As much as I have planned for my truck and as much as I like it I have decided to go ahead and trade her in when the 2003 Cobras get in. I fell in love with the new cobras because ford finally gave them a pair. I was at the dealership yesterday and was picking some colors and such. Looks like I'll have the soic blue coupe with the chrome rims and the standard 6 speed and 390hp.....the prices aren't as high as I expected, $35,000. But with bout 8,000 from my truck a $5,000 down payment it not that bad at all! Well anyways I thought I would let you guys know. It's just no fun being in the military without a bad *** sports car!

 

Sounds good, but your age dictates a DRASTIC increase in your insurance...going from an F-150 to a Cobra... Good Luck and have fun with it!

 

I wouldnt mind having a cobra myself. Dude make sure you get an insurance quote because that is the reason Iam not driving my GT any more. Insurance was a lot more then I could afford.

 

nice choice. ive heard that some dealers were charging 3-5k over sticker. what was your sticker? i could not even imagine what the insurence would be for me in a cobra. i pay 160 a month for a v6 truck

 

Well I had to put $500 down for the order. Since my family and i have bought 5 cars from this dealer in the past 3 years they gave me a break on the sticker so it ended up being just $35,695. That has been the best sticker price that I have been able to find by talking to others wh are ordering the new snakes. I am planning to pick up my car right off the assembly line , me and my buddy are going to make the drive from columbus , ga. I still have to pay some $300 prep fee. Overall my payments are going to be 401.35 a month and my insurance will go up from my 150/300/150 for $98 a month to 250/500/250 for 216 a month on the cobra. The cool thing is I'll be riding up im my friends 98 SS and I will spank him all the way back to GA.

 

Hope you like the color PURPLE!

Neighbor has a new "sonic blue" GT. He thought it was purple. I had to tell him it was "sonic blue" To each his own.

Congrats on a killer car!

 

True, the first time I saw the color in person was on a new GT. It was an overcast day and it looked purple as hell but then I got closer and it was just an awesome shade of blue, I happened to go back a few days later to seal my deal and that same car in the bright sunshine looked awesome, it's almost a mystic type of paint. It'll be unique and with that much power not many people can talk much trash I can't wait to have to start correcting people on the color of my car, it's BLUE, not purple....

 

that would be sweet to go pick it up as it came out dont beat him to bad, wait till you get home and put some money on it

 

I just can't wait to see what 2 more lbs of boost, longtubes, eshaust, a MAF, TB, and chip+dyno tune will do to the beast. The 4v'ers respond so well to boost and airflow mods just imagine what freeing up this motor would give you! I can't wait.

 

Yo man, congrats on the Cobra. They are the crap.

Mustangs are practically GI Issue down there at Fort Benning. I never wanted one so bad as when I was in the Army. Never bought one though.

 

This will be my third stang and hopefully many more will follow, I just wished I would have held on to the other two. They were all paid off but I didn't and still don't have anywhere to put them! But that's OK, just in case I ever was without a mustang to drive, I had the running pony tattoo'd on my arm And no, there is not an f-150 tattoo, that's just wierd.
