SpaceGhost Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 get on topic, what car suggestion did you make? all you have done is tear apart other peoples posts. I didn't make another suggestion, because I can't think of another v8 for 20k. I was on topic, just pointing out that, clearly you just don't like mustangs, don't lie and say they are not unique enough. Just be honest and say "I don't like mustangs". If it were me I want a Cobra Replica, those are unique, but go for more than 20k, unless you want to do work and then spend more than 20k.

04silvrz Posted July 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 honestly, i really do like mustangs. i have always liked mustangs. but, it really does seem like I see tons of mustangs. I don't see to many sports cars around Columbus, but if I do it's a mustang. But I rarely see vette's, 350z, evo, sti's.... the 2001 + cobra has everything I want, independent rear suspension, the power, the price... everything. i don't know, maybe I am just being silly about it.

SpaceGhost Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Just to be clear I am talking about a Cobra Replica: http://carphotos.cardomain.com/ride_images/3/2879/1501/32195750002_large.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceGhost Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Yes that is what I said, the MK4 complete kit is $20k but then you need engine, transmission, and paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 Sweet Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 The 03/04 Cobras are one of the quickest, meanest, best-looking performance cars you can get for the money IMO. I don't even put them in the same category as your average Mustang. Or, for $20k you can build one killer f-body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04silvrz Posted July 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 i saw a bunch of those down at hocking hills one weekend when we were down there. sooo sick! bet they are tons of fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 That is my thinking too, at this point in my life, unless a car is a vert, I don't think it will be fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 However the cool factor of that car is, you build it too. Always cool to get your hands dirty. I think I have the wife almost convinced that in 5-8 years I am going to build one. I think I want to drop in a Coyote engine in one. So in 5-8 years finding a totaled 2011 Mustang should not be an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceGhost Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Yep, however I don't think that is a Factory Five Kit. Nice price, looks to me like a Carbed 302 fox Engine or maybe a 4.6? (I am far from knowledgeable on that) Just started research and learning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AWW$HEEET Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 I am in the process of moving to Hawaii. I may be interested in selling my c5 z06 in the next couple of months. PM me what you are looking to get for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffro Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 if i had 20k to drop, id buy a terminator. 03/04 cobras are like 420ish stock....http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Mustang_SVT_Cobra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirks5oh Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 you won't see many '03/04 cobras rolling around---nor will you see many GTO's either. my question is that you say you want a car with refinement, yet you want a car that can make lots of power with bolt-ons. you can't have both for $20k. you want a refined car (merc/bmw/etc.) and you will pay bigtime for maintenance and modifications, as well as the entry price. you want an american v8 (vette, cobra, gto) and they will not be too refined once the mod bug hits you and you have a loud-ass car with a lopey cam. my cobra idles like a stocker, has A/C, is still comfortable to drive, and makes 590rwhp all day long. plenty like mine for sale in the low, low 20's---i've got 18k miles on it. anyone that matters will know its not an ordinary mustang, and i wouldn't recommend buying cars to make an impression on other people, unless you're talking about taking business clients out.

Your tore your poor Subby up doing a minor repair on it. #2 - Where do you plan on building said beast? You'll easily fill a 2-3 car garage with just that project, with nothing else in there. I too plan on building one in several years (my wife wants one...will have to be LSx powered); but that's after building a 2nd garage/shop to build it in.

FyrhzrdGT Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 I wouldn't buy a $20,000 2005 Mercedes V8. I am all for zee-germans but if you're looking for a car like that you probably can't afford to fix it and that cheap it'll have a shitton of miles on it.

04silvrz Posted July 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 so, i really like the 2003 - 2004 cobras. they are pretty hard to find in my price range though, that are coupes. There is 1 blue one within 300 miles but, it has 91,000 miles. how do these things hold up? they need some major stuff at 100k? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More likely the cobra, just gotta keep my eye out for one in my price range, color and coupe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More likely the cobra, just gotta keep my eye out for one in my price range, color and coupe. start looking at the classified section on svtperformance.com---easily the largest collection of these cars you'll see for sale. you'll see plenty of these cars that have passed through multiple owners, with multiple set-ups. then you'll see some one-owner examples where the owner is looking to upgrade---usually to a c6z. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
