I traded my car for an 03 Sonic Blue Cobra with 2400 miles? Really tempting. Guy is looking to get back into a foxbody. Of course I would have to put a little $ with it.

mmm.... Sonic Blue.... as long as it hasnt had a 2.76 upper and an 8# lower id say its probably a safe car to get...
i love those cars, if they didnt have such a damn retarded clutch they'd be about perfect....

thats a really tough choice. those cars are really sweet. esp with just a bit of work. guess it depends more on what you have to drive. would it be your only car or just a toy. would be more comfy for a dd. but nothing ever replaces a fox. once you get a foxbody and fall in love nothing will ever be the same, even with their shortcomings. so crazy? no, regret? maybe.......

It would just be a toy. Probably throw a turbo on it and never drive it like my fox. The car does have a Steigmeir (SP) ported blower on it?? I know nothing about these cars.

F*** Keepin the fox, unless ur car has about 500+ hp. That cobra is over 500hp. its so easy to make power out of those cars its almost unfair. Take o bone stock on, drop a grand into it and ur over 500 hp. its that easy!!! i would love to have a 04 cobra. i love those cars. but its ur choice, i say go for it, unless he wants like a crazy amount of money plus ur car. other than that.......

insanely stiff to be a stock clutch... the spec stage 3 that was in my buddies turbo 2v car was WAAYYYYYY lighter and slipped much nicer than the 03 cobra clutch did in the 20k mile car i drove.

Well the 500 hp thing doesn't excite me. Unless he accepts my low cash + car offer I'll probably keep the fox.
Roadcone, your right... The clutch in the cobra would have to take getting use to.
