    Help with a sick '95 Cobra

    yeah, no burning of the clutch. My main guy who built the 10 second El Camino has drivin it around and he said the clutch was ok. I blew a clutch in a Volvo (as bad as that sounds) so Im pretty sure i know what that one feels/smells like. Where can i get the computer checked out?

    Help with a sick '95 Cobra

    Torque peaks at 2250*** sorry if anyone got confused at that. HP/torque meet at 5200 RPMs at about 145. Torque maxes at about 2250 and stays above 170 till around 38-4000 RPMs then falls to meet that HP.

    Help with a sick '95 Cobra

    The RPMs peak at...2250 RPM I think but stay strong until around 4000 when they finally start to fall off. The exhust is....completely new. Nothing should even be on the inside of the pipes. Only gone about 100 miles on it. It was dynoed on a Mustang Dyno....and the next closest one is about 80...

    Help with a sick '95 Cobra

    doesnt stutter or buck. The guys at the dyno said it was the smoothest testing car that they had seen in a long time. No hills, no dips, no jerks, or anything like that on the dyno graph. HP went up smooth, toruqe started high and slopped gently down to meet the HP at 5200 RPMs. Im making a list...

    Help with a sick '95 Cobra

    Sorry, I should have mentioned all that. The car runs great. starts like a champ, has new plugs and wires. Doesnt burn oil. The timing is as i bought it but she seems to be fine.

    how much is too much for a cobra????

    I payed 7000 for a '95 with 128k miles on it. Did I ever look back? Not once I crushed my first ricer in second gear. Around here (Kentucky) there arnt that many cobras for sale of any year. Most of the ones i see are later models like '98s and '99s. They sell for around 14,000 so.....i dunno...
