A: Yes

Q: In the year 2000, did Ford make a Cobra Mustang?
I have a 2000 Ford Mustang Coupe that has a Cobra bumper and decals. Everyone thinks its newer than a 2000 and someone mentioned that in 2000 Ford didnt make Cobra’s. Is this true and does anyone know why and what year they were made?

A: it could be the Canadian model..

Q: Is it true that the 2000 V6 Mustang Coupe came with the cobra suspension package?
I have heard off a website that I cant seem to find anymore that the year 2000 Ford Mustang came with the cobra suspension package because that was the year that cobra mustangs took the year off to fix some issues that they had with the 1999 Cobra. Is this true?

A: I own a 1999 Mustang GT and not even that came with a cobra suspension. I wouldnt think that they would spend the money on a 2000 V6. Ive driven a friends 2000 V6 and trust me it did not feel like it had any performance suspension.

Q: buying used Mustang Cobra, help?
I am buying a 1997 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra Coupe with the engine from a 04 Cobra. What problams should i look for when i inspect the car? are there any problams that are commen with this car? thancks for your help.

A: quite a few mustangs have swapped in the cobra (terminator) engine, because it is so very strong and likely one of the best engines ford has produced in terms of quality of internal components, and overall performance.

this can be an excellent purchase, and because the engines stand up to a lot of hard driving they are quite dependable.

as answerer Vipassan said have a pro shop ck it out…..
do a full ck including compression test.
basic questions:
-engine swap accompanied by swap of the t-56 6 sp transmission? and was the transmission upgraded to stronger spline??
-what clutch is the car running
-is it running stock supercharger, or has it been replaced and with what??
-what other installations have been done on this car to manage the power from the cobra engine??
-has the car had a custom tune of the engine (if so talk to that shop)

lastly MAKE SURE to see build identification to confirm it is a cobra engine! (lots of clones out there).

this can be a 1st rate car, if all cks out.

when you have time get on http://www.svtperformance.com/
its an owners forum for performance mustangs, register and then get onto the forum for 03/04 terminators (and look for “terminator talk”)
there is very extensive FAQ available there that will basically answer every question you might have about the terminator engine.

any other questions….the guys at svt will quickly help you out……

Q: does any one know the weight of a 1998 ford mustang cobra?
I also need the horsepower and torque,for both the coupe and convertible

A: Coupe wieghts 3393lbs. dont know the convt. wieght. both have 305hp and 300ft-lbs.

Q: Which is better, ‘68 Mustang Coupe or ‘76 Corvette?
I am in the process of buying my first car and have narrowed it down to two choices, a 1968 ford mustang coupe that has a rebuilt cobra 302 engine with <1000 miles on it and a great interior, but some minor rust. My other choice is a 1976 corvette with no rust, rebuilt 383 stroker with less then <5000 miles, trans was just rebuilt around 50 miles ago. Which one will be more reliable as a everyday driver? Is one going to cost significantly more to maintain?

I understand that both cars are impractical first cars for a 17 year old but I have made up my mind so please do not try to dissuade me.

A: Minor rust? Check the cowl for leaks, check the frame rails, floor pans, shock towers. Minor rust has a bad habit of becoming major once you really get into it. If it has thick undercoating so you can’t see the pans well, or the cowl leaks, the Mustang isn’t going to be the best choice.

I’d suggest doing the same of the Corvette. Just because the body is fiberglass, the rest isn’t and that can mean hidden rust issues.

If both clean and the Stangs rust really is minor, I’d go with the Mustang. I’d also say you find out who rebuilt the motors. A reliable shop, with receipts to prove it, or a back yard shade tree mechanic? There’s no guarantee that either did a good job, but you’ve got a better chance with a shop.

Q: Which car would you choose and why?
1. 2006 subaru wrx sti 6 speed.

2. 2004 ford mustang cobra coupe 6 speed.
Im just curious on the handling for this car, what can i do to make it better….

A: I have to concur with Trev on this one. The Mustang may be a better “hot rod”, but if you expect to own the car for any length of time, you may be much happier with the Subaru. The advanced technology the STI offers -all wheel drive, traction control, turbo, better gas milage, the list goes on,…- makes it worth the purchase.

You will be more then pleased with the handling of the Subaru, especially with AWD. Conversely, the “old” Mustangs are notorious for letting the end hang out in the corners -more fun, but not as safe- but then again, that is what some folks prefer.

Q: Ford Cobra or Infiniti G35?
I have a decision to make and I just wanted opinions of everyone on here….
1999 Ford Mustang Cobra SVT (non supercharged)
or
2004 Infiniti G35 Sports Coupe

both have very similar gas mileage, both are almost even quarter mile and 0-60 times, pretty much everything is similar which is why I am asking.

The Cobra is around 10,000
while the infiniti is around 20,000
insurance prices are very similar
I also should probably add this is going to be my first manual transmission car, what would you say?
opinions??????

