Mysticobra Convt. 2004

2004 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra 2dr Convertible (4.6L 8cyl S/C 6M)
1 of 1 people found this review helpful

I am selling my 2001 GT and am now into a sweeeet Mystichrome packaged 04 Cobra Convt. This baby isn't just another pretty face either. (The paint does turn heads everywhere I go!) The SVT team did a wonderful job of improving performance, handling and reliability. The upgraded engine and suspension are truly magnificient! The 03s heads problem did not reappear in the 04. The rwhp seems improved from the 03 as well. Friends of mine with the 03 Cobra dynoed out @ 360-367 rwhp stock. The two 04s I have seen dynoed, including mine, were 375 & 377 rwhp stock. Needless to say, some mild mods are in the near future.

The Cobra is IT for domestic production sports cars. Corvette? I don't think so. Certainly not when you compare price to performance. BUT, it is what it is. That is, a Mustang in seriously enhanced clothing. It buzzes and rattles and could be better refined inside. BUT, drop the top and point it to the open road, and interior annoyances don't seem to matter as much.

Awesome car. Power is tremendous. I have the MystiChrome paint that changes colors, as do the seats! Car does have some flex and takes a few minutes to calm down after hard acceleration.

A True Modern Muscle Car

ultra680, 07/11/2004
2004 Ford Mustang GT Deluxe 2dr Convertible (4.6L 8cyl 5M)
1 of 1 people found this review helpful

I have owned mine for 6 months and am generally happy with it. This car is a worthy bearer of the Mach 1 moniker and accurately recaptures the raw performance of the late 60s musclecar era. The DOHC engine is a little peaky in its power curve compared with the traditional pushrod V8s so it really lauches when you hit 3000rpm and makes some sweet music. The gearing is a bit low for everyday driving. A two-speed rear end or 6 spd would be nice to have

These cars are great. In the past, Camaro and Firebird have litterally embarassed Mustang. But now, in 2003, Ford made a comeback, even though their Mustang found itself without any competition. I will petty any Camaro SS driver or "Firechicken" driver when they mistake this car for one of the previous models. Then, now in 2004, the Mustang finds itself head to head with an old rival, the legendary Pontiac GTO. The Cobra still wins of course... but what will happen when Dodge comes out with the Charger... yes, they are comming out with their dead Charger once again... who will win, I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

It is a lot of drive a convertible specially living in southern California. Overall performance is average, noisier than expected, heavier on gas than the manufacturer claims. Clean interior design though with lower quality materials. Hand break plastic cover is already thorn after 4 weeks. If you like convertible as a fun to drive second car and don't want to spend an arm and leg for this is a good alternative, but as a first car I would pause, think carefully before making the commitment.

I would say hat i am a big wrench head (GM) but once i got my hands on my friends Cobra-R for 4 days while he was in Cali. I went strait to the track. He done stuff to the motor to beef up the super charger including intake, exaughst, downpipe, and headers. hes pushing 13 PSI and ill tell you, that is one bad ass car. i ran a couple of times(1/4 mi. of course) and was killing the good ol ZO6 corvette!!!!! fords all time greatest muscle machine is coming back to life.

Love my 2004 Torch Red Mustan!, Having one problem with it, though. On cold mornings the windows, stereo, and windshield wipers won't work until you have driven the car for about 10-15 minutes. Taking it in to see what the problem might be. Other than that, it's gorgeous! Handles well! And is good on gas.

The car was ok until it hit 1800 miles. Then a fuel injector problem caused it to shut off while driving at highway speed. A couple of months later, there was a huge puddle of transmission fluid on the garage floor thanks to a faulty rear transmission seal. So I get that fixed only to have the battery go dead a few weeks later. As of this date, the battery has gone dead 5 times and the problem is still not fixed. The dealership has replaced the alternator on one visit. On another visit they replaced the radio and the amplifiers for the MACH 460 sound system. On the 3 other visits they say "can't duplicate concern". Ford = Fix Or Repair Daily.

