    got my lightning!....few questions...

    And if you do change the pulley on the supercharger down the road to get more boost and you take it to Ford for warranty work, more than likely your warranty will be denied. Something to think about.

    98 cobra HP limits (before breaking)

    HELP...am i supposed to have ABS

    I remember off-hand when the SN-95's rolled out, that ABS was an option, most cars did come equipped with them though. I don't know if it was still an option in '98. Have him look for the ABS control box, it's usually located near the master cylinder and I think it has 'ABS' stamped on it.

    Black and green Cobra

    There was indeed such a car, it was just a decal special. I remember in the late 80's; Car Craft had this same color car as a giveaway and they put in a H.O. 5.0 carburetor engine and T-5 in it.

    1996 Cobra- I modded the car in this order.. Steeda Tri-Ax Shifter A must have for any gearbox- equipped Mustang. Cheap insurance against any possible damage that may occur due to the rubbery-like feel of the stock shifter. Feels 'boy-racer' when shifting gears too. Steeda Chrome-Moly...