A: no question– the Infiniti!! much better reliability, and it’s 5 years newer than the Ford. i hope you already know how to drive a manual. if not, you should learn on a cheaper/less nice car before you thrash your new Infiniti’s transmission. ;-)

Q: What would be a better car?
i’m looking at cars to get and i’m going to be 16 in september
i love fords but i dont know if i really would want one for my second car (i got a 1994 Pontiac Grand Am SE Coupe for my 15th birthday)

2004-2005 Dodge Neon SRT-4
2003-2004 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra Coupe
2003-2004 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Manual

thanks in advance for your answers
djaca70
i wont need all the crap you listed to go to open track days i just need a helmet because its street cars vs street cars

A: ^^^ don’t listen to him^^^

hes never heard of street race Thursdays at the track… i love RWD Nissan and when you discover the sport of drifting, you’ll drop your love of fords and try to find anything RWD and LIGHT… Out of that list id suggest the 300zx…

But off that list id suggest a early model 1989-1993 240sx… They are reliable a fun cars to drive… the aftermarket possibilities are endless and if you buy a 240sx shell for $500 and put in a blacktop SR20DET for $3000 and throw in some coil overs and rims/tires for $2000… you’d have a fully built dirft car ready to drag and youll be the happiest kid with the fastest drift/drag car:)

Q: Camaro Vs. Mustang Vs. Firebird Vs. Other.?
Hello all,
I am debating wither or not I should trade my current car (04 Hyundai Tiburon GT) for another car. If I should decide to do so, it won’t be for a few months. I’m looking for a car that comes stock with a nice balance of speed and power, which all 3 below cars seem to have.

The Models are as follows:
00-02 Pontiac Firebird Trans AM Coupe—–305Hp, 335 ft lb Tq V8
00-02 Chevrolet Camero Z-28 Coupe—310Hp, 335 ft lb Tq V8
00-03 Ford Mustang GT Coupe——-260Hp, 302 ft lb Tq V8

One thing to keep in mind, the mustang has a mass amount of after market upgrades, many parts, and the lightest of the other two, needing less pull to get going. Not immediatly, I plan on adding a turbo/super which should make a mustang hit 375ish Hp, and idk on the others. All cars are V8’s, I don’t care much about gas mileage, might aswell get my kicks before everything hits hybrids. Also, if I could get ahold of a Mustang Cobra/Shelby I would just get it, but there a lil more pricey.

Normally, I would be wanting some imported V6 tuned up, but costs are a little more than I like. Example, my top 3 wanted cars are 1. Toyota Supra (96 TT), 2. Mitsubishi 3000Gt/Dodge Stealth (same thing 96 TT), 3. Nissan 300zx (96 Turbo). Yea, something about 96 went right. Anyway, the gt and 300zx run around 8k each, then its going to be about 15k to upgrade them to a nice running ability, supra’s run around 15k then another 15k to get them show room status.

Mustang, 5-12k, plus 1k for a super charger, maybe new suspension for another grand or two.

The “other” in the title is up to whom ever. Please first vote for which of the 3, then if you have a suggestion you think would be better or same. Please keep all suggestions around 10k or less, as my trade in is only worth around $8200.
Add to this, do these have many maulfuctions, and gas isn’t all that bad, $3 per gallon, with my tiburon getting about 20mpg I fill up once every 2 weeks (really just use for college). And a fill up 14.5 gallons costs about 25 dollars.
Another detail, I checked my listed cars, they get 18 mpg city 25 highway. My current V6 tiburon get 19-20 city, 28ish highway. It wouldn’t make too much difference, probably save gas since I live in WV (moutain state) and have to floor it in my tib to make it up a hill. *tib 0-60 in 8.9 seconds, quarter mile in 18-19 seconds*

A: if i was you i would go for the camaro z28, because its simply a better performance car then the mustang, the trans am is the same as the camaro, even though the mustang is easier to modifiy, here are some numbers for these cars.

2000-2002 camaro z28 0-60 in 5.1 secs
2000-2002 trans am 0-60 in 5.1 secs
2000-2003 mustang gt 0-60 in 5.6 secs

so dude if i was you i would go for the camaro z28, its just me, if your looking for style get the mustang, if your looking for performance, get the camaro, think about it dude, you will get looks from alot of people if you drive a camaro, cause i drive one, and everybody has a mustang, get something thats rare now, good luck in buying your car dude.

A: They look nice but I would paint the car red or black

Q: What do you think I should do? Buy a car or go on alot of out of country trips?
My parents have 5 cars, my sister has 1 car.

My dad has 2006 Chevorlet Chorvette and a 2007 Mercades SLK and a 1971 Ford Mustang 429 Cobra

My mom has a 2006 Porche Cayenne and a 2007 BMW M6 Coupe ( shut up the convertible was $12,000 more haha)

My sister has 2007 Nissan 350Z Roadster GT

They’re all insured in my name, and they let me drive them, my sister occasionaly lets me drive her car. For my 16 birthday my dad gave me $40,000 to buy a car, but I much rather go to other countries. I feel like I need more cultural experiance.I want a 2008 BMW M3, and really want to go on trips to other countries. Please decide my fate!

A: Who am I to tell you what to do?????
With your background, you should be able to do whatever you want, just do both. Tell Daddy you need more money, since that doesn’t appear to be a problem.

You can drive a Vette, a MB, 429 Cobra, BMW, and a Porsche. Why would you want to buy a car.

You already have a good selection. I’d like to see the parking lot you call a driveway.

good luck dude. You don’t need our help.

1972 Plymouth Barracuda
I’m not looking to sell them, I’m looking to put them on my house insurance

A: You can try looking them up on the Collector Car Market Review website. But they only give values on vehicles built between 1946 – 1979. So you are on your own for the first three in the list.

Specific values of these cars would depend on their condition, options, and originality.

Documentation also has much to do with the value. The ones you see going for the big bucks on the auction shows on TV are well documented with matching numbers engines. If you can locate the original build sheet for the vehicle, this is a good place to start.
