Bought the Sonic Blue 03 Cobra for $34.2K

[SteveGT]

Well guys, I did it. I bought that Sonic Blue 03 Cobra coupe on Monday for $34,200. Left the lot at 4 p.m Monday. Fell asleep at 9 a.m. Tuesday. Broke it in as of tonight (500 miles), did my best to keep it below 4000 rpm during that period.

I could type a long detailed report about this car. We've all read about the 03's in the magazines, so I'll just say this:

The car is a fighter jet. The overall performance of this vehicle is well worth the five months of 12-16 hour days it took to save up for the downpayment. The IRS has eliminated the whippy rear end. The steering and suspension leaves little to be desired. And when you begin to think the car is tame, downshift, then stomp. The beast leaps several thousand RPM's, rips off it's shirt, throws you in the seat and goes ssssskreeeeee!!! IMO, the scariest feature of all in the 03 Cobra, on the highway sixth gear is very usuable.

If you can get the will to hold on to your mod money for a period of time, DO IT. Start now. Forget the headswap, put the cash in the bank. Vortech for your GT? Save it, buy a 4V with a blower, a boost gauge and a warranty. Hold the cheese on a whopper. Whatever it takes, start now.

I don't have a digital camera, but I'll try to get one or buy one so I can post pics for you guys. Also, I can give out contact information regarding the dealership who gave me this excellent deal.


What a car.


I hope some way or another, everyone in the Modular forum will get a chance to at least ride in one of these new Cobras. I live in STL, PM me if you are interested.

Alright, gotta go change my sig...
