Was Spending $30,000 for my 2004 Cobra WORTH IT??
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- Ever since I bought my 2004 Terminator Cobra for $30,000 cash I've always wondered, "was it truly worth it?" Well, I think it was to a certain extent but I definitely think making changes in the future is an option! Maybe Gen3?

What would *YOU* do if Medusa was yours? Keep it or go 2019 10 Speed 5.0?? ALSO! Check out Ted's change up on Lucifer5.0!! ruclips.net/video/7xAz2xOHDZE/видео.html
Keep your babies bro. Both were huge milestones. Work your way towards a 10spd if that's what you want. At the end of the day, it's on you bro.
Some concave wheels on the rear would be 🔥🔥🔥. That's the way to go, bro.
Keep the cobra man imo. You got a good one and they just are gonna go up n up. The beat ones and the mint ones so you would have to find a clean one again if you sold it. The 03-04s are the cars that started ALL these monster hp cars you see today. True icon
That is one of those cars I think you should keep. There will always be more faster and interesting mustangs coming out in the future or ones you could build. However, their is only one 2004 Cobra in black with your name on it.
Gt350
Derek, you own a classic Mustang. Let's just call it now; the 2003-2004 Mustang SVT Cobra is a classic Mustang. $30,000 is the typical price for that beauty. People lose interest in the "newness" of any car because they have short attention spans. Cold hard truth. Definitely keep the Cobra; hell it's your dream car! But, if you gotta keep selling and buying to keep the channel up, do it. Do what's best for your income and the channel.
If it really was his dream car, he would be making a video basically testing everyone else’s opinion on it. It’s only his opinion that matters, so it kills me to see this guy searching so much.
But I agree with you, I hope he keeps it too!
@@Wretched2JZ or he's making the video for content purposes and knows it'll stir up conversation in the comments like it is now 😂 if you go back to the video where he bought it you see how much it means to him. Content is content.
Cobra is one of my dream cars. I must have it before I die!
he lost hella money buying that 2020 5.0
@@zacharydavis9129 Let's just hope he can earn that money back by racing (which, if his car is upgraded right, should be able to).
IMO keep the Cobra, they're rare. Trade blucifer and get a 19. With that you'll have a iconic stang and a modern stang
I second this. Keep the Cobra and slowly build it up to be badass asf and daily a 10spd that you could easily trade Blucifer for
Facts bro. Blucfer been here for a minute. He's already done pretty much everything possible to it and made loads of content. Time for the termi and another car to enter the DBP channel for content
@@nickadkins7765 he hasn't done everything possible lol. It is still on a stock motor for God's sake. Plenty of stuff to do he's never even really raced it hardly or anything. What's the point in building something with alot of power if you hardly ever even use it.. everybody has a boring but fast 10 speed they're dime a dozen and way overdone imo. Everybody has one. Both of these cars are way cooler and more unique than a dime a dozen new gt everyone and their mamma has. People just always think they need the latest and greatest gotta keep up with the Jones so to speak. He'd get alot more content out of both these cars if he'd actually use them as intended.
Yeah a Terminator and a S550 coyote is better than 2 coyotes
@@midnight347 true, but I get why he doesn't just want to destroy his cars racing and doing wild stuff also, if he goes out and blows a motor or trans or wrecks he's out way more money than he'd get off the content. But he needs to get a little less valuable car (like a cheaper new edge and build a motor and go wild) and do some wild stuff to make the content more interesting in my opinion
Derek, you have a rare legend of a car on your hand. Like a literal legend in the car world. The value of these cars are only going to go up. I’d say keep the Cobra man, and this is coming from someone who has a Coyote. I’d say if you did sell this car, you will miss it, probably more than other Mustangs you’ve had, especially if (when) the prices keep going up. You have a gem, hold on to her!
Either way, I’ll support you man. Been here since 2017 and will continue to be here!
