    Paint Matching For Tinted Clearcoats

    Hello, I recently purchased a 01 cobra convertible. I wanted to spice it up a little, so I was going to put a Roush body kit on it. My only concern is that the car is laser tinted red. As far as I understand, they paint the car with an orangish red color, then use a tinted clearcoat to...

    Stangnet Problem (for the Computer Gurus)

    Update, I figured out my problem. Hopefully my solution will help somebody out in the future when they search the forums. I've had Windows Firewall turned off since I installed XP SP2, but I was just looking around and noticed something. In the advanced settings of Windows Firewall, I noticed...

    01 cobra - deal or no

    I hate to also rain on the parade, but I just bought a red 01 Cobra Convertible w/ 42k miles for $15,500 from a dealer in the Chicago area. I drove 400 miles on a thrusday night to pick it up. You should've spent some time and found a good deal. It took me over 4 months to find this one...

    Stangnet Problem (for the Computer Gurus)

    Yep. I've accessed stangnet on multiple computers, but it just doesn't work on my main computer. I'm positive it's something on my end, but I've tried everything I can think of and nothing helps.

    2001 Cobra: Coupe vs. Vert?

    Thanks for the input guys. What about driving at decent speeds with the top down? Is it way too windy, or pretty bearable? Thanks again!

    2001 Cobra: Coupe vs. Vert?

    I'm in the market to buy an 01 cobra. I was originally going for a coupe, but after seeing a bunch of pics, I'm starting to consider a convertible. Being that I've never even rode in a vert before, I just have a few questions to help me with my decision. I was wondering if you guys could...

    Mustang Radio into Lincoln TownCar...

    After some help from a different message board, I found that the newer radios only put out 5-6 volts in the "amp enable" pin, but the older ones put out a full 12v to fire up the amp. I jumped the amp enable with another wire to give me 12v when the radio is on, and I can finally hear some...

    Mustang Radio into Lincoln TownCar...

    Hello, after I sold my 97 GT to get a cobra, I bought myself 1991 Lincoln Town Car for $900 (winter beater with style :rlaugh: ). It had some problems, but I have just about fixed it all up. The radio wasn't picking up any FM signals. We tested the radio with another antenna, but it still...

    Cobra Questions

    So for $3000 you are getting a strong transmission, nicer seats, and bumper that says cobra, and a car that is 2 years newer. Other than that, they are the same car? So it's probably a better deal for somebody on a tight budget to go for the 1999 since there is no big reason to justify the...

    1999 vs 2001 cobra

    Hello guys. I'm from the GT world and don't know much about the cobras. I have about $14500 max to spend on a cobra. I found myself a 2001 cobra, and the deal was pretty much finalized, but it fell through last second apparently. My problem now is that I can't find any other 2001 cobras...

    Cobra Questions

    Can anybody help me out? Other than the different transmission, seats, and bumper cover, are there any other major differences between the 1999 and 2001? Why is the 1999 0.4 seconds slower in the 1/4 mile? I'm just trying to see if its worth the extra $2500-3500 to get a 2001 since I'm on a...
