  • A Wonderful Sports Car, the SVT product Still doesn't live up to a Saleen.

    Nov 08 '02
    Pros: Fast, powerful & attractive with quick cornering. Loaded with goodies.
    Cons: Heavy, and feels it! Despite the suspension goodies, the Saleen wins

    Summary: Before any purists get all bent out of shape over the title, open your ears and eyes and LISTEN, before getting defensive. We are NOT dealing with an ordinary Mustang here - if we were, I would have written in the standard "Mustang GT" section. The SVT ... read more

  • Fastest car per dollar available

    Nov 15 '05
    Pros: Brutal exotic car acceleration, handles very well with the IRS.
    Cons: Doesn't look fast inside or out. Mach 460 radio sounds terrible.

    Summary: I just wanted to address the complaints in this review that were posted: 1. "Really cheap carpeting, no floor mats either" Floor mats are a dealer option. My Cobra and all others that I know of had them, unless you specifically didn't want them. ... read more

  • Excitement wears off quick

    Nov 21 '03
    Pros: Good horsepower, wide tires, nice supercharger, fast, dual overhead cam, nice rims
    Cons: Noisy transmission gears, post antenna, ticking and noisy engine, seating and shifting position, body assembly

    Summary: This car is great the first couple of times you drive it but then the buyers remorse kicks in. I have owned this car for over 1 year. First the good things. This car is fast and has good power throughout the power band. I really like the nine inch ... read more

  • Fine as a drag racer, but that's about it.

    Jun 10 '03
    Pros: Fast in a straight line.
    Cons: It's ONLY fast in a straight line. Sub-par craftsmanship. Can't compare to European sports cars.

    Summary: My friend convinced me to go on a test drive with him in this car. As a true fan of European sports cars and F1 racing, my opinions regarding cars are not easily changed. However I am open minded, and was willing to give it a try. As I had guessed, ... read more

  • Thought the girlfriend would have fast trouble free car:(

    Apr 30 '03
    Pros: very fast. Good handling. different and more agressive looks.
    Cons: gas mileage, reliability, shifter and clutch!! A lot of problems already:(

    Summary: I got A great deal from a friend on our Cobra. 29800 for the car to our door. If I hadn't, my review would have been worse. Bottom line, our cobra is very fast and unlike the saleen review here, i think the cobra is a faster, cheaper car. And it can keep ... read more

  • The snake den's newest sibling.

    Oct 19 '02
    Pros: Tomahawk missile-like acceleration, glued-to-road handling, best all around package.
    Cons: Quirky shifter, fake side scoops, too fast for one's own driving record.

    Summary: This cobra is the second of this particular breed that I've owned, the first being a 2001 Cobra Convertible. My initial reaction when I saw the reveal of this car is wow... The statistics alone are mind boggling, for any car. 390 Horsepower ... read more

  • COBRA: King of the Snakes!

    Oct 14 '02
    Pros: 767-like thrust, fully-independant suspension, firm well-supportive seats, cheaper than a Corvette!
    Cons: low EPA fuel ratings, harsh ride, long heavy doors, tight rear seats, notchy hard-to-reach shifter

    Summary: The original Mustang was introduced in April of 1964, and since then, has been one of the best-selling Ford cars. Not only that, but the Mustang created a segement known to many as the "pony car." Competitors, such as the Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac ... read more

  • 03 Cobra eats competition

    Sep 22 '02
    Pros: Extremely fast and powerful.
    Cons: Could use interior update.

    Summary: I owned a 1997 V6 Mustang that I was very proud of until a person I work with bought a 1995 twin turbo Supra. Before that, I could easily keep up with his Mitsubishi 3000GT, but now he simply played with me. Previously, I had thought about the Cobra, ... read more

    Pros: Very fast, good handeling lots of torque.
    Cons: expensive, high maintanance hard to control.

    Summary: The 2003 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra is a very fast car. It accelerates very fast and makes you feel like you are on a rollercoaster. You can shift out from a stop in 3rd gear,very impressive. I once took it on a back road and got it to go 0 to 60 in less ... read more

    Oct 06 '08
    Pros: Super charger, unique exhaust note(turns head), two tone leather seats.



    Cons: Interior is pretty much the same as any other Mustang. Clutch is really stiff

    Summary: I have a 2003 SVT Cobra convertible with a torch red color. I changed the entire exhaust system H pipe and Borla Stingers. Short throw Steeda shifter and 18 inch Chrome Saleen 5 spoke, Steeda cold air intake. Every time I drive this car it puts a smile

  • Silver 2003

    Jan 10 '06
    Pros: Handling, acceleration and styling
    Cons: Gas mileage.

    Summary: I've had my Cobra for almost three years now (34,000 Miles). Not a single problem. Performance is awesome. Handles great with the IRS and accelerates like a rocket. Nothing like a supercharger for pure horsepower and

    Pros: quickness, handling, looks, everything
    Cons: none

    Summary: I test drove this car not long ago and all I can say is WOW. This car has awesome acceleration, awesome handling, and a nice 6 speed manual. This car shifts great and looks great. I can't find any faults in this
