just took a ride in my bud's new '04 cobra......

[GNFURY]

I was impressed. It handled great, was fast as hell, braked really good, the whole package. black convertible car. Good looking and that blower whine is just plain awesome....................................

then he showed the $40,000 stickerprice, and I told him he was a moron!!!!!

I would add 5k to that any day of the week and go buy a c6 corvette. ANY DAY OF THE WEEK!! Who buys a 40k dollar 'MUSTANG"???????

NICE CAR BUT NOT FOR 40K. for 25k, it is really nice.

Ill agree with you on that. No Mustang is worth that kind of money. Last year I went and test drove a 04 Mach 1. I even had them talked down 5k off sticker. I still couldnt bring myself to spend 25k on a car that depreicates faster than I could pay it off!

He got torn up on that price... My parents bought an 04 last year, only option that is available is chrome wheels which theirs has, $31k out the door. I ran it STOCK it went 12.70 at 111 on factory tires! Took the converters off, added a smaller pulley, reflashed the PCM and a K&N filter, it went 11.72 at 121 on the same stock tires.

HOLY CRAP!!!!

I don't think he actually paid 40k, but I'm sure somebody did. And remember, this is a convertible = way more $

Sticker prices don't mean squat. You can allways buy cheaper than sticker

The only people that paid that much were in rush to own the first one on the block. I picked up mine in April 2003 for low-30s, out the door. That was when other people were paying $5-10k dealer markups! As far as the Vette comparison, you can not buy a C6 convertible for an addittional "$5k, any day of the week". The base coupe lists for something like $44.9k, and I have yet to see one for that price. Every coupe I have seen on the lot has be $47k, or higher. The converibles would be over $50k. That's a huge difference in price.

Nobody pays $40k for one of those do they? They were giving away the 2003s up here. My neighbor was going to get a Mach 1 and ended up getting the Cobra because he got it cheaper than the Mach 1. I think he was almost under $30k out the door.