The 03-04 Cobra is a TRUE ICON. Dont feel pressured to move it for fresh content. Many of us LOVE content on these!!! Keep it up!!!!!
So true… when you start getting multiple cars it’s hard to get rid of them too lol. I have a 12 Roush and a 17 GTCS and I’ve debated getting rid of the 12 for a GT350. I say keep the cobra those cars are getting harder and harder to find in that condition. I’d get rid of blucifer before that car lol. That car right there in black was my dream car back in the day
Sell the 17 no point in having 2 s550s and those roush are badass
@@Enrique-rs2vf agreed. It would be cool to have a s197 Roush and s550 gt350
@@Enrique-rs2vf only reason I got the 17 was for the automatic option. Wifey can’t drive the Roush because it’s a stick lol. Trust me I was close to just getting the gt350 when I bought the 17. I just got the mustang with the most options and the automatic
Yeah I’m trying to get a regular gt 2002-05 with 85-110k mileage it’s hard prices are way overpriced
Nice to see a coyote owner who isn't an elitist. Many of the turn their noses up at older cobras even terminators because they think their coyote is so superior the older one isn't even worth having lol. Not a shot at coyotes I love them but it's just some of these owners who annoy me. I have an 07 gt500 I love it always wanted a terminator too but found a steal in the gt500 so I got it because it's a very similar car and also very good. The coyote guys act superior to shelbys too especially 07-09. Idk any people just can't be car guys and appreciate all of them especially ford's if they're supposedly a Ford person.
The Terminator is a legend. You got your Terminator for a steal. The one you have is a very clean example. I'd say keep it, it will hold its value much better than a dime a dozen S550 5.0.
I’d love to see 19 with the 10 speed there just too good. But I’d trade bluecifer over Medusa that cobra is just gunna go up in value
Fr a boosted 10 speed is nuts!!!
Nuts but boring. I drove my buddys 10 speed auto and its fast but so non engaging.
@@aceburgers8801 My buddy as a Whipple 10 speed basically FBO with a borla exhaust definitely a crazy car. Everyone has a preference. Personally I live in an area that has a lot of traffic and recently had a hand/arm surgery so I kinda prefer the auto route. Would drive stick if I could but sometimes auto is nice bc of the traffic! Even with Motec + an auto can be even crazier on the track!
Keep the cobra man! Trust me you’ll get tired of seeing another 5.0 every time you go out somewhere. Always a nice feeling to be a little unique
Facts
Agreed. I have a cobra too but its a 97 and it does feel good not seeing someone drive the same car as me on every other block like you see with these new muscle cars.
That’s not just any new edge that is the car that almost put alot of companies out of business because nothing could compare when the terminators came out for years and they can still hang with the new school stuff almost anyone who likes mustangs and know them knows the terminator
I think content demand would grow for it if you did more with it on the street, maybe at the track etc. That’s where 03/04 cobras earned their reputation 15 years ago. It already makes good power and is capable of more safely. And honestly I’m fine with the Coyote hitting the road and replacing it with a newer 5.0 platform
This is exactly what I think!!! People don’t get bored of the car it’s the creator they get bored of
Agreed I mean zero quarter mile stuff, there’s a couple big brake kits, subframes etc to make it handle do a few timed events or modded vs a 550 chassis would be cool
Cobra is just iconic man. It’s been your dream car, and now you have it! Blucifer is your baby, but you might be better off selling that car to upgrade to a 10 speed Gen 3. That new edge is just sick as hell man 🔥🔥
There is a raw feeling of the Termi that is isn’t easily replaced. Yes the new S550’s are amazing, I have a 2018 GT PP1, 6 speed with Magnaride but I still break a neck looking at Termi’s
All facts
There's alot of you tubers out there thriving that don't have to buy a new car every 3 months. They build, race, and enjoy the old cars they have. There's no use to boast about buying 30k dollar 700hp car if you can't beat on it because you're worried about tearing it up. You should have bought a stock cobra. Or took the money you made from selling the fox and made blue into the track car like you had planned. Why buy a s550 for coyote content? You have a 700 hp coyote you can make content with. Take it to Virginia motorsports Park and see what it can do. That will bring you views.
