So I have to ask, what do you think they are exactly after?
U have NO IDEA! Stealing HONDAS is childs play...Stealing COBRAS??? These boys are out for the BIG MONEY! Motors by themselves can sale for anywhere from $5000.00-7000.00 with 6speed tranny... Then yes...Suspension is IRS... Unlike MOST Mustangs of the years are solid axles... IRS would be better for road racing and some say more fun to drive... as for the Solid axle is primarily used at the strip... But it goes on and on...such as interior and even body trim... When all said and done... A theif can look at close to $10,000.00+ per COBRA! Just go to SVTPerformance . com and u can see 2003-2004 Cobra parts sell like HONDA parts there on that forum and ppl have money to spend! and sell FAST! (not stolen parts... SVTP example of person to person sales and price and demand for these type of parts...) Or use em for their personal swaps and mods to older year Mustangs..............So, like I said... This is NOT your childs play HONDA's... Just sad to see and hear...Those type of ppl and actions have come to this side of the field... GOOD NEWS is::: U will also hear a lot of dead theives in making a attempt to steal these cars... WE DON'T PLAY or TOLERATE!

My boyfriend and friends bought an LS1 full swap from a car that was t-boned. What they sold the transmission for alone paid for more than half of what they bought the swap for.
See I get it and I never understood why kids who steal Hondas think they are stealing something so great. A 140 bhp motor compared to one that was nearly 300 stock. Really?
Anyway. I'm from Chicago. When I lived there it was the domestics, Espeically the Grand Nationals, that were stolen on a daily basis. I move to Florida and its Honda theft city.
Thanks for the info. Keep it on lock down.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.
