I was wanting to buy an 03 that was fairly local to me with only 7K on it, better than show room new and had never even seen rain. It was modded big time, pushing 710 HP at the rear wheels, I could have picked it up for 30K. But my wife said I was not going to pay 30K for a car that didn't even have any warranty left on it. It really pi$$ed me off, so when I went looking for a new car I figured I would buy one she that she didn't like. I already knew she didn't like my 04 Xfire, sooo when I ran across the new SRT-6

Stock 03/04's would be a pretty good race. The good thing about mustangs, for the mustang owners, is that mods are a dime a dozen. You can push 500rwhp for around $1800 or less on one of those cars. SO, the BAD thing for us is that 95% of 03/04 cobras are NOT stock and will smoke us
I like them...I look at both of my 5.0's and dream at least once a week of doing a mod motor swap with the full 03/04 cobra drivetrain. Maybe some day...
The ride and handling of the New Edge SN95 mustangs isn't all that great, even with the IRS...that's where I feel the XFire takes the cake.