I'm with you bro. He keeps thinking he has to keep buying new cars to keep content going and views up when in reality if he'd just use the cars he has as they were built for that would keep content going and views up. People get tired of seeing tailight and wheel swaps which is the majority of what he's been doing of late. He built the coyote for over 700 horse and has barely used it. It makes no sense to me. He is lost in this train of thought that says you gotta keep getting newer stuff for views and that isnt true. There are plenty of things left to do on both cars and plenty of content to be had without changing out either of then. Race the 5.0 at the track. Race the cobra at the track. They're tough cars made to run its already modified so idk why he's worried about "future value" anyways. Mod the damn things and run them that's what they were made for and that is what we all wanna see. Plenty of newer mustang channels to watch if that is what ya wanna see. We wanna see THESE cars which is why we're here. We just wanna see THESE cars being used.
My dream car is a 03 SB. I honestly couldn't spend 30k plus on a 20 year old car. So I bought a brand new 21 gt 10sp auto pretty much fully loaded with a warranty. Definitely happy with my decision
Trade me
Being a JDM guy. I appreciate this car a lot. It’s a great car. Super clean interior
You basically own a piece of automotive history/ford history right now with the Cobra. I'd suggest part ways with one of yr other projects instead and bring in something else new, like the new 10 speeds or even like a gt350 do some track videos or strip videos change it up a bit keep the 🔥 going!!
Ok here I go. Terminator is an icon. Only sell/trade for (my opinion) 13-14 gt500 or 18+gt350. Don’t do the 10 spd sissy stuff, get a manual. Or get another 5.0…. But twin turbo. Love your vids.. stay safe bro
Keep it, you won't regret it. Sell it and you WILL regret it. Take my word for it. I sold a 2004 Mach 1 with 8,000 miles on back in 2008, and I still regret it.
Dude I’ve been happy as a clam with my 02 GT 2V for over three years now and it doesn’t even put down much power. You have to watch how much you chase the top of the mountain. $30,000 for that car is a ton of money depending on who you ask. But if your happy with it and completely understand the significance of that car in the time and place it was new then it’s worth every penny. Now my dream mustang is the 2000 SVT Cobra R being I’m 38 and was a teenager when these cars were new. That’s my pinnacle. Love the content keep it up bro. 😊
I have an 04 GT Anniversary addition.... don't think I'll ever part with it ... 18 years with it and when I open the garage door and see it .. my heart still skips a beat ..... it's looks vintage setting next to the wife's 2021 GT
I'd keep it and find you a different project to pull views with ... thanx for the vid and keep it real
Derek, If I was in your shoes I would keep the Terminator Cobra just because in the long run you could get possibly 2-3 times the money you paid for it and honestly I like the Terminator Cobra more than Blucifer.
I'm not sure if you still have the cobra or not,I'm 56 years old,I had a black gold pined stripped 79 Trans am,i was 18 when I was 19 I traded it off,I've had some beautiful cars in my time but if I could go back,I'd still have that car today,I was stupid,lol you seem to be a hard working young man,that car 15 years from now will go 70,000 easy,it's how the world works,the car is rare right now it's a rare car,hold on to it you will be like me old and wishing that one thing that was very wrong.thank you for sharing with us,take care friend.
Everyone has the new ones. I get more looks when I pull up with my boosted SN95
As long a you can make your money back or more is never a bad investment. That goes for anything, enjoy it while you have it.
