    First Dyno in 03' Cobra

    Sounds like you have a good one there. What was the weather like? Just wondering. I got right at 392 with just a cat-back. Does the boost bypas help with more HP at the top-end?

    2003 COBRA owner....

    You know Uncle Meat (I knew you would look at this post), every post I see about an 03 Cobra I see a post from you. Your avatar is still FREAKING me out man. Its kinda like those old velvet clown painting/pictures from the seventies. The makeup makes a smile but they are frowning..... :shock:

    BZ- Yeah Im keeping her real close to stock. I have only put a cat-back on so far and will probably add a CAI on it once I decide which one I like the most. I hate to say it but I am going for looks as well as function for that part. I like the K&N FIPK but it doesent look so hot. I figure...

    1993 Cobra Convertable

    He is probably pissed that he really thought he bought a 93 Cobra vert, then to find out there is no such animal.

    BIG TIME EMRGENCY...03 COBRA, HELP.

    This is EXACTLY why I am choosing to keep my car very close to stock for the 1st year or so. Ill drive it pretty hard (who am I kidding, BEAT it pretty hard) and if nothing breaks I will then be confident enough to start the mods. It seems as though these "hand-built" engines can vary...

    I know what you mean. Living here in CT where it seems to be the "nice weather exotic car capitol of the U.S.", I cant wait for the "nice" weather and catch a few exotics by surprise. BTW what floor mats did you get to replace your stock ones. Ford parts network has the 10th Anns for like...

    Test driving an 03 Cobra

    "Not only was this guy going to let me take a test drive, but he's going to drive an HOUR to get to my house to bring the car to me!" Sounds like a smart salesman. Think about it. I can see it now. Salesman: "hey boss, I got a guy REAL interested in a Cobra, I thought it would be a good...

    SVT vs Cobra? Any Difference? & Horsepower inquiry..

    Which is the CORRECT WAY of sayng it then? Ford Cobra or Ford COBRA SVT or Ford SVT COBRA? What does ford's literature say? I always just say "its a Cobra" and everyone understands. AND as far as the original question, my first thought also was, "man, this guy really doesent follow...

    SVT vs STI

    "He can't drive. 114 is good enough for high elevens..." You knw, blanket statements like this are SO misleading. Maybe with it being a turbo car he wasnt seeing very good 1/8 mil;e tmes but made up for it on the back end. Maybe he needed to build some speed, maybe 3rd gear pulls like a...

    Soon will be Getting a 1994 F-150 Lightning....Please let me know some info on it.

    Just remember there is NOTHING that that trucklikes more than .........FUEL! I speak from experience on that. I put 30,000 miles on my 93 before it was stolen. To get to that 30,000 miles took about 3000 gallons of fuel.

    03' cobra cold air

    Yeah the whipple looks to be a monster. I am personally waiting untill nexdt spring to add any major mods. When I first bought the car all that was out there was the Kenne Bell. Now there are: turbo, Procharger, Whipple, and Apten Ported, power adders to choose from. I figure within the next...

    04 Cobra dyno numbers are in!!

    Tuning a stock Cobra is probably not too much more than leaning it out a bit, especially at the top end. My cars A/F went from 15:1 to less than 10:1 at 6000rpm. I mean it went below where the scale even read. :shrug:

    60' times with a 275/40 verse 315/35 Nitto D/R?

    Sorry, should have put that in. I have been to the track once since getting the car late last year. And while there I got in only TWO runs in three hours, not much time to experiment. With that being said: 60'- 2.41 1/4- 13.2 @ 111.8 mph I know if I practice slipping the clutch a bit...

    03 Cobra Problems

    I would laugh, BUT the first time I tried to GET ON IT, I also forgot to turn the traction control off. I did however, realize what it was right away, it is a bad feeling though when it comes on when you dont want it.

    60' times with a 275/40 verse 315/35 Nitto D/R?

    So, will there be THAT much of a difference between the two. I am going to get one or the other this spring to help get my 60's down and cut down/out any spin while shifting. I would love to go with the 315's BUT I need to stick with the stock 9"rims (cause I cant get them in anything other...

    03 Cobra Problems

    What all does the traction control do in these cars? I always thought it was just run through the vehicles ABS system to the rear brakes. In these cars it definately feels like something is going on with the engine output also.
