    Running 12's with a GT or Cobra?

    I picked up my 97 Cobra for $7500. Total steal considering the engine has 36K miles on the engine(78K on body) and it runs 12s. The guy before me got a 12.3 with slicks on it. I'd say to find one for that price you need someone who is in desperate need of cash.I got extremely lucky. Also depends...

    First Time at the Track! Need Tips.

My best 60 ft was a 2.26 and my best 1/4 was a [email protected] . Is this normal? I seemed to be getting tire spin a lot cause Im running BFGoodrich KDW with stock 3.27...

    cats, or no cats?

    I wasn't kidding about the 30 or so whp if thats what your laughing about streetstang03. Unless your laughing at the 3 cats thing. I think he was talking about the "wheel HP" instead of Rear Wheel HorsePower. That's what made me laugh at least.

    Cats or no cats? Need input please.

    No emissions=no cats. Why would you pay more for less hp? and if you dont want popping sound, dont get X. To me, X sounds like import ricer mustang. H is the way all the old school stangs came in the 60s and they had no cats back then. H sounds more muscular and X sounds raspy on high revs. This...

    Cooling Problem. Please Help!

    Ok cool. I dont wanna speak too soon like last night, but tonight I was driving around and the coolant light was on at first, then it went off and did that L on Normal thing, like the air pocket was going back and forth from the engine to the resevoir tank. But then finally the light went off...

    HELP!!!

    My Pacific Green Cobra has done this to me before and I think I know what caused it on mine. The only times it ever did it, I had sprayed throttle body cleaner into the throttle body a few hours before. I thought I revved it all out, but apparently I hadn't. It caused the engine to choke and...

    Cooling Problem. Please Help!

    I put in 2 and a quarter of the Gallon-sized Zerex antifreeze bottles that are already 50/50 mixed. I just really want to know if thats why it got hot again. Is it because I opened the cap and changed the pressure or let air in or something? Should I repeat the same process as yesterday? Cause...

    Cooling Problem. Please Help!

    OK so the antifreeze settled and it turns out it was low in the resevoir tank. So i opened the pressure cap this morning and it hissed like a 20 oz soda and the fluid started to rise a little. I poured more in, closed the cap and off to school I went. It started doing the same thing again. It...

    Cooling Problem. Please Help!

    It was an air pocket. Thank you guys very much. I was spending money on on a radiator, different temp thermostats, I even bought a 160 Degree fan switch which I now can return because my car runs fine now. It never went above O in Normal with the new radiator and 160 stat. The only thing is that...

    Cooling Problem. Please Help!

    OK, This seems to have worked. I took my pressure cap off my resevoir tank and ran it till it got into the normal range, with the front of the car jacked up. I put the cap on and drove it around for about 10-15 minutes and it seemed to stay within an acceptable range. The only thing is the low...

    Cooling Problem. Please Help!

    Not trying to sound like a technical smart ass, but there isnt a radiator cap. There is a pressure cap on top of the resevoir tank on the 4.6s Is that what you meant? I just wanna clarify.

    Cooling Problem. Please Help!

    I have a 97 Cobra and I keep having this cooling problem despite a new radiator and thermostat. The car will drive fine, then start to warm up, but when it does it goes all the way to the L in normal. It will stay there for about 5 minutes then drop back down to the R/M in normal. Something is...

    97 Cobra cooling Problems!!!!HELP

    My newest Rio Red 97 Cobra has had some cooling problems since I bought it. I went to go install a 160* stat and when I installed it, I noticed the previous owner wasnt running a thermostat. I put it in and it was great for a while then it started running real hot after a week. The temp guage...