Bro just put some grabber blue brembo in the front and some nice black wheels it would be sooo clean. I'm from Quebec , Canada and i watch every single video you make. im here to see the cars evolve so i think the more upgrades/mods and racing video you do the more audience you gonna grab in my opinion. Keep posting i love watching your vlogs💯
Come on man that was your dream car, it's in my top 5 of cars I want to own. I say keep it do subtle mods try different wheel combos carbon hood etc, keep all the factory stuff don't sell any of it. You want views put a shout out to The Italian Stallion's 10speed and let's see them in a friendly competition. U drags would be awesome. Put it beside Joel and from a role we as viewers want to see it eat. And we want to know is the best Cobra ever made still relevant. I'd say it very much is. We want to see it line up against Blucifer. The car is just as amazing as Blucifer. Racing = views, hit up a road course with it and the vette,
This car is absolutely way anead of its time. A true gem. If I were in your position, I would never sell such an iconic machine. One of my favorite cars. I would be driving it daily and never get tired
there is nothing “special” about the new 10 speeds. don’t get me wrong, they’re amazing platforms and i do see the appeal. but a terminator is freaking legendary and there is that “special” factor to them, even if they do have some issues since they are becoming older cars now. lots of people have 10 speeds and coyote cars in general, whereas not nearly as many have a terminator
Right, I hardly see any new edges around anymore and it makes happy whenever I see one driving around town.
I only care about the cars you’re going to keep and build, doesn’t matter new or old.
I love the cobra
Glad to see someone else feel this way. I'm over all the "I just sold my 2019 Hellcat to buy a 2022 Hellcat redeye". I love watching people just love on their cars and make it their own.
Make some racing context with the cobra!! Drag strip, Mexico action, all that we’d never get tired of that and it would pull in a lot of new viewers. Also eventually going to a new 3.0 whipple, t56 magnum, stuff like that mod it so viewers stay interested you know. Everyone’s seen a 10 speed. I’m one of the die hard viewers and I’ll watch/ support no matter what but a 10 speed is just boring lol
honestly u dont need different cars for views bro just do more with them like to the track more racing , car shows , moreeeeeeeee race car stuff
Don’t even once question or doubt that purchase, its an incredible car
Hold it, I would definitely sell the 5.0 before the terminator..The termi is the next Supra..It will go over 100k in 10 years with the right condition and miles..
🤣😂🤣 yeah okay bro.. lmao I'd love to live in your dream land haha
@@RatstangGarage they have already sold for over $75k..
@@RatstangGarage you have no clue what you're talking about man and your comment just proves that. Do little more research on a car you don't know anything about before making stupid statements.
@@NewEdgeDesigns yeah for 900 mile mystichromes lmao which are already the most expensive new edge besides a 2000 cobra r.... a 2000 cobra r is an investment not a fucking terminator cobra. Lol
@@midnight347 lmao I own a new edge and know plenty about them im in all the forums on fb I have books on them they are my favorite car... so um what now??? Lmao
Me and my pops shared his 03 anniversary vert… got it for 20k out the door in 2016… she’s no longer with us but pops moved up to a 750i M(X) and he still catches a hissy fit Everytime he see’s one cuz he says it’s a irreplaceable feeling, even tho it’s an old creaky 99 based interior
I'm a die hard mustang fan with a new edge of my own, but recently the e92 M3 has caught my eye. You can pick one up for around 25k. I never thought Id get a European car, but the high revving v8 combined with the DCT and wide fenders, id love to see one on the channel.
I don't think he wants to replace rod bearings every 50k or less. I might buy one as my next but, only with a manual. Most aren't going to replaced rod bearings every so often.
This guy finally gets his dream car he’s been wanting his whole life and within months already thinking about selling it for what?Because he wants more views? Lame af. You got a killer deal on that Cobra, don’t be delusional.
Definitely keep the cobra. I’m biased cause I love the new edge styling already. But if i had to pick and choose I’d drop blucifer and get the 10 speed. Plus if you wanted to have more s197 content you can always film your buddies cars. Like you said you found 2 black terminators in a search with more miles. You can search for a 10 speed and you’ll be finding thousands of them.
