Hi everybody-new here-great forum!! I have a dilemma. I really miss my 93 cobra. I am in a position to buy a new L or cobra. My problem is as follows. Will there be improved horsepower on 03 lightning? Will there even be one in03? If I get the cobra will i roll it for 12-18 months and then there is a new body style cobra with a 5.0 block and just as much or even more horse than the 390 on the 03 cobra. Sorry for all the ?? but this is a real investment that I would keep for a while(company car =daily driver). Thanks for everything. Signed, Clueless in Wichita

 

I think that if ford makes a Lightning in 03, it will be right up there with the 03 Cobra. There will be too much competition in the near future with sport trucks not too.

 

Its all up to you ......... if you wana sport truck,or a sport's car, Ive allways been into sport trucks since i saw the GMC syclone, then i got my Ranger supercharged it...and 1999 came along and oh my god !!! I had to get one so 2 years i work my *** off and augest of 2001..... i have a 99 Red lightning with 4500 miles in my drive way!! with about 12 people wateing for the truck to drop it off!!! I tell you from the first !!!! time i turned that key ! i have never love a truck so much im life......... but like i said it's all up to you !!


Dave,


P.S GET THE LIGHTNING !!!! in red !!!! lol

 

I realize the diff between the truck and car- my major issue is will Ford raise the bar so much on both vehicles next year that I would be happier if I waited until the new models are out for late 03s or 04s. Thanks again!!

 

I'd say wait for the new G.T. 40 to come out and get that. Better place your order now though!!

Either that or wait a few years for the Lightning. I do miss shifting gears in a car, but that also got old real quick. I love my truck, and there are only a few things that I would/am going to change to fit my lifestyle. But that's all personal opinion. What do you want? A fast car, low to the ground, where you are sure to have fun, or a fast truck (can be made low to the ground) where you are sure to have fun. No one can make the decision for you.