My 5th Mustang is this awesome 2003 Mustang Mach 1. Tons of power for the street or drag strip. Lots of style that's appreciated by young & old. Interior is a little tight, and it took a while to adjust the seat just right, but looks good with a few aftermarket billett pieces!

I loved driving this car! I purchased new and just sold due to unemployment. I previously owned an 02 Lightning. I am sold on everything that the Coletti SVT group put their stamp on. This came to an end with the release of the 2005 GT. I find it sad that folks are still buying live axle mustangs/shelby's when they had the Independent Rear Suspension for the SVT Cobra's! This 2004 Cobra Convertible was the best most advanced and most powerful Mustang "Production" car to come out of Dearborn, which shut down after the 2004 model year. SVT was special! Now, it's a badge.

My black Mustang rides like a buckboard, the leather seats are flat, the interior door panels and console are cheap. It's a Mustang for crying out loud. It's an icon, a legend. The Mach 6 CD am-fm stereo is simply amazing. Your choices for a convertible are rather limited. A Chysler Sebring, a Pontiac that they quit making, a BMW with a price tag over two times any similar Mustang. The Mustang is the only logical choice. Smooth and easy top operation. The trunk holds what it needs too. Golf clubs, baseball bags, tennis rackets, groceries, 2 medium suitcases. No its not big, its a sports car, not a luxo boat. The people that complain about this car are ill, please see a doctor.

You know now that I think about it the car is not all that great I hate it. This new type of Mustang is a mok of the old 1968 and 1969 mustang boss hoss and 302. After seeing what the old mustangs look like I think when the spring of 2005 ends I'm returning it for a Dodge turbo Neon.

I'm a young woman in my 20's who's always on the go.The excelaration of this car is second to none in its class.It is really impressive when I'm on the freeway, and I'm late for work. My mustang reacts as fast as I do! I don't have to worry about if my car will get me there on time.Gas milage is great as well. I could go all week to work and school, and still have enough gas to go to the friday night hot spot! You have to have this car! I did!

I shopped around for about 3 months and wanted another Cobra, But found this jewel, my silver GT! This car is immacculate! It has no dings or dents and handles as good as my 1997 Cobra which was the year they made only 5000. My GT is a 40th anniversary with black leather interior, excellent condition followed by a powerful 4.6 liter V8, it handles so good and sounds like the awesome Mustang it is!

I was attracted to this car by it's sharp looks and great performance, and after four years, I still love it. It may not be the fastest car on the road, but it's the biggest bang for the buck, and will surely blow off most of the boy racers. The horsepower and torque figures are claimed to be 305 and 320 respectively, but the dyno has shown substantially higher numbers. This is my fourth Mustang, the last one being a 98 Cobra, very similar to this, but I like the Mach better. Gas mileage is really very good for a performance car at 23 - 28 mpg. If you can find a clean example at a decent price, go for it. I'll be keeping mine for a long while. It's sure to be a collector.

Too good looking to pass up, always wanted a muscle car. A blast to drive and love the burble of the exhaust. Agree with other comments that 1st is too short and 5th too tall. Gas mileage seems to vary wildly for no particular reason. from 11-17 around town. Prehistoric technology that makes me smile.

Before I bought my mustang I thought, "This is a cute car but, just not for me." All the salesman had to say was, "Just take it for a spin!" After I drove the car I understood what he meant. Everything about this car was meant to please the driver. I am absolutely in love with my car and have no intentions of ever trading it in.

In true Ford fashion, the Mustang Mach 1 has been reborn. It is everything the original was, if it were to be made today. A working shaker hood, 17" heritage wheels, "comfort weave" seats and a 305hp (45 more than the GT) 4.6L engine to power it. This is a retro muscle car lovers dream. I have loved mine since the first mile I test drove it, and with every mile thereafter. It is a thing of beauty with a hint of beast lurking underneath!