If you’re gonna sell a car, sell the Gen 1 and get the brand new 5.0 chassis that’s coming. You’d be able to capitalize on that big opportunity.
My thoughts as well. Medusa is new. Blucfer been around for a minute. Trade that car instead
No lie, I was driving down the H3 on Oahu Hawaii and it was pouring one night…my 98 cobra paid the price to save me. I saw yours today….my heart started to race.
I've always liked those Cobras,I don't care what anyone says, those are dope! Don't change the interior bro,it looks good the way it is.
Keep that nostalgic beast 👐🏽 I'm 29 and drive trucks I own a 2015 srt 392 charger currently and about to order a Redeye charger I prolly sell that a couple years down the road for profit but soon as I get my hands on 03-04 terminator it's not going nowhere 🎯🎯🤝🏽
I'm here for all the content but the new edge is what started the channel. That's why I started watching but I like watching all of the videos you put out
Keep it man, the terminator is my absolute dream car I've seen them appreciate from low 20's to almost mid 40's now. Especially such a clean and sought after example like yours, you can't go wrong !
Funny how things change and believe me when you have your dream car it goes away quickly, but believe me that car is an iconic car. Will continue to up in value.
Took my 03 Terminator to a car show last week sure there was a lot of really nice Mustangs But my Cobra puts a smile on my face everytime and still gets attention
Everyone and their mother has a 10 Speed, I tend to diss the Cobras time to time cause of the crappy build quality but if you’re going to trade it for anything it should be a Boss 302, or a GT350.
You hit the nail on the head the 10 speeds are way overdone. The cobras are legendary and it isn't for their interior. They have a stout driveline and he needs to use his as intended. Both of them need to be ran more street and track. We wanna see what they can do.
@@midnight347 Cobra drivetrain was crazy in its time, and the exterior looks still hold up well. The only issue I have with the is the interior/build quality and since I’m only able to have 1 can financially, I wanted a car that does it all which is why I got a Gen 2 Premium Coyote car.
I would hold onto that car forever. It's so many peoples dream car. Its my dream car for sure
Such a dream machine!!! Very iconic stang!!
If you decide to sell let me know lol I’m planning on buying a Cobra when I sell my boosted FRS later this year.
EARS U HAVE A BOOSTED FRS???? Wtf
Is the FRS reliable? Thinking about getting on for a daily
@@Tonyk24 yea been had it a while
@@tune1398 yes if you don’t push a lot of boost through it 😂 rebuilding the engine rn
@@tune1398 not in the slightest reliable... it's a horizontal engine.. engines arnt ment to be sideways. Because of headgaskets valve train etc. Better off getting a new edge mustang if you want reliability.
personally i’d keep the Cobra for the long run, i would sell Blucifer and invest in a boosted 10 speed
Bro, you gotta keep the Cobra.
It is an icon and a new staple/turning point for your channel. I’ve been a sub since 20,000 and had loved the channel because of blue 2V.
Cycle the coyote and upgrade to the 10 speed, or a new Mach1, heck that GT350 even. The reason I️ watch the channel is against what the norm is. I️ love seeing a consistent build grow from nothing to something. But it’s always sad seeing a project go.
You 9 to grinded for the cobra, don’t sell it. Grind to keep it. Grind to flip the 2014 and update it, new sponsors, old sponsors used to upgrade a new whip.
Glad to see the success and hope to continue to see the cobra and what ever else comes into the channel.
Best
Ross
He needs to make content. drag race. meets, build an engine. Drift it donuts ya know.
