Would you buy a 99 cobra?

[naynay]

i know they were down on power when they first came out. I coiuld really care less about it being "fast". I ran across one for sale today at $7500 and thought that was a good price, so i started looking into them and found quite a few priced around that. I just want a daily driver that looks and sounds good and gets better MPG's than my bronco.

any thoughts? anyone own one currently?

I would buy one for a dd, lower it, wheels, 03 cobra rear bumper and spoiler, exhaust, done!

[naynay]

thats where my thinking is.. i think im gonna make a move

Parts are easily available, as long as it looks sound and the miles are decent I don't see a reason not to.

I'd rather have a 96-98

That said, I've seen prices on the 99/01 under $7500 and up around $15k for low mileage ones. You could probably shop around and find something cheaper. Still not that great on gas mileage but I guess anything over 10 mpg is a step up. There's better cheaper options out there if you want a better gas saver daily but I know you know that lol

If I had the money laying around I wouldn't hesitate to have another Cobra for a daily. I miss mine everyday.

The good thing is that you could always have Doc do the work on it.

I built a 99 Cobra for a customer a few years back. Hurst short throw, 01 rear bumper, 4.10 gears, delrin bushings, 03/04 diff brace, diff cover brace, 03 wheels and a complete 03 Cobra supercharger system. Car made 476 RWHP. I think he would take 10k for it.
Cant seem to find my pictures of it but its black with tan interior and a two owner car. Both older retired cops. Only have the engine shots.

I daily drove my 97 Cobra for nearly a year. I averaged 20MPG with the heavy wheels and wide tires. Can't beat the sound of a 4V engine. My only complaint was bump steer.

Pretty much because you don't have any idea how to make one fast. Just run E85 and your problems will be solved.

I loved my '99 cobra. Had exhaust, bigger mass air, chip, 4:10's, pulleys, upgraded half shafts and '03 cobra rims

They are decent cars.

They have larger bump sticks than all the rest of the c heads. Degree them + solid rear swap and you have a pretty good running car.

It would still be a turd. Give you three guesses why.
