    Did i really enjoy driving a S197 over the cobra?

    having had a 97 Cobra and now an 03 Cobra, I highly agree with what is said above.. (except handling on the 99/01 Cobra with their IRS they are quite good, but not sure how much they are better compared to the 05 GT) but comparing a 03/04 Cobra to the 05 GT, IMHO that's a "no brainer" if you...

    Raced an '01 vette! Question

    I don't know.. I had a stock 98 auto Vette that ran a best of [email protected] 2.15 60 ft.. so a stout 05 GT has a good chance of keeping up with one..

    How fast have you got your v6?

    depends on which Saleen it is.. the older S351R was rated around 500 hp with a 351 Windsor and a supercharger.. the 04 S281e was rated 445 hp with a rebuilt 4.6 and supercharger.. a guy the other day put his S281 Supercharged ragtop on a dyno and made about 340 hp to the ground (it was just...

    dyno numbers

    I know the temperature will make a difference, but keeping the vehicle 100% stock I went on a mustang dyno and hit 355, and on a dynojet I made 372.. temp difference was 32 degrees for the Mustang and low 60's for the dynojet.. Not sure of the elevation difference though, but the dynojet was I'm...

    96-98 cobra or 98 up ls1

    a stock short block LS1 might hold 900 hp for a few minutes, but with those powdered metal rods and hypercrap pistons, I guarantee they won't hold for long.. is the block strong, yes since it's a 6 bolt main(same as 96-01 Cobra) with deep skirt.. but it has a cast nodular iron crank (seems to...

    Kenne Bell VS Whipple

    well.. look at the torque curve between the centrifical supercharger and twin screw supercharger.. sure the centrifical will give you more power.. but it will for the most part, be at high rpm. The twin screw(Kenne Bell or Whipple) gives slightly less power, BUT the torque curve starts at what...

    Dealer Installed Sirius Radio

    a friend has an 03 Lancer EVO VIII, with aftermarket XM radio. (professionally installed) the satellite antenna was installed inside the dash, (works as good as one of the ugly external antennas) and you can't see it at all.

    guess I need to do a few mods on my 03 Cobra to ensure a well driven 05 GT 5 speed dosn't surprise me.. :flag: figure 450 to the ground should work.. (for now)

    This fools running....

    I had a 97 Cobra coupe, 98 Vette(auto/2.73 gears) 02 S2000 and now 03 SVT Cobra coupe.. the S2000 is the best handler, followed by the 98 Vette/03 Cobra (they are DAMN close) and the 97 Cobra.. acceleration is the 03 Cobra, 98 Vette then the 97 Cobra/S2000 are again damn close.. if the...

    Evening jaunt

    well.. your in a car that while has an extra 1000 lbs of weight over the S2000, it also has an extra 160 hp to the ground, of course your going to blow it into the weeds, just the same as you would a ragtop Stang GT or other cars of similar ilk..

    NO POWER!!!

    don't feel bad about being beat by the S2000, since it weighs 600 lbs less than your car and is only down 20 hp.. (and your body kit is only making that weight difference worse) 12.99 lb/hp for Stang GT ragtop 11.70 lb/hp for S2000 now the Del Sol, not sure about that one, since I don't...

    Horsepower vs. Torque?

    when I had my S2000, I wouldn't even have bothered to race a ragtop 96-98 GT.. they are just too slow, and your saying that your 10 extra hp and going from the stock 2.73's to 3.27's is going to take your high 15 sec car and make it a mid 13 sec car? It's just not going to happen.. hell...

    Buying a Cobra, NEED HELP

    if it was driven by a little old lady, 45 mph from her driveway to the church and grocery store 3 miles away,(the hardest driving you can do to a vehicle) then a 5000 mile oil change is IMHO not enough, but if it was warmed up with a 10 mile or more drive atleast once a week, that's fine.. I...

    Horsepower vs. Torque?

    hmmmmm, yes the S2000 has less torque than any Modular V8 Mustang at the flywheel, but where it counts it does have more(at the rear wheels) since the tranny and rearend gearing convert the F20C1's low torque and high rpm into high torque and low rpm.. I also don't see any 96-98 GT...

    Horsepower vs. Torque?

    since HP is a measurement taken from RPM and Torque, it will ALWAYS cross on a dyno at 5250 rpm..

    Is this possible? IRS swap

    just buy a 99+ Cobra and call it good.. it already has everything that your thinking about doing, from the factory.. or if you want the supercharger, get the 03+ one..

    cobra pistons in a 2v?

    the rods on the 03+ Cobra are Manley Forged H beam rods, rated for 700+ hp, the pistons are similar to the 99+ Lightning in that they are forged aluminum 8.5:1 compresson stock rods/aftermarket I beam rods/stock 03 cobra or aftermarket H beam rods

    What is "Hand built with pride"

    for the 96-01 model year, the Cobra shortblock was delivered to the Niche line already assembled.. starting on the 03 Model Year, the entire engine is hand assembled, including the short block..