I second this completely 🙏🙏🙏
I make almost $40 a hour, and anyone who makes that knows you can afford a 20 year old cobra. So sorry Derek, you’re wrong at saying 40 hours can’t get you a old cobra. I’m working Good Friday and that’s triple time, $100+ dollars an hour. There is a lot of people out there that make that kind of money so you can’t really say you have to work/do multiple jobs to afford a old cobra like this. Just my .02
I feel like you just commented this to flex how much you make. 😂
@@jaredr2518 idgaf what you feel. I said what I said because he says nobody can afford a 20+ year old car working 40hrs. I feel you replied to me because you want to go for a ride on my 🐓
From Australia, just purchased a 2002 Cobra convertible, 35000 km, black, four valve. In Australia, this car is fully Tickford, enhanced, from suspension up. Love the car, not the fastest Mustang, but fabulous to drive. Turns heads every time I drive it. Only 50 of these came to Australia in 2002, it has been a show car since.
I was thinking about this early. Actually talking to a friend about you. We came to this conclusion. You have a rare car in the Terminator. We personally would never sell it. No one will take care of it like you will. It would be wrecked by someone if you let it go. Secondly, you have a rare color in the 5.0. Grabber blue. You could dump that for a 2014 gt500. That’s what we would do. But the most important thing we came to. My friend and I don’t believe RUclips is a long term thing. It’s time to think even bigger than just RUclips. But, at the same time, if you want to stay relevant, you keep your 5.0 and Terminator and bring in something completely different to the channel. You have the Corvette. Do you bring in a Camaro? Do you bring in a Scatoack? Maybe you bring in a Supra? Go the JDM route. The possibilities are endless if you allow yourself to branch out and not stay stuck in that American Muscle box. Whatever you do, I watch all your videos so it would be dope to see. Hit the lotto, become a billionaire and then you can bring in and do whatever the heck you want on the DBP channel.
I personally think you gatta branch out of RUclips and make money elsewhere that way you won’t have to give up the 5.0 and Terminator.
Honestly man I wouldn’t sell it just to get something else for views. Your holding a huge piece of mustang history in your hands. 5.0s are everywhere. I miss the 2v content but the terminator is giving me the itch to upgrade don’t let this one go man
The actual finance of it: You can't really get a 10 speed for $35k now unless it has a considerable amount of miles. I sold my 2019 Ecoboost for 26k to carmax. Brand new 10 speeds are $50k even without a markup. To me, the S550 feels heavy compared to its predacessors. Granted, again, I had an Ecoboost but my GT new edge feels much more nimble and like a muscle car. I personally like seeing different stuff. I was happy to find a channel that had a New Edge in this day and age that wasn't just sitting or already a super built car for the track. But I understand your issue from a business standpoint. RUclips has always felt too fickle for me to be a business move.
Keep the cobra man … Bluecifer is a great car and all but that car will never have the value of a terminator cobra. It’s gonna be hard but I know once you get into a 10 speed you won’t look back
id sell it to someone who actually likes the car enough to not regret their decision to own it
Make videos with just this car and keep upgrading. You literally have one of the most iconic cars ever made. I don’t watch your videos with other cars. I may be biased considering I have a black cobra myself lol
Make more content on Medusa and cash out what you can get from RUclips out of that content and when it’s done you can always sell Medusa for a profit. You’re in a win win with the Cobra. Ultimately always do what’s best for you man!
I say keep the cobra man, the right ppl will watch the fake ones wont. Its a classic, real car enthusiasts recognize real cars. This car imo changed the game up and i wouldnt get rid of it but to each its own will continue watching regardless 🔥
Being completely honest I'd trade the s197 only because like you said the termi is an investment and a dream car. And the 5.0 are a dime a dozen you can easily do a 10 speed build and sell that for a gt350 and keep growing the Chanel
Sound and whine of the cobra never gets old love it! Not at all Derek hope you never get rid of Medusa! One day i so want to get a cobra just love them! Derek it’s your dream car it’s mine too I’d 100 percent keep it!!
I personally love the car, I'm here in Maryland and love the local content. I just spent 18k on an 02 harley davidson f150 and felt the same way. But everytime the supercharger whine Its worth every penny. Don't sell the car its Iconic but if you must for the channel go ahead.
