    Eaton Differential Case Made overseas!

    Maybe Ford could outsource the Mustang line to Honda or Toyota.... that would be a damn fine automobile. The looks/hp of a mustang with the reliability/engineering of an import.

    Best RPM to shift at?

    *In general, obviously there are exceptions.

    Best RPM to shift at?

    As mentioned earlier vettes use skip shifting to improve gas mileage... if it works for them (vettes have a larger engine, more hp and better gas mileage than our cars) then I don't see why it might not help ours. But I have no proof it does :) I do it for the reason given earlier, if I am...

    Eibach

    I did, makes the ride a little worse on big bumps, smoother on tiny ones. Looks great, the car isn't a low rider, just proper ride height (way it should have been factory). I didn't measure but the box says 1.5. You really notice getting in and out of the car.

    Shock recomendations

    I recently lowered my 2001 cobra (convertible, Eibach pros) what is a good shock to use? I prefer smoother ride over all our performance. Any other tips to smooth out the ride? Thanks.

    Best RPM to shift at?

    My previous mustang was (my first car actually) a 1979 4 banger. Imagine my surprise the first time my cobra went north of 3k and hit the "power band" =)

    Best RPM to shift at?

    I think I read that for best gas mileage shift at 2k (on cobras anyhow). No idea if that is true or not. I don't know if it helps or not, but I skip gears as well. I might run THIRD to a tad over 2k and skip fourth entirely (or some other gear). Not sure about the GT but on the cobra...

    01 Cobra, Bullit or Mach 1

    I am with Slider, mono color... I would also ditch the ugly scoop. No offense to the Mach I owners but I think they are the ugliest of the the 99+ mustangs (obviously few agree with me as Mach Is are very popular). If it were me I would just pick the one with the style you like, I doubt the...

    70 dollar oops....

    I ebayed a 2003 cobra spoiler for my 2001 cobra (really dig the look). Anyhow I go to remove the third brake light light so I can get to the harness (it was stuck up inside the spoiler) and in the process I cracked off the area where the screw goes (on the 3rd brake light). Damnit. I hate...

    01 Cobra, Bullit or Mach 1

    Personally I don't like hood scoops on anything. At least the Mach scoop is functional, I really don't like the non-functional GT scoop. Obviously everyone has different tastes. On a side note if they would have offered a Mach I minus the scoop and stripe I would have went that route...

    01 Cobra, Bullit or Mach 1

    I would go with the cobra personally (and I did). The primary reason is I think the mach I is ugly (I hate that hood scoop, the stripe and the mismatched spoiler) and the IRS is really nice for a daily driver. As far as performance I think the mach I ends up being a little faster (or the...

    Which Subframe connector?????

    Would it be worth upgrading the stock subframe connectors in my 2001 cobra vert?

    2003 Cobra Spoilers

    I hear that. About a week ago I saw one on ebay for 100 bucks (buy it now) I was too stupid to just click by, rather I emaled to ask if the light bezel was part of it. Oh well.
