    Missing/Stutter at about 2k RPM's

    I bought my 2001 Cobra about three weeks ago and the car drove like a dream for the first couple of weeks. Yesterday I noticed that the car was sort of jerking or maybe missing when held at a constant speed around 1900/2000RPM's. It's hard to describe, the car will respond well and run great if...

    oil change

    Hmmm. Mobil 1 came out when I was in high school and that was over 30 years ago. Plus, it's used by quite a few racing teams and they certainly run high compression engines. Not to start a flame war, but where did you get your data from? I've used Mobil 1 in all of my cars for many years and...

    Proud New Owner of a 2001 Cobra

    Nastygram is a variant on telegram, strip-o-gram, candygram, etc. Basically, I got a bunch of messages from my neighbors complaining to varying degrees about the example I was setting by leaving 30 feet of rubber while leaving the bus stop. As well as the potential danger I was exposing them...

    Proud New Owner of a 2001 Cobra

    glitch1985, I'm sorry I stole your car, but I guess it's just a case of first come first served. I've had the car for 4 days but today was the first time I was able to take the beast out for a real drive and I have to say it was a blast. I drove my son out to the bus stop in the car this...

    Proud New Owner of a 2001 Cobra

    I paid 16K, which feels like a steal. I bought it from a guy about a block away from me had to sell and his loss was my gain.

    As of today I'm the proud new owner of vehicle # 2903 of 3867. It's a 2001 graphite coupe with 22K miles. It's bone stock mechanically, thought it does have 18' Momo wheels with Eagle F1 tires. I can't wait to get some tags and take it out for a nice long drive in the countryside. :D I'll...

    Question for guys who let their cars set for long periods.

    I regularly let my stang sit for a month or so. In the winter it can go for 2 or 3 months between drive, depending on the weather. I always check the tire pressure before going out and expect them to flat spot for a bit and run rough for the first 2 or 3 miles until they warm up. Other than...

    The part number for my '91 clockspring was F2ZZ-14A664-B. I'm pretty sure it's going to be the same part # for your '93 as well.

    Tips on redoing the door panels...

    The original backing is pretty much just pressed cardboard from what I can tell. Masonite is a hard thin material sort of like cardboard but much more dense. I think it has more glue/binder/epoxy or whatever it is that they use to hold the fibers together. It's about 1/8 to 3/16's of an inch...

    Are you getting the replacements from another car? Just wondering if you'd found somewhere to get new OEM or reproduction ones.
