    07+ Shelby/Cobra convertible?? Wife's idea!

    I heard that no convertible is planned for the new SVT GT500. Too bad. :flag: :nice:

    Cobra Driven Randomly by SVT Management?

    I ordered mine from the factory and picked it up on Oct. 1, 2002. In the glove box was the sticker and the laminated card from Coletti and Scarpello saying that it was checked out on the Ford test track and that it passed muster, so to speak. To me, it is a nice thing to have. It enhances...

    Stock pulley Cobra goes 11.36@121!!!

    Nice runs! I would hope that the new Cobra gets a better IRS set-up so it can be launched like that. To the videographer, get a tripod! Good stuff! :flag: :nice:

    BFGoodrich T/A/ KDW ????

    Check out what Bridgestone offers. The S03 Pole Positions are awsome tires. :flag: :nice:

    Terminator Oil

    Just use the synthetic and be done with it. I have used Mobil 1 since I bought my '99 and continue to use it to this day. Twice I used other synthetics in my '03 because of availability. I like sticking with what works, though, and I use the Mobil 1. Use what you want, but I stick to the...

    Who regrets buying a corba 03/04

    This is a fine car, to be sure. I have no problems with noise in any gear. My problem is with the stall. I have had the computer reflashed and the intake air control (I believe that is what it is called.) replaced and it still happens. Other than that, it runs like a dream. It goes on...

    Did your Cobra have a cargo net in the trunk?

    In response to squire's question about floor mats, they didn't come with Cobra logos, at least not on my '99 or '03 'verts. In fact, you don't even get rear mats. The front mats are of very good quality, though. I can't see why Ford trys to cut costs by eliminating things like rear floor...

    Tire Choices for '03 Cobra?/!

    GrayCobra, I bought the predecessor to the S03, which was the RE010, for my '99. They were in the process of bringing out the S03 and had phased out the RE010. If I heard the man at the Bridgestone booth at the Nashville event correctly, the S03 was the replacement for the RE010. I like the...

    Tire Choices for '03 Cobra?/!

    Check out the Firestone SZ50. All of the reviews at TireRack are excellent, even better than the new F1. If bucks aren't really an issue, look into the Bridgestone S03 Pole Position. At this time, I have Cooper Zeon 2XS on my '03. They are very good tires and priced under $150.00, the...

    Mobil 1

    Run the Mobil 1. You will have no problems. My '99 has never seen anything but Mobil 1. My '03 started out on Royal Purple, went to Penzoil synth, but I have switched to Mobil 1. Royal Purple isn't available in Toledo that I can find and Mobil 1 is at every parts store. The RP was good...

    first impression of new Pro 5.0

    It is a getting used to it issue. The Pro5.0 is very positive compared to the stock noodle. When you finally get acclimated to it, you will be able to shift easy or pound the gears with ease. U.M. correct in stating that you should make sure that the stops aren't turned in too far. Even...

    FUEL SHUTTING OFF, OTHER 03-04 problems.

    One thing about the TC. If you jump on it from a standing start, it will be overridden. If you are rolling and get on it, it will kick in at the slightest provocation. Hell, you really don't even have to get on it. I had mine kick in when I had to make an emergency maneuver and almost got...

    Double Clutching?

    Why in God's name would you want to double-clutch these days? In the days of non-sychronized transmissions, you double-clutched to syc your engine speed with the gear so you wouldn't grind the gears. I believe that there are still some trucks that don't have synchronized transmissions...

    03 and up Cobra owners

    You didn't state where you lived. Living in certain states and in or near big cities will have an effect on your cost. So will your age. Statistics drive insurance costs. See what you pay for living anywhere in New Jersey. Oy! I don't remember what I pay. It isn't all that much. I...

    03 used or new 04? Need some help here.....

    I had mine re-flashed last year for the stall. It helped for a while. This year, they replaced the Idle Air Controller, or IAC. This was done last month, so we will see as the summer goes on how it worked. I would go for the '04. You never know what you will get with a used '03. You...

    To 'vert or not to 'vert...

    Congrats on your wise purchase. Once you have a 'vert, you will never go back. My '99 Cobra was my first 'vert and my '03 Cobra is my second. I don't know why I waited so long. We may not be as quick as the coupes, but we sure look better doing it, so to speak. With the top down, a...

    03 cobra rev limiter

    I was talking to Paul Svinicki at the Mustang event in Nashville and asked him about raising my rev limiter. He said that there is no point as the power just falls like a cliff at the upper range with the stock Eaton blower. In other words, you have no power up that high so it is useless to do...

    2003 Cobra Dash noise?

    I have had mine up to 135mph a half dozen times and it is as solid as the Rock of Gibraltar. As a matter of fact, the first time I had no clue that I was going so fast. It is very smooth. I should think that you should check your tires and have them balanced properly. It could also be...

    03/04 Convertible Top Cleaning?

    I really don't mess with the top on mine. Take it to the car wash, either rinse it with straight water or soap it up and rinse. These new soft cloth tops don't require too much work. If you put it down after you wash it, make sure that you put it up when you park it for the night so it...

    What have you beaten with your stock cobra?

    I beat up on a couple of Camaros and a few GTs plus assorted rice bombs. The most interesting was a roll off against a new Nissan Titan. He kept toying with me and finally he jumped on it. I left it in fourth and opened up a couple of cars on him before I shut it down. I will say that it...
