    Got Some Detonation Going On.

    Mt '01 pings like a mofo too. Very sensitive to temperature - run it to work on a cold morning and it's a champ, run it home the same afternoon in 90 degrees plus and it's marbles city. I'm going to try going one gap colder plugs next and swap out my MAC hot air intake for a JLT. We'll see.

    Deal of a lifetime or SCAM??

    not sure where the ad was posted but I got a reply like that on an autotrader ad. I forwarded it to customer support and they deleted it immediately no questions asked. Big SCAM. Those f'ers should be hung by their balls. But there's a sucker born every minute so I'm sure some people fall for it.

    Looking to buy 99 Cobra, need advice

    I think 16.9 is high for a '99 with that many miles. I think you could find a low mileage '01 within your 18K budget.

    It only lasted two week! 03 owners must read!

    I think it'll be difficult to pursue a lawsuit against FMC on a modified car. That thing was generating significantly more hp&tq than the factory intended. Nevertheless, glad nobody was hurt.

    Assuming your wheels are the correct offset you should be all good in the 'hood.

    18" Rims on 01 Cobra

    I think the 265/35 and 295/35 is a good choice and I haven't heard of anyone having IRS clearance problems with it. FYI: that's also the stock set-up Saleens use and it looks pretty damn good.

    pretty sure your 2.8 and tune already voided the warranty so go ahead and order the parts yourself.

    TSBs for 2001 Cobra?

    well that's somewhat comforting - mine's only got 23K miles on it and I don't really beat on her. hopefully the 32V has a long life ahead of it. for the hell of it, maybe I'll mention it at my next service and see what they say. thanks!

    TSBs for 2001 Cobra?

    uh, thanks....however, I don't see my issue addressed so that doesn't really do much for me. Anyone with the pinging issue ever get it resolved? Do you think I have anything to worry about with light pinging or should I just accept it as a fault of certain '01s?

    TSBs for 2001 Cobra?

    Anyone know if a TSB was ever issued for the pinging problem on '01 Cobras? This issues seems to be getting worse on my snake (maybe due to the increasingly warm weather). I use the max available octane in CA (91) and have tried higher octane additives. Nothing helps. I only hear the ping...

    Installing roll bar - hurt the value?

    I think, if anything, it would just narrow your target market. I can't imagine there are a lot of people that would specifically look for a cage equipped car. Many might shy away from the car because it had been raced. So bottom line, it probably wouldn't really hurt or help the selling...

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

    You'll get sidewall bulge with 275's on the 17 x 8s. I think it looks like crap but that's just me. I agree with TXSnakeCharmer about sticking with the 245s or 255s on stockers. And I assume you were kidding about CS. But if youwere not, just keep your eyes open and you'll see him post a...

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

    295's will NOT fit on the stock wheels. 275's is pushing it. BTW: how the hell did CarrollShelby get un-banned?
