    Thinking of getting a Cobra...what to look for

    My jeep goes in reverse just fine. My mini goes in reverse just fine. My cobra hates reverse. Every cobra I have driven with a T-45 hates 1-2 and reverse. Then again t-56s get beat up on with hard 1-2 shifts, especially in camaros, all I'm saying is that it's something to look out for.

    Stock Corvette or a modded 03/04 Cobra

    Z06 of any year, it's not just the engine, it's the whole package. 600-700lbs is a lot of extra weight to be packing.

    Stats/numbers question

    Impalas run high 14s, they wouldn't have a chance. Think cop car with black (or dark red or dark bluish green) paint and wheels. and badges.

    Thinking of getting a Cobra...what to look for

    Look out for a grinding 1-2 shift and trouble going in reverse, T-45s suck.

    You know the 03s are 200lbs heavier than our cars...iron block, six speed and supercharger...just something to think about.

    98 Cobra Vs. Stock Trans-Am?? who would win??

    I have raced a 99 Z28 auto convertible on the freeway in my cobra. I had my top down, he had his top up, 3 people in his car, 2 people in mine. I pulled a length by 120. I also raced a LT1 camaro, not sure of year, no badges but it was an LT1 with exhaust. I pulled 3-4 lengths from 70 to 110...

    Military Guys In Here

    I am a Navy Corpsman with the 1st Marine Division. I was in college and dropped out to enlist. Here's my take on the military, I have trained with every branch and spent the bulk of my service with the infantry Marines. The blue side Navy I can't stand. I am green side Navy - a sailor wearing...

    Looking at a 97 cobra

    I have a 97 vert. I don't know of any problem areas, other than the rear tires... Apparently people tried to steal the badges on my car so the paint is messed up around it. Also work the transmission through its paces b/c the T45 is not the strongest trans in the world. Its a great car...

    Went from 3rd to 2nd on the highway.....

    ...you've never missed a shift? Granted I don't think I've ever gone into 2nd instead of 4th but...we've all missed shifts.

    4.10's bolt ons vs. T/A

    Saturday night my girlfriend and I were out cruising the main drag when a white LS1 Z28 vert starts messing with us. The guys ask me if my car is supercharged, to which I say "no"...then they say "follow us". My top was down and his top was up. We go out to the frontage road, and I figure...

    What's a 68 worth

    Mine was 4000 all stock NO RUST anywhere, running and driving perfectly. But I seem to have gotten a good deal, as 4000 seems like an I6 price around Tucson...

    99 Cobra

    I have a 97 cobra and last night I pulled 1/2 a car on a 99 Z28. My top was down and his top was up. Learn how your car drives first then worry about mods. And if you really want to beat trans ams and z28s then go for a 96-98 (live axle) car. They are cheaper too :)

    Potential svt buyer...

    I have a 97 vert that just hit 100k miles a few days ago. It's a great car. HP at the wheels should be 260ish. Last night I ran a 99 Z28 vert from a 70 roll (the bottom of 3rd for me) and pulled ahead by about half a car until 120, then he started to pull. But my top was down and his top was up...

    Improving brakes

    I asked the Baer guy if I'd need a new one and he said no... :shrug: So I'm assuming that the kit does not come with one.

    is this tech? pics of my car with 17" black bullits

    The hood is from Mustangs Plus, it's the "ram-jet" style. Since it was a new design when I bought it, the fiberglass was molded really well (no old fiberglass mold that's changed over the years) and it bolted right on and aligns as good/better than I could hope. The dash is completely...

    is this tech? pics of my car with 17" black bullits

    didn't feel the need for such monsters...and I don't want rubbing problems. at all. used to have 235s front, 255s rear and they rubbed. plus I went 215s on the front for more front/rear contrast, rather than 225s. also, they were cheaper :D E-3's dont make THAT much money, ya know!
