    opinions on a contour svt

    I like those. If it is solid, I'd go for it.....although I wouldn't offer him more than 5k. He/she will more than likely settle for $5500. Good luck.

    1999 Cobra or 2000 Saleen?

    Go with the snake. I test drove a 2000 Saleen and I have a '99 cobra and the Saleen felt super slow. Body kits are for ricers anyway, which is really all you get with the N/A Saleen along with a stiffer suspension.

    What must be done to park 4 Winter???

    If you have an extra set of cheap wheels/tires, I would take the good ones off to prevent flat spots. I'd fill the tank and put some Sta-bil to keep the fuel fresh, I'd change the oil with some cheap oil right before you store it and replace it with whatever good oil you normally use when you...

    What did you give for you '03-'04 cobra?

    I think I'm going to trade in my '99 for an '03 vert with 15xxx miles and the best price I've seen is 29K. I guess it depends on the area. I looked at the '04s and the average price around here is 38k. Wow!!!

    Another pathetic newbee asking for assistance

    Price seems fair. You'll hear that the '96 snakes had cooling issues so pay close attention to that. Take a nice, long, hard test drive. I'd also run a carfax report just for piece of mind. Good luck. Ray

    The truth about gears

    I haven't noticed a difference in gas mileage. Some say you get more, some say you get less, some say it will stay the same depending on how you drive it. I see that you are planning on a blower. In that case, you might want to think about 3.73s. You definitely don't want 4.30s on a blown...

    Launching with 4.10's... impossible?

    Your friend might need more experience driving a stick. The best thing about having a manual is making the car do whatever you want it to do. As you can see, the majority of us don't have a problem at all with 4.10s or even 4.30s. Hang around the race track and you'll see exactly how the...

    Is the timing right to "strike" on a 99 or 01?

    Don't let anyone talk you out of buying a nice '99 if you run across one. Our '99s are bad-mouthed because of a problem that has already been "fixed" on most/all '99 Cobras and you can take advantage of it by finding a nice '99 for much less than an '01 which is basically the same vehicle minus...

    DYNO RESULTS FOR 99 COBRA

    With the mods in my sig, I am at 298hp/299tq. I think a 2.5" catback will put me over. 300/300 is not hard to get N/A in a 99/01. Some 99/01s are stronger than others though. I'll be there very shortly.

    What Midpipe to get, I Need Help!

    I vote for the Prochamber. Very clean, deep muscular sound. I have flowmasters welded in to my stock catback but will be adding a Mac Catback soon and it should sound wicked.

    MAc Flowpaths on stock h pipe sound??

    If emmissions is not a factor, I'd suggest you get a midpipe. In my opinion, you'll need a midpipe for any of the above mufflers to sound good and loud.

    Looking to buy 99 Cobra, a Few Questions

    Look it over really good. Personally, I wouldn't buy it if I couldn't drive it (most auctions that i know of won't give a test drive) but that's up to you. The price is not low....it's just right...for the mileage and assuming it is in EXCELLENT condition. COBRA90GT has given you some very...

    Question about reverse...

    It's a very common problem. Most have luck with putting it in another gear just before putting it in reverse. Getting it in reverse from neutral is a chore. Good luck.

    SVT Certificate

    It can be replaced. Simply call up Ford (1-800-FORD_SVT) I believe. Tell them you just purchased a '99 Cobra. They'll ask you for the VIN number and you'll have a nice certificate in the mail shortly thereafter. That's what I had to do with my '99. Good luck! Ray

    sceptical about 4.10

    4.10s at least. 99% of Mustang owners will tell you that, as you can see. I wish I had 4.30s already.
