    i dunno why but I've had a much easier time launching the cobra. I guess i'm just used to IRS cars.

    my insurance actually went down about $100 a year. Go figure. I'm paying $2280 per year with full coverage and $500 deductible. I'm 24 and the cobra is the only car and i'm the only driver insured on it. My record is clean...so far :D

    :rlaugh: heh, well i'm about to enter the ring stage too...but you're only gonna be young once. Sorry, but I don't see myself beating up on a cobra when I'm 55. That's when I'll be buying a corvette :nice: :rlaugh:

    Update: 03 Cobra 6th Gear Vibration

    you might want to run a search on this on svtperformance, but I vaguely remember reading that the '04's don't have this problem (at least mine doesn't). I also heard that the '04 has a different driveshaft...so that may be the source of the problem.

    http://www.xmsengineering.com/ call them and ask for their best pricing (you might wanna tell them you're on svtperformance.com). I recall them selling it for like $550.

    Best wax for black paint?

    Ford does a crappy job of painting our cars. Protecting it properly is absolutely necessary. I don't know about you, but I don't feel like getting a paint job in 4 years.

    Best wax for black paint?

    nope...zaino isn't really a polish. It's more of a sealant. You don't need to apply wax over zaino...zaino should be the last thing that you do. You should prep the surface by claying the car (if necessary) and then dealing with any swirls, scratches, water spots, etc. with a good paint...

    Best wax for black paint?

    whatever product you pick, be sure to prep the surface properly (especially on black and red cars). People all too often clay their cars then go straight to zaino. I'd say it's not enough. Black gets swirled very, very easily and zaino does close to nothing to fix that. You need a good...

    Best wax for black paint?

    Scott @ Specialty Motoring suggested Clearkote for black cars. He said it would look better than Zaino (on black cars), but wouldn't be quite as durable (4-5 months for Clearkote vs. 6 months for Zaino). He also said Clearkote was a bit easier to buff out. We'll see how it turns out on my...

    Best wax for black paint?

    I used Zaino Z2 w/ ZFX on my silver '03 GT and was impressed. I wasn't impressed with it on my black cobra though. It didn't give me the wet look or the shine that I desired. Pics are in my sig (the bottom row of pictures)...that's with 2 coats of Zaino. The surface was prepped with clay...
