Default mustang cobra owners givin you trouble?

this should shut them up

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ford Motor Company has stopped production of the 2003 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra due to quality concerns. The Cobra was first plagued with quality problems when the 1999 model was recalled over engine concerns after an article was published by BlueOvalNews. The 2000 model year was canceled, but the 2001 and 2002 Cobra models have been generally trouble free.

Sources at the Dearborn Assembly Plant (DAP), home of the Mustang, have told BlueOvalNews that Ford has been experiencing problems with the Cobra's 4.6L supercharged engine.

Both Ford Motor Company and Dearborn have CONFIRMED that all 2003 Mustang SVT Cobra production has stopped. All Cobras currently made will be released and shipped to consumers after being held at Dearborn since 21 October 2002.

Ford will try and resume Cobra production on or about 15 November 2002. Sources at Dearborn Assembly are reporting that some if not all 2003 Cobra production will be lost - Ford Motor Company refutes that by stating there will not be a loss of production.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Z may have its problems, but I dont see them halting production due to any of them, now these are SEVERE problems.

This was posted in the "Off topic" section already by m477. It is off the topic.

I don't get it? I think it's better they hault production and get it right. It's better than rolling them out to consumers.

yeah except for the thousands that have already been sold.

I applaud them for owning up to their mistakes unlike some other makers. but I also dont think its unreasonable for them to make a car that wouldnt have problems of this serious nature.

Errr... I think he meant that he stays away from Vettes and Cobras in RACING THEM because he knows he'll lose. At least that was my interpretation, which makes sense in the writer's context.
