    Dropping "Cobra" could be a good thing

    Here's what I think is gonna happen: 1. Ford will build the new Shelby Cobra. I'm basing that on what I've read about the degree to which the concept was finished out, the sharing of many parts with the Ford GT. I don't think this was meant to be a one-off concept car. 2. The SVT...

    Best way to get rid of a sunroof?

    Sell the car. I can't imagine that trying to graft something in there would render anything that looked good at all. And expensive to boot. Sell it.

    Horsepower in 05 and impact on sales

    I will tell you again. I don't like ricer imports. We know that, and you are certainly entitled to your opinion. I wouldn't buy them, but I can respect the fact that they run like snot. I don't care about backing up my claim. Opinions don't really need to be backed up since they are...

    I haven't seen good enough pictures to really draw a conclusion on the interior. I've found that you really need to see it in person to conclude anything. The exterior is a different story, though, and I love it. The in-grill fog lamps give it a great look, IMO.

    Who is offering a HiPo V8 with a six speed in the price range of a GT?

    Whats with people thinking the 96-98 Cobras come Factory Supercharged??

    This Cobra could very well be supercharged. There is a large aftermarket for superchargers. It doesn't say factory SC. I do find it interesting that they didn't include a picture of the engine bay.

    Well it's a lot closer in price to a GTO than a GTO is to the GT. You are indeed comparing apples and oranges here. You want to compare a car that costs 5-6K more than the GT, but than whine when someone wants to compare the Cobra to the GTO; a price difference that is much less than the one...

    03/04 Cobra owners

    I will probably break down and get it as well before the 36K mark. I've not spent the money on any other cars up to this point, but if something goes wrong on this baby it gonna be REAL expensive.

    03/04 Cobra owners

    I got mine in September 2002, and hit 30K this past weekend. I've had no problems at all. I do have the tick, but I've been holding off on the repair until they get it right. I'll have to do something in the next couple of months, though so I don't blow past the warranty. I've never had a...

    Advised by a fellow SVT Stanger to AVOID 4.10 gears! Soo confused now, help.

    The guy is trying to understand how gearing changes will affect rpm/mph etc. If he understands that the changes in both mph and rpm in any gear are directly proportional to the ratio between the two rear gear sets in question then he's going to have a better understanding of the way his car...

    Advised by a fellow SVT Stanger to AVOID 4.10 gears! Soo confused now, help.

    You can easily calculate what your RPM will be in any gear at any speed by using the ratio of the new gear to your current gearing. For example, I'm with the stock 2003 3.55 gears in my Cobra, and cruise at 70MPH in 6th is ~2000RPM. 3.73/3.55=1.051. 1.051*2000=~2102 RPM (70 mph, 6th gear...

    Tired of Magazine articles?

    Ford isn't aiming the GT at the Viper, but at the Ferrari 360 Modena. They're even giving testers both cars to compare at one time.

    Is it Really a 351C?

    I had to leave before seeing the posts about the valve cover bolt patterns, and didn't count them. The upper hose does come out of the manifold, though, for sure. The guy insists that it's the original engine and that it's a Cleveland. The VIN is M code engine, though, which is the 351W...

    Is it Really a 351C?

    I'm going to look at a 69 fastback this evening that the owner claims has a 351C in it. Not sure if it's a 2bbl or 4bbl. It is an automatic. My understanding is that the 351C wasn't introduced until 1970, so if it's really a C then it was swapped in at some point. Question: How can I...

    Leaked email from Ford Employee

    Shouldn't be hard for them to do at all. Any significant increase in torque will require additional airflow through the intake. All it would take would be for the computer to cut out say everyother cylinder if the MAF detects airflow above a given level set by the factory. There would...

    04 Cobra or 04 GTO?

    They typically pull ~370RWHP on a chassis dyno. With a conservative 15% drivetrain loss that's 425HP at the fly. Add a catback, highflow filter and pull the absurdly small snorkle it's breathing through and you'll be on the north side of 450.