You also will always want another one, you don't wanna spend 60k+ in the future we both know that & it's a monster
The mustang cobra from 2003-2004 somehow have been able to hold their value over years, especially if they're well taken care of.
The key is the little snake on the side and the SVT badging, the people who grew up idolizing SVT stuff are now getting to the age they can buy them and their value is increasing.
i say do what makes you happy man. IMO get rid of Blue and get the s550 you want. Hang onto the cobra
We have a 98 Mustang Cobra SVT, THAT HAD SAT FOR 10 YEARS. We picked it up for $8k and put $6k into wheels and tires, going through the engine and interior. It looks fantastic. It’s my wife’s car, she thinks. It’s the Lasor red color with the Tan top and interior, did I say it was a convertible? When driving we get the stares and comments that makes it all worth it , but I have a large two car garage attached to the house. It currents fits my Golf Cart, the Cobra and my Mercedes SL 500. My Cadillac XT5 sits in driveway and I am not happy. So one car goes….which one? Whatever you guessed, I gave up my SL 500. The Mustang we will keep til a 2004 Cobra that gets my attention. So the little old lady from the beach drives the Cobra, when I am not. 73 years old and love the Stang…………
Derek considering u have two audiences, which is new edge fans like myself, and the coyote fans, I’m here much more for the cobra content than I am blucifer, and Ik u love blucifer but if u were to get a 10r80 I would swap up blucifer, u need to have one of each to keep the fan base happy
But the cobra has to stay forever, this is the dream, it should never leave, and u can always create new content, such as a different blower🤷🏻♂️
All about buying what you want, I just purchased a 03 c5 2 weeks ago. I've always wanted one so I got a gently used one.. yes it's 20 years old, but to me it's new and perfect..
Dude same thing happens to me, my 3v just sits in my garage sometimes and when I don’t drive it for awhile I’m like why the hell did I buy this thing man I need to sell it and then as soon as I pull that baby out of my garage my appreciation and love for it just instantly comes back and I’m like why did I question this car and want to sell it I’m so stupid 😂
I like your channel because of your passion for mustangs , I personally like JDMs but I see how cool you are just meeting new people and enjoying your All American muscle cars thats why im subscribed man🙏💯
Medusa is so clean my god, I’m here for the ride no matter what you do man. But I feel like if you sale her it will be a daily regret. You been talking about a termi for as long as I been watching.
Its the same thing when older guys say a 69 Cobra jet mustang cost 100k . They are antiquated but look good.
He posted his car in our new edge group for $40k , if I had that money I buy it off of you man
That cobra is a classic, only made for 2 years. It will only increase in value and looks better than any new mustang, imo. And many others.

I bought my terminator in 05. Still have mine to this day. Its a classic.
im a big mustang guy but have you ever thought about getting something thats not a mustang? there's been a little corvette content but maybe it's time to switch it up...maybe something jdm.
Race it. Thats what people wanna see the 03 cobra beating newer cars especially Camaros and corvettes
Getting a 10spd Gen 3 would be a waste of money😂
I had a 98gt. Loved it. Sold it. Finally able to get a saleen 2001. Please keep it, drive it, enjoy it. Every time my supercharger boost up I smile. Worth more than 30000 dollars
KEEP IT!!! Save your money then buy something newer to add to the collection... An 03 DSG Cobra is on my bucket list no matter what the cost... The Terminator is an iconic car that will only go up in value over the next 20 years. It's not just a regular new edge.
I have a 2018 10 speed and definitely recommend 👍🏻👍🏻
I’d keep it bro. I’d just make some good videos with it. Like doing some runs with it seeing how it does against 392’s other 5.0’s newer 5.0’s hellcat’s stuff like that. But keep it for sure. That car is legendary. That’s the Hellcat from its time.
I started watching because of blue. I got a 99 new edge because of you and your channel.
