roots charged is teh best

That's my all time favorite car you just bought, I'm super jealous. Absolutely stunning car man. Appears to be stone stock too, even down to the pony emblem in the grill, you never really see many 03-04's with that anymore, usually see the snake in place of it.

im not a vert fan but its a badass ride none the less

**KahanaReef** · 12-20-2010, 05:52 PM

Congrats. It really is a beautiful color

Ya ya I've read all the varying opinions and discussion of roots vs twin screw of course. All I can say is, if twin screw is better, then wow it must REALLY kick ass, cause this roots kicks ass! Took me an entire day to notice that there is a boost guage on the dash!!

mwahahahaha nah I am kidding, I would never rub it in. Much

Yeah I've noticed most Termis around here (that's like maybe 5 that I have ever seen) have the snake instead of the pony. Good eye...

Thanky thanky. I've never seen anything like it in person. It's really amazing to look at!

I mean compared to turbo, centrifugal etc. on a mild street car. Throttle and get instant go at any rpm..

Oh yeah the response is quite noticeable in any gear, even at low rpms like you say. Even in 5th, though not so much in 6th of course, when cruising...

He never said otherwise.

And make no mistake about it, the 03/04 Cobras are a very respectable performance car. Anyone that knows anything about performance cars knows how dangerous an 03/04 Cobra is.

nice pickup man, dont neglect the bird now

**Packy** · 12-20-2010, 07:20 PM

I told you so! Congrats on the purchase and nice car! The twin screw is also a good feeling!

Yeah they held their value better than the 02-04 ZO-6's did. Which is really surprising but when you look at the limited numbers they built and then think about how many were totaled. There are not very many left around thats for sure...

**BLK2KSS** · 12-20-2010, 08:13 PM

Nice! The 03-04 cobra is one of the few Fords I would love owning! Do a pulley swap, tune, intake, headers and exhaust and you will be very happy with her for a while.

Very nice Cobra! Not a huge vert fan, but nonetheless... love 03/04 Cobra.

**Schmalgar** · 12-21-2010, 10:42 AM

Thanks guys!

Here's some more pictures from the dealership, they just sent me a link to all their photos. Carmax of all places ended up with this bad boy by the way. And the office was all a-buzz apparently, because I set a new sales time record. The car had been on the floor, officially for sale for about 15 minutes when I walked in! It had been on their website a few days but they had just gotten it prepped and processed. Nobody could believe it went back out the door that fast. I walked in 5 minutes before another guy who was coming to look at it. The other sales guys said he asked if that other guy bought it, and he said 'fuck!' when they said yep

You can see from these why I thought the car was 'blue'. I guess because it was a rainy/cloudy day and there was no direct sunlight, so the color didn't seem to change as their perspective changed.
