Stay with Vic or get a Mustang STV Cobra 03
Hey guys,
I made a post earlier this week about buying a car to fix up, well i got another idea, if you guys had the chance to trade in your Vic for a SVT Cobra Mustang 03 would yo do it ? Well my mom's boyfriend is a owner of a Ford Dealership and he told me they are finally going to be able to sell out SVT Ford's line and I know he will hook me up and all because he bought us a Ford Explorer so i know that he will probably just hook me, im just wondering if i should go for it or not the New SVT Cobra comes with 390 hp and 390 of tq thats a lot compared to this civic and im really thinking of doing it because i know i can get a great deal,you guys think i should go for it ?

Rep Power: 0 Ford Explorer for free?
*smells fishy*
payment for SVT Cobra equalling Civic?
that would take one hell of a downpayment.
what's there to think about?
you are either extremely lucky, or a really really bad liar.

Rep Power: 0 nice editing.
BTW I plan on ditching Civic for a Porsche GT2... I think I can get the payment down to about what I'm paying for the civic now... although my downpayment would have to be $200,000.
you know how ridiculous that sounds? you ORIGINAL POST was no different.

Rep Power: 0 i'm not knocking on you, it's just weird why you would want to take on monthly payments while paying I guess good 70% of the car's value upfront in downpayment. Might as well buy the car outright.
Mustang has some serious problems with its body and chassis.
I'd just get a SVT Focus and start a RS conversion.
or if you HAVE to spend all that money, just buy a Corvette. hell with S2000.

Rep Power: 371 My friend just got a 2003 Cobra in Mineral Grey. That is one hot stang. All he has done to it so far has added an exhaust, but he had the car dynoed and it is pushing over 406hp....not the 390 that ford claims.

Rep Power: 0 Definitely would trade, if it is a good deal go for it. No way a focus will ever compare to a turbocharged v8 mustang. The civic is a good people hauler, looks nice, blah blah, but the SVT cobra is another thing.
