    Which Gear 4 An 03 Cobra...?

    I am with UM on this one. Unless you are racing it at the track and want to cross the traps at a certain RPM in a certain gear, stay with the 3:55's. Yes, older 4v Cobras LOVE gears, but the Terminators are a bit different, not so "rev-happy" and produce enough low-end grunt (older 4vs...

    2003 cobra or 2005 GT=which should i buy?

    03/04 Cobra a glorified GT!?!? Then go on to say youd rather have a Saleen over the Cobra!?!? Are you sure you are a Mustang enthusiast? A Saleen in the epitome of a "glorified GT". Tell me in WHAT WAY a 03/04 Cobra is more of a glorified GT than a Saleen (S-281 or S-281 w/sc) is. The...

    2003 Torch Red 10th

    I got mine Sept 2003 for $31,100. X-plan plus $2000 Cash back ($1500 Cash back + $500 Cash back for using X-plan pin #) W/O the cash back that was being offered back then its hard to get them down on price. I would think UNDER $30,500 would be more like it though. Especially considering...

    Has anyone raced a Subaru WRX STi?

    I race two (STI's) at the track two weeks ago. Killed one off the light and he just kept seeing the ass end of my car from further and further away. The other one left right with me and jumped out to a quick car length, by the end of the 1/4 I had two+ cars on him. I really expected a...

    Please help..."04 Mach 1 Vs "05 GT

    351CJ- I think THAT choice is an obvious one. The 93 vs 94 comparo is closer to what we are looking at here (MACH1 vs 05GT). 93 Cobra/04MACHI HP advantage Collectability known commodity dated design Lower Cost (due to intitial high cost of the "new" model) 94 gt/05 gt slight power...

    Please help..."04 Mach 1 Vs "05 GT

    Go back in history (it always repeats). Think of yourself as a new mustang buyer in LATE 1993. The "NEW" mustang was coming out. You had to choose between the 1993 Cobra or the 1994 GT. Hindsight being 20/20, your choice would/should have been....................

    new cobra owner, have some ?'s

    If being a nut is shifting hard and fast (not power shifting), then that brace looks like some good insurance. Pics of these aluminum pumpkin housing/covers all busted apart on relatively stock terminators makes that brace look REAL good.

    new cobra owner, have some ?'s

    I wouldnt mod the car...yet. Mod the driver. Go to a off-track event or some other race related event and learn your car. BTW, these car do have a light flywheel, even with the abudance of low end torque it can take a bit to get used to the initial clutch engagement, the revs drop quick if...

    '03 cobra 6400k. mi, spun bearing

    missouri- I wasnt dissin what you said, hell I guess I would be lookng at doing the same if I were in his shoes. I just understand that this does happen. If I were Ford I would scrutinize every warant claim that came in on these cars just because of that sort of thing. In turn thats what...

    '03 cobra 6400k. mi, spun bearing

    "Not sure on what your mods are, but why wouldn't you put the car back to stock and drive it down to the dealer and have them fix it? That's what warranties are for right?" While this is a good idea, I now know why FORD denies warranty claims as much as possible. Back on topic, any reason...

    Installed JMS grills on 03 Cobra. Yea? Nay?

    I really dont think this particular grill is gonna block enough air to make a difference. There is still plenty of open space in there. I get as much positive feedback as negative on these. I think I am gonna keep them. These are definately something you either like or dont, not much middle...

    Installed JMS grills on 03 Cobra. Yea? Nay?

    Thanks Vic....I think. A simple NO F'N WAY that Ricer a$$ lame ***** should ever grace the front of an SVT product would have sufficed ;) BTW its far from chicken wire. As far as getting them back further. I would, but If I put it behind the bumper things the grill is very loose and...

    Installed JMS grills on 03 Cobra. Yea? Nay?

    I cant move the bottom one back any further, those verticle bumer reinforcing thingys (lack of better term) are in the way. The top one may be able to go back an inch or so.

    All 04 Mustang GT's also come with folding mirrors. So they should be available and somewhat plentiful.

    Installed JMS grills on 03 Cobra. Yea? Nay?

    The list for like $79 each. But if you can get someone to go in with you and purchase a couple they wil work with you. A guy at work wanted a set for his 95 and they gave us 20% off. For cobra owners they throw on the Cobra Emblem for free when you order both upper and lower. 20th- you can...

    If you keep waiting for the next best thing thats all you will ever be doing...waiting. Sell the v-6, put a decent amount down on a Termiantor and HAVE FUN. If you havent drivin one, you wont believe the difference between it and your current car.

    Installed JMS grills on 03 Cobra. Yea? Nay?

    I am thinking that gloss black wouldnt look right. Too shiny. I thought about painting them gloss black prior to installing them. Decided to wait untill after seeing them on the car first. I like them flat black. If I painted them gloss I would think it would make them look like they...
