    07 Cobra information, specs/prices/due date

    I have a good friend that has a 5.4L DOHC in his 97 Cobra. He spins it to 7500+. Stock stroke and bore (.020 over). Car runs 10.2's @ 132+ mph weighing 3350 lbs. They'll rev.

    Bigger bore

    As RandyB said, the Modular Motor simply wasn't designed in a way to allow much bigger bores. Hopefully the "Hurricane" borrows some of GM's LSx technology.

    Car and Driver Review- 05 Stang vs. 05 GTO

    The word is not stereotyping - it is assumption and/or presumption. :) I would not subject two adults to the back seat of the Mustang either - there is likely not contest there (though I have no idea how comfortable - or not - the GTO rear seating is). However, my comment/question was to...

    Car and Driver Review- 05 Stang vs. 05 GTO

    GTO's didn't sell because of style and price gouging. The price gouging has been discussed. Styling has been beat to death too - here's my take: I think the problem that some folks have with the GTO is that by and large, it looks like any other Pontiac mid-size sedan from the past few...

    Car and Driver Review- 05 Stang vs. 05 GTO

    Good! Cause I guarantee that I thought otherwise - and there are plenty of...uh....people that have posted such statements with complete sincerety. :)

    What is the best transmission for the 05?

    With all due respect, if your son picked up 1.5 seconds in ET (like, went from 15.5 to 14.0) by going to an auto, that means he was simply horid with the stick. Again - no disrespect intended.

    ROFLOL. :rlaugh: I'm sorry...that just struck me as being funny as hell. Carry on. :)

    Car and Driver Review- 05 Stang vs. 05 GTO

    Much of any comparison between two cars is going to be subjective. In fact, virtually everything except raw, measureable numbers are subjective - and even those raw numbers are subject to subjective interpretation. While it is possible that C&D's staff decided that they'd let the Mustang...

    Car and Driver Review- 05 Stang vs. 05 GTO

    15 stinks - that would suck. 27 is decent. I'm a Mustang guy, and am registered on a variety of sites, including F-body, Vette, and even a GTO Forum. I spend the majority of my time on Mustang sites (for obvious reasons), but as an enthusiasts first, and a Mustang nut second, I still like...

    Car and Driver Review- 05 Stang vs. 05 GTO

    Correct, and I pointed that out in my first post. :) I don't know if the 05 EPA numbers have been released. Perhaps their in the C&D test? If somebody has it, please respond. And I agree with the rest of your comments. :) 351CJ....it is a simple fact of the internet Forums that in a...

    Car and Driver Review- 05 Stang vs. 05 GTO

    I'd like to say one more thing again...just for the record: :)

    Car and Driver Review- 05 Stang vs. 05 GTO

    I'm sorry, but that is quite incorrect. Only the automatic gets the gas guzzler tax. But don't take my word for it, go to Pontiac's GTO page and build one with the manual and with the auto and see what happens. "Contraire" or not. Around town mileage is a wash, and probably a bit better...

    Car and Driver Review- 05 Stang vs. 05 GTO

    If I were in the market for another new car, and my choices were the 05 Mustang or the 05 GTO, I'd likely pick the Mustang based on my own preferences and biases. However, I would like to comment on one point you made: The gas guzzling moniker is inaccurate, especially as it pertains to the...

    What's the best oil filter to use on an 03?

    Hmmmm. Well, I guess I've just been lucky tempting fate. Somehow I've managed to go through several hundred thousand miles without ever having a "pebble" denting my oil filter and causing damage. Guess I'm just tempting fate. Can you show me an unbiased, third party test that proves...

    What's the best oil filter to use on an 03?

    First I've ever heard of such a thing, but this is not possible with another brand of filter? Is that why you get these filters, cause you had a buddy who supposedly had a "lesser" filter split on him/her? Sorry, but I'm not buying it. No offense. Prove that its worth the money, and...

    What's the best oil filter to use on an 03?

    If you please, why does having a stronger outside case make those two filters better or worth the extra money? I've trusted Motorcraft (and similar) filters for years. I've had engines apart with 100k+ miles on them after using such - can't remember any issues. Seems to me that the most...

    What's the best oil filter to use on an 03?

    I use the same Motorcraft filter that came on the car.

    Camaro SS

    LSWhat? ;) Seriously....an LS1 is a potent motor, and in the right hands, a stock LS1 should beat a stock 96-01 Cobra (a Mach 1 is a good race, in the 1/4 mile). You would have had your hands full, and then some. Then again, on the street, anything can happen, and drivers make a HUGE...

    ever seen a stock 03-04 cobra run low 12s? i know its been done

    Quickest I know of is a guy named Kenneth Risher. He went 12.47. Never heard of anybody going low 12s, and I'd have a hard time believing it.
