My Shelby ment a lot to me and I bought her brand new and did every mod myself. The car was a monster when I sold it.
The worst part is my cobra has been a complete pain in the ass since the day I bought it. I have had nothing but headaches with it. The car was not as wonderful as everyone told me it was. I should have looked at the car in person before purchasing, but everyone told me how amazing it was so shame on me.
I hate hearing stuff like this. My brothers 03 has been nothing but problems since day one, yet a couple friends that have 03/04's have never had issues.

Damn man, sucks to hear. Im a huge fan of the 03/04, but with them being so old and having God knows how many owners and hard miles, it really is a gamble, getting into one.
I can see how the experience you have had has made you miss your shelby.
Stay strong and get that Cobra back to pristine condition, then sell to me
Sorry to hear. That wicked sucks! I loved that Shelby. I wish I had a place to store it, I would have loved to have that car. What a great looking car too. Killer color scheme. It was one of my favorites on this site.
If I had the choice between a '13/'14 GT500 or Cobra,........Shelby all day long.
Are you going to look for another GT500 to replace?
I hear yeah, my brother also has a 03 cobra and it's on it's 3rd engine. But he loves the car and won't sell it. While 2 other guys I know have high mileage cobras and they run perfect with no issues. I don't get it sometimes.
I work on her every weekend fixing something. Every time I turn around its something new wrong. I have a couple local people interested in the car so hopefully someone buys it eventually.Damn man, sucks to hear.

The shity part is I have always wanted a 03/04 cobra since I was 16 and finally was financially stable enough to buy one with cash and I bought a nightmare. I should have been more patient.
Thanks man, I miss that car more and more each day. But luckily they made plenty of 13/14s. I'll definitely have another one but it will probably never look as good as my last one.

I think his having 666 in the vin has cursed it. We are currently rebuilding his engine as well, teksid with all new parts just the bare cylinder heads are off the original engine. He also had the stock t56 with 26 spline and everything inside upgraded grenade on a 2-3 shift. The first magnum t56 he had was bad from D&D as well. I think in the 5 years he's owned it he has yet to drive it more than 3 months a year due to issues. But at this point it has so much money ad time in it he doesn't want to sell it. Makes me nervous about buying an 03 when the time comes but it has been the dream car since I was in high school and saw the debut in 2002.
and to keep the thread gods happy pic:
Yeah,.....that was a killer looking car. Gorgeous.
Plenty of '13's/'14's around, like you stated. Good luck going forward!
Tones - GHIG looks better on a Roush than any other GT. Not sure why, but damn it works!
Runner up yesterday at NMRA in Bracket 2. I ran a 7.99 on an 8.0 dial losing the final.

Sorry to hear this. Definitely time to sell that Cobra then. I know I would.
Thanks man! I appreciate that.
It really is a great color, especially out in the sun with the gold metallic flake. In the shade it looks like a flat green.
That's awesome Justin! Congrats.Runner up yesterday at NMRA in Bracket 2. I ran a 7.99 on an 8.0 dial losing the final.
