Id like a coyote swapped fox body. 400ish with bolt ons and I'd be able to just enjoy it. No knock sensors still bothers me but the J&s Vampire can handle that for the terminator.

I’ve got both and did a Gen 3 swap on the 93 Cobra - it needed more power :).

The 2004 Cobra is in a league of its own. Can’t imagine not having one in the stable. It’s hard to put in words - but the visceral feeling is unmatched in my opinion. Looks good too :). With that being said, the Foxbody with the coyote is a beast. I’ve driven it the most of my entire stable the past 1.5yrs. If you can swing it, add the Terminator to your stable.

It could be a real deal - not everyone is asking outlandish prices for a Fox Mustang…(Cobras or not).

The idiots on eBay trying to get $50k+ for standard 93 Cobras (and close to or 40k for Fox LX or GT’s), they’re going to sit for a while (and be eventually relisted over and over)…. It’s no longer the COVID era, nor is it the insanity of 2021-2022 where everyone was paying stupid prices for any type of vehicle like they were all gonna be crushed and no longer in existence …. Somehow common sense is prevailing and people just aren’t paying the stupid prices now…. And those that are….they’re just stupid. LOL

That Cobra listing could be fake - but there are still many realistic deals out there for Fox Mustangs. Buyers just have to search, be in the know, be in a circle of car club folks, or watch various online platforms because there’s many deals depending on what you want to spend. The way I look at some of those outlandish ads (and even the common auctions such as BJ or Mecums), if you’re gonna flush $50k+ down the toilet for a standard Fox Cobra, or $100k+ for some other common cookie cut vehicle that has clean paint under lights and a $10k engine build, more power to ya and that’s your choice. But on the opposite hand, there is always a better deal for far less for the same vehicle.
Sure you can still find good deals on Foxbody cars but a real ‘93 Cobra has reached a premium I don’t see going away.
Has anyone confirmed this is real? I’m guessing if it were, it was sold the same day?

Curious on if anyone has owned both and what they think the pro's and cons are of each? Mainly the 03-04. Or if you just have an opinion on which you prefer I'd like to hear that as well. I've had my 1993 cobra for a long time now and thinking about selling it and getting an 03-04 instead. Car has 84k miles. but presents as a 20k mile car. 10/10 interior, 9.5/10 exterior, moldings are perfect. I've never driven a terminator and although i love my 1993 I've always wanted an 03-04. My 93 is not stock and has a built motor with vortech and the normal suspension mods done, shocks, springs, ect. Definitely a fun car but I'm getting bored having owned it a long time. I have the original motor and every part i took off as well that i took out in case I blew the motor. So the car can be put back to stock if need be.

mod move post if need be, not sure which section to put this in.

If you can afford both, do both. If you can only have one, keep the '93. And for the love of all things foxbody, keep it a pushrod.

If you need more power, fix it with cubic inches.
