Thanks. I had to get rid of my low mileage 03 cobra to get this car, but it was worth it imo. π

It had a issue I wasn't willing to deal with, so it had to go.

Yeah I get it. Is the juice worth the squeeze.
I do love those 03 04 Cobras. Love my 93 too but those Terminators are one of the best looking stangsβ¦ but everyone has ones they like and donβt like. I like the Foxbody stangs, light and easy to work on and easy to mod to go fast. 500hp and 3000 lbs she scoots right along.

Lot of it comes down to the need for the car and then wanting to get something a bit nicer. It's why some gamers go for the 4090 and others are going for just a 4070.

Must be talking about those tires. 
That car can shred them, in the corners & from the starting line
So, the question is or for the winter / storage months?
The first "mod" that I did to my car was get a set of R888R's all the way around. On a car like that traction is a must, and a safety issue. Ive noticed during the winter months there isnt as much grip even with super sticky compound tires. My theory is that the road is cold and affects how well the tires can hook, even in dry conditions, and when the tires are "warm".

Congrats and thanks for saving the manuals!  I can only imagine the smile on your face first driving it. Got any track plans for it? I can't believe how beautiful the engine bay looks to just be greeted by that plastic expansion tank lol.

Don't plan on tracking it right now, but maybe sometime down the road.

A little extra. Just a down payment on a house. Not even close to your analogy.

I am late to this. But may I welcome you to the Mustang Madness group. So I take it the Rapid Red is another color where Ford did some magic mixology with the paint and it's different every time you look at it? I have a 2008 Vapor Grey. Since I bought it in the winter, it literally took me months to figure out it's true color. Coworker who would only see it at night under sodium lights thought it was green. Also watch out for random crowds on a sidewalk. Kinda gets weird. I am at point of of frustration. Do I keep mine. Drop a Coyote, drop a built 3v or sell it. The thought of selling it makes me sad.

Yeah but if he takes real good care of it I bet he will be able to sell it for close to what he paid or maybe even more. Even so maybe he already has a house and want a nice car, be happy for him and not so negative. His money he can do what ever he pleases with it.

The color doesn't look different every time I look at it. It does look different in the garage lighting versus outside. Outside it looks exactly like this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lxAlDvOZOQ
