    '03-04 Cobra owners ... like your seats ??

    I think that they are excellent seats. I drive back and forth to South Jersey four or five times a year and they are very comfortable. On my trip to Nashville for the 'Stang anniversary and then to Jacksonville and back, they were perfect. I'm 6'2" and weigh a buck seventy-five. The...

    Pro 5.0 or Steeda Tri-ax

    Hey, 96MustangCobra, I have a Pro 5.0 from my '99 Cobra in my garage. I'll let you have it for $100 plus shipping. It is in like new condition. Hopefully I won't catch any flak for posting this here, but it is just a reply. :flag: :nice:

    "Dino Oil?" (what is it?)

    I believe that "Dino oil" refers to good old fashioned dead dinosaurs, as opposed to synthetic. :flag: :nice:

    Cobra vs. GT....who wins?

    You have the gears and the horsepower, but he has the torque advantage down low. He could very well get you in the eighth, but no way in the quarter. Are your short gears really any kind of advantage in such a short race? I would think that by mid-track in the quarter you would about...

    Is your Cobra your daily driver? Could it be?

    Mine is a semi-daily driver. I don't take it to work, but I drive it most of the time between April and the end of October, bad weather excluded. I have a beater Exploder that I use for work and during the winter. These cars are great daily drivers. My '03 just turned 20,000k right after I...

    03/04 cobra folding mirrors

    The ones that are on the Cobra are color coded to your car. Mine are gloss black. The older non-folding mirrors are in the matte finish. :flag: :nice:

    synthetic motor oil?

    My dealer changes my oil every 5,000 miles for free. I believe that it came as part of some package with the car. I don't think that it cost anything. If I remember correctly, it is part of the premium service package that came with the new Cobras. Check with your service rep at the...

    99-03 swap

    What are you planning to swap? Motors? Drive shafts? Transmissions? Cars? Your platform is the same. I don't see any problem in changing over anything. You just have to use the other parts that work with the part you are switching, like changing drive shafts, etc, when you switch...

    synthetic motor oil?

    I think that with the Amsoil you have to follow their instructions to the letter, as far as leaving the oil in for any length of time. I am sure that you have to change filters at certain intervals. I do know that they sell a special filtering system that uses a high pressure filter that...

    03 Cobra Blower sounds

    We might not have that constant whistle that the centrifugals have, but when we wind our motors up the sound is bitchin'. Hey, Meat, I thought that you were going to install long tubes? I am going in to check for the tick this week and I will make my header decision at that time, although...

    03 Cobra Speedster cover

    As far as I know, Cervini's has a two piece speedster cover that is designed to fit in your trunk. They have it mounted on their in house Cobra that the owner drives, along with all their other bolt-on baubles. As far as fit, I don't see why the covers don't fit your car. There is no...

    take out the supercharger and replace with turbo (more)

    I really don't know how it could be done. I was hoping to see it in MM&FF. Holdener is quite the authority on the subject and it would be interesting to hear his opinion. My intent with my post was just to point out that the boost wouldn't be equal to the power adders combined, but to which...

    take out the supercharger and replace with turbo (more)

    I think that Richard Holdener, in MM&FF, has discussed using both systems on a car before. It certainly can be done. As for wrecking your bottom end, how? To me, 10# is 10#. As the RPM increases and the turbo spools up, it would gradually overtake the blower, providing the higher boost...

    Gas Mileage anybody?

    My '99, bone stock except for a drop-in K&N and removed air silencer, got close the 30 running the a/c and the top down. The worst it ever got was 27 and change. Lock it in cruise around 68-9 mph and roll. I am very conservative when I drive to New Jersey from Toledo. As I stated before...

    Narrowed it to 2 cobras, which one you think is better? and some mod suggestions?

    Twelve hundred bucks more and less than half the mileage? Not a hard choice, really. One just sold here in Toledo a short time back, a white '96 vert with ultra low miles, original rubber. The only modification that it had were lowering springs because the girl that owned it liked the way...

    Whats the differance bewteen 99,01 Cobras and 03,04 Cobras??

    Eaton blower, forged internals, T56 tranny, heavier clutch, beefed up rear end, but I am not sure how much stronger it is than the '01, bigger tires and rims, better seats, although the '01 seats are nice. Revised hood, front facia and rear bumper and spoiler plus a flush rocker panel. If...

    Just curious.

    I bought it not because it is a little better than my '99, but exponentially better. The seats, the motor (Although I wish the block was aluminum.), the drivetrain, etc. That said, the '99 is much better on the twisties, especially when there not too long of straight sections of road. It...

    Gas Mileage anybody?

    If I get much over 11mpg in the city with my '03, I would be quite surprised. It is about 24-25mpg on the highway. About 12 with the '99 and between 29 and 30 on the e-way. :flag: :nice:

    Which tires to buy

    Bridgestone/Firestone makes some really good tires. I put Potenza RE010s on my '99 and they were great. Way better than the original BFGs. Excellent in the wet and dry. I was going to put Firestone SZ50s on my '03, but they have stopped making them. Their replacement, the Fusion, won't...

    I'm one of you now.

    How are your tires? Have they been balanced lately? Are they worn, especially the rears? I ask these questions because of the tires on my '03 Cobra. I cranked it up over the century mark and got a terrible vibration, which never happened before. It turned out that the rear tires were...