The new mustangs are everywhere. Dime a dozen
Just focus on the content, lots of RUclipsrs out there that change cars like we change underwear and it isn't helping their channel at all. Good content and the personality of the creator will always be what wins the day. Besides that, a lot RUclips channels that are similar in size to yours are struggling to get views so maybe the RUclips bubble has burst.🤷♂️
That too. And the algorithm changes all the time. There are channels I thought stopped posting but they'd been posting as usual.
Plus the cobras hold resale value really well
10 years from now that cobra will be a 100000 dollar car, that 10 speed will be a 30000 dollar car.....happiness is priceless, make moves 👌
When I look at other channels especially car channels and I see thier growth. I can see why. They don't stay with one platform or brand of car. I don't know how you are with other car brands but widening your view to other cars could make you grow as well. Getting that corvette for your fiancé was a good start already. I have owned my newedge now for 4 years and I wanted to try something totally different. I could've went with a newer mustang and I was planing to but the I looked into other options (and I know this is not for everyone) but I went with a Kia Stinger. No it's not faster than a s550 mustang "yet". But I can get it to that point, be different than others, and enjoy working on it while having a car that is rather less known and most people don't even know what it is.
100%. i think this is the biggest deal. this channel is 99% mustang content. I own a mustang and I love them but he's gotta switch it up. I think a jdm car would be sweet.
5.0 are abundant , The 03-04 cobra is my dream car. if i had the cash i’d buy this. currently settling for a 99-04 GT until i can afford it lol.
IMO I think you should film the cobra as much as possible like you said this channel was made from the 2v Ik it’s hard to decide do I keep it as close to stock as possible or mod it and make it mine. I think you should just go all out and make it yours. Yeah it can be a investment in the next couple years but if it was about the money then should’ve just kept the money. We love the cobra. Not many terminator RUclipsrs out there man. Keep working hard. At the end of the day just comes down to you being happy bro🤘🏼and forsure forsure if you film the cobra in 🇲🇽 that will be game changer. Ik we’d all love to see that but that goes back to beating on the car and risking it breaking and what not but up to you man🙏🏼
I would think it'd be smarter to sell Blucifer and use that money to buy an S550 if it's just for newer car content. It seems like the Cobra would be something to keep since it's not content that as many people can make. It made a lot more sense to replace a New Edge with a better, more rare New Edge. But since I don't make youtube videos I could be completely wrong on that. But I also think to be happy you can't make all decisions based on money. So the Cobra making you happy is important.
I’d toss on the matching “deep” dish fronts so all the wheels match. I think what throws off the look is the oem fronts, spokes are thicker as opposed to the aftermarket ones. It’s a great looking car nonetheless 👍
agree, looks weird with offset rims
You're absolutely correct, I have never liked the big offset difference between front and rear. Have to match them on these cars.
Also u should try going to the drag strip more or do some road course racing to grab that audience as well
I think both vehicles you have are only going to go up in value. My opinion, if they’re paid for already in full, finance the next business vehicle. You’ve had three before, why not invest in the next one?
Price aside, this is your dream car. We (car people) all have one for one reason or another. I wouldn’t trade. If you want a new 10spd then go buy one. With less than 4000 made for that year, and I’m sure some were beaten badly, it isn’t like you can just run out and get one in the same condition if you changed your mind.
The Biggest and Best and rarest thing the 03-04 Cobras got were the Forged Malhe and Manley pistons and Rods and forged crank with a blower was like a $10,000 upgrade over the previous Cobra! And No one was Forging their rotating assembly…. Mustangs were getting beat down by the Camaro’s and Transam’s until they unleashed these! I had a sweet SLP Firehawk with NOS was killing everything and this Red 04 came and spanked me while spinning tires passed me! I made him pull over and seen the car I had to one day have! And did a black 03, now I have a 10 black GT500 800hp.
Definitely keep the cobra bro its a classic one of my dream cars for sure. its cool to see someone with a great RUclips channel to have one of these and make videos of it
