    I feel so bad for this poor Cobra!

    I actually think it is kinda cool. Sorta Lambo like....

    '01 Cobra with 6300 miles...

    That's a nice price for a VERY low mile '01. What color?

    What can I get for my 1999 Cobra?

    Alot of buyers don't want to pay for engine mods. I even stay clear of Cobras with blowers already on them. You just don't know what it looks like "inside".

    Stainless Break Lines

    Already did that on the fronts which is supposed to be 80-90% of the stopping power and can't really tell the difference! :bang:

    Stainless Break Lines

    No way my Grand Prix is lighter than my Cobra. Yeh the engine is a 6 instead of a 8, but the Prix is a four door and about a foot longer.

    FIPK or BBK CAI

    Densecharger - it's black and matches the other factory parts and is made out of PVC so it does not heat up the air like a chromed piece does.

    Stainless Break Lines

    Then how in the world do we get rid of the "sponginess" of older brake systems? My 04 Grandprix GT feels like it will stop twice as fast as my Cobra and it's a four door with smaller discs! :bang:

    Launching

    Trying to figure this one out myself. 2000rpm seems to low and 3000 seems to high. With one I almost bog and the other I spin out.

    New size tires for my '01 Cobra? Need opinions.

    I didn't think that anyone made a 255/40, only a 255/45. Either way changing to a 255 will throw off your speedo a little, so just be aware. I just purchased new wheels and rear tires for my 97 a couple weeks ago. I kept the 245s up front cause I think they fill the well fine and don't mess...

    Slotted and Crossed Drilled Rotors

    Don't do cross drilled unless you just really like the looks. They weaken the rotor and will crack under high stress.

    My new 2003 cobra track times!!

    That's really not very good considering the new '05 runs mid 13's bone stock n/a'd. I saw an '03 Cobra vert run 12.92 at a local track last Friday night. I was expecting mid to high 12's from it.

    Jacking the Pumpkin

    I jack under the car near the torque boxes just in front of where the rear lower control arms connect. That's where the Chilton's manual says to do it.

    Help! 460 Radio Problem

    A blue wire is usually a speaker wire. The power wires are usually red, black, and green. With the new cars I am just not sure. Doesn't sound like a fuse since you get clock and all, but check them just to be sure. There are two, one under the dash and one under the hood. Get the din...

    Rear tires wearing on inside edge?

    Could it be that the stock control arms apply more pressure on the inside of the wheel that is wider??? That may be way out there, but I would contact Steeda just to see what they say.

    possible project, need help with situation

    I agree, keep a 93 Cobra pretty much stock for collecibility purposes. Get you a early 90 5.0 Mustang LX and do the swap. A late model Cobra motor would push it into the 11s in the quarter just because the body is so light weight. There are alot of those 5.0 LX's still around. You could put a...

    First Mod For the Snake (Catback Exhaust)

    Sorry, but the Flows do sound good but don't really add much HP or torque. I had them on my 86GT, but did not see much of a difference until I added a Magnaflow X-Pipe and shorty headers to it. I have read several comparative articles that Bassani and SLP don't add but about 3-5HP. I agree...

    Why did #5 die?

    I think we all assumed that you drive a 5.0 due to the picture next to your title. I really would not begin to know what to do on one of these 32valve 4.6 mod engines. A pushrod 302 is a little simpler than a dual overhead cam modular engine. Good luck to you. Let us know how it goes.

    96-98 Cobra pro-cons...

    To quote the SVT Recognition Guide, "Ford subcontracted the casting of the aluminum block to Teskid, an Italian company located in Carmagnola, Italy....It is visually interesting casting, as it incorporates lots of cast-in-ribbing for added strength. The pistons ride in cast-iron liners. An...

    98 Becoming the 2004 Beast

    I am not for sure, but I think there are several differences. The 96-98s have two distributors whereas the 99 and up have the coil on plug set up. I also think there is a difference in the entire upper intake on these years.

    Wheel & Tire options for my '97 Snake???

    I could use some help from you guys out there that have added aftermarket wheels & tires to your 94-98 Cobras. I want to fill out the rear fender well better and get a wider tire such as 275 or more. Obviously the stock wheels are probably not going to support this. I have thought about wheel...
