    I love driving it. I use it as my daily driver. I'm still working out a few issues. After that everything should be good. I took the nitrous off, so I'm only as fast a a 17 lb whippled cobra now, but thats okay. I think in the future I might try for somemore power, but it'll do for now.

    The car is great now. When I got it I was very happy. but after a few days started to see the flaws. I changed the oil which didnt look like it had been changed in a while. It had 3 after market brake rotors and 1 stock one. The radio wouldnt eject the cd's that were in it so I had to take it to ford. Turned out they were the re-write cd's and guess they dont work good in stock radios. Thought I smelled weed in the car. sure enough took it to the police station and had a k-9 search it and found little pieces of it in between the seats. So I have fixed all of that now I just need some caster camber plates and an alignment because thats all messed up. After that I should be good to go. I sold my previos 93 cobra to get my wife and myself a nice down payment on a house in return I could get an 03'-04' cobra. So this is the one ive been waiting for. The wife said I need to sell the R1 before I buy a car but explained to her this is the cobra I want. Unfortuneately the R1 hasnt sold yet.
