Yesterday after waiting for almost 2 years, I got to test drive a '04 Mustang Cobra. It was a nice black one. First off this is one bada$$ car. IMO the best Stang to date. You guys and gals that own this car are very lucky people.
Now back to the test drive. If any of you may recall I was thinking of getting a Cobra and really wanted to test drive one. I got my chance yesterday and I am pleased with the car. At take off the car is bit quicker than my Trans Am with 4.10's gears. The Cobra shines for me at about 4K+ RPMS, that's when I get pushed back into the seat. And that Supercharger sound is addictive.
The car is quiet during idle and regular driving, but at WOT the Supercharger whine is great and makes for the quiet exhaust sound.
The Cobra rode firmer than my 2 Mustang GT's, but the ride was not harsh.:thumbsup: I also liked the firm clutch pedal.
And at start up I heard NO abnormal sound, which I think is a good thing.:-D
Now back to reality for me. I have come to a conclusion that I must get a 4 door car for work purpose first. I need a 4 door car to take out customers and suppliers, and get tired to asking my dad or boss to borrow their cars. I have my eyes set on the upcoming M5 or new 545i which I also test drove and it is .
I am going to keep my will power strong and wait for the upcming next generation Cobra. Ford did a good job with this one, powerwise. I could just imagine how the next one will be.
Oh yeah the paint on the Cobra looked good for me, even though it was really dirty.
Again this is the best Mustang to date IMO.
Enjoy your great rides.
