    99 Cobra VS 2001 Cobra

    Perhaps I missunderstood what I read in some post, but I got the impression some of the 03 guys were replacing some part inside the tranny with a Viper spec part because some were having issues with said part. I just don't remember what part it was. Heh, didn't pay too close attention, I have...

    2001 Cobra Common Problems?

    Tranny has been mentioned. Like the 99 and the 03, the 01 has the Vibe. The IRS needs a lot of work to feel good. Wheel hop is an issue (if you actually drive the car. Not an insult, you know what I mean). Anyone else chime in if I missed something.

    Cobra vs WRX again

    why would Cobra owners know the beginning of your VIN? Mine's 1FAF, did you know that? Come on, I know a lot of import guys and almost none are this pathetic.

    99 Cobra VS 2001 Cobra

    ok, well, let me repeat, the 3650 sucks. I had three. One just randomly died in traffic... After being in my for less than a month in late December. I never got to race with that one since it was off season. It's a poorly designed transmission. Go to the 4.6 Tech forum and look at their...

    99 Cobra VS 2001 Cobra

    Sorry, but the T45 is better than the 3650. A lot of 01 Cobra guys have been getting rid of their 3650s and getting T45s from D&D. I went through 3 3650s before my warranty was finally up, then I got a TKO. The 3650 is garbage and you can't even rebuild the pieces of crap unless you want to...

    99 Cobra VS 2001 Cobra

    Only two big differences, really. The 01 has 31 spline axles (as opposed to 28) and the TR3650 tranny (versus the T-45). The 31 splines are better, obviously, but the T-45 will last longer than a 3650 racing. And, for the record, there are obvious differences in the feel of a shift between...

    live axle.. IRS???

    When it comes to Ford's IRS... I vote for solid axle. And my car handles great. Also, the setup for a solid axle in a Mustang is far different than in a truck. I mean, come on, that's like saying, "IRS, look at the current Explorer!" And you just can't compare out IRS with the Vette IRS. I...

    Cobra vs WRX again

    EJwhatever, by any chance do you live in Jax, FL? Also, I have never lost to a Subaru and I used to street race quite heavily. Stop, roll, whatever. And I still had the crappy IRS. This seems like a stupid argument to me especially in a Mustang forum... And about LS1.com... "Accepting"...

    Well, you can fit 285s all the way around, but you'll rub up front...

    My buddy paid a near-Cobra price for a Mach 1

    This is a really old thread, let it die.

    04 Mach vs 01 Cobra Conv.

    Sorry, but like I said, mod for mod the Mach will always beat the 99, 01 Cobra, all else being equal. And you will experience wheel hop if you ever get on it enough. Besides, the ride with the solid rear is not bad at all. I actually have a lot more fun on the road with the solid rear than...

    Does this piss you off too?????

    Eh, at least they gave us a 400 hp car with a warranty. ;-) Seriously, though, it would be nice. And the swap is really easy to do so long as you aren't installing the IRS on another car...

    I got a Lawyer for us on the Tremec 3650

    I dunno if this has been mentioned yet, but the shift forks were an issue a while back. I think it's been like a year and a half now. Anyway, when the issue started becoming really big with the 01 Cobra guys, Ford issued a TSB that called for either tranny replacement (for ones with improved...
