IMO, they're entirely different cars. The '03 is far superior as far as quality, handling and drive. But, you don't own a '93 cobra for comfort, or ride quality. You own it for what it is. The coolest fox body built, it's rarety, uniqueness, and the muscle car feel. Also, I feel there is more room in my fox than there is in my Term by a long shot.
I sold my last '93 and swore I'd never go back. Not because of any particular issue, but because I really like the advances of the newer stangs. Since then I realized there were elements of the '93 that I missed that the new cars don't have.
It's like owning an old muscle car. You don't own it for any other reason but what it is. I know this is not the same, and value aside, but it's like saying, I'm going to sell my Boss 429 because it doesn't have a/c. Or, I'm going to sell my '00 R because it doesn't have a stereo, or the road noise is too much, or it rides too stiff. 93 cobra's IMO are a toy, second car, accessory, they're not owned because of how great they handle, or smooth they are, or great the plastic looks. They're modern muscle/collector cars. They're owned because that's the passion you have for the best fox body ever made and the admiration you get from every mustang owner out there.
Hope this makes sense. I've been on both sides of the fence, and I'd be incomplete without one.
They are replaceable though, so sell it if you're not happy. You can (and probably will) get another one when you're ready.
very well put.
LOL with my new n/a combo, my car definitely feels like an old muscle car :-D
