

I hope you don't include your cobra, wrx, or jetta (rotfl, again).

All of them are about 300whp short.

I'm not sure why anyone is surprised by this. A new edge will put 330 to the wheels pretty easily with the right mods and a stock term puts down what - 370? That's only a 40HP advantage and the term has more weight.

Throw in the driver factor (I know quick01snake - he ain't bad!) and I can see the term going down.

thanks for clarifying my point Zach...

but yes i have beaten termi's i had alot of bolt-ons and then some. but i never had one pull on me. but i have seen some where i was glad i parked far away lol. i beat them in my wrx (out of the hole). and i even pulled on a stock one in my jetta. (the wrx and jetta are upgraded turbo and fully bolt-oned.

Dude don't mess with QuadCammer. Sometimes the things he knows about the 99/01s would make you think that he helped engineer these cars. He even knows how many degrees certain drivetrain parts face one way or the other. And let someone dare make a 'nutswinger remark' :fm:

....and with a right mods the term will put down 500 to the wheels. That's a 170 hp advantage. No suprise there either.

What is your point to all this :shrug:

 

[silver2001cobra]

well i have no problem beatin a non- pullied termy in my car and mine car is n/a. i would like to run a pullied cobra to see how i would do. i`m only puttin down 360rwhp ,plus 4.10 gears with a 6 speed trans.

 

[quikcobra]

just get what you like

:nono:

mod-for-mod a NE Cobra will always be behind the 8 ball against a term. A term will always behind the 8 ball against a GT500.

quikcobra - I bought my '03 for $23k. I sold my '99 for 10k.. If I wouldn't have bought the '03 I would have had $13K to make my '99 perform/look like the '03. I would have had to buy all of this:

- T-56 tranny
- Forged internals (and get them installed)
- Supercharger, intercooler, heat exchanger, etc...
- 03-04 Cylinder heads
- Bigger wheels (my '03 has 18x10.5" in the back)
- Bigger tires
- All the body parts, plus get them painted
- Better half shafts
- Aluminum Drive shaft
- New struts/shocks/springs
- New seats (the '99 seats SUCK)
- 6 disc CD changer
- Boost gauge/gauge pod

And about a million other little parts to get everything to work together. There is no way I could have done all of that for $13k - the wheels/tires alone would be $1500-$1700! Add in all the labor charges and the '03 Cobra was a freakin' STEAL at $23k.

Edit: And don't forget the resale value of a modded '99 won't be nearly as good as the resale value of a '03.
