That is. That is why I waited until now. I'm not about to pay any 'idiot' tax.

$38,100 - All inclusive (TTT) for a new, non-titled '03 Mineral Grey Vert.



Dam thing is going to depreciate exponentially once I drive it off the lot.. but dam, it will be fun!

Congrats on the new Cobra purchase.

Those things are monsters. Check out the following article on Blue Oval News (it's about 1/2 way down the page). http://www.blueovalnews.com

Lots-O-Power to be had in these bad boys.

Should have been more specific...

Its the Dark Shadow Grey Cobra Vert. The saleman there were like "you BOTH are buying one today?!!?"

It was sweet. The '03 Cobra coup is freakin fasssst also......

I'm having them fix a chip on the wheel-well, so I'll get it in the next day or two.... I'll change my avatar then also!

Sweet! and Congrats! We just got back from Fla. last night and stopped in one dealership that had about half a dozen and all at below sticker. Tempting indeed.. Hope you enjoy your ride! Maybe when I get my car back we can meet up and race... maybe in Rockingham or something.

I'm going to lay off the throttle for a while. Try not to run the RPM's up too much for the first 1,000 or 2 miles.

I tell ya, that supercharger sure sounds nice. No matter what gear!!!!!!



Heres a pic of the new ride!

And, yea, I got it for a shade above dealer invoice....

I guess it was a pretty good deal, especially since I'm still seeing some MACH 1's and Cobras offered for above sticker!!!!

Oops... yeah, typo heeh

The event is in Rockingham.

Just curious if you are familiar with Mark Ray in Charlotte. I've heard some good things about him and I'll be needing a custom chip soon.
