    looking at a 99 cobra

    There were three recalls, the power increase, a rear end bearing,.. and something else that escapes me at the moment. To find out if the car in question has the fixes, call 800-SVT-FORD and give them the VIN. Also, make sure the transmission is in good shape. The T45s in the 99's are more...

    Looking for the Perfect 98Cobra

    www.autotrader.com is a great resource for ya. I frequented it almost daily while I was looking for my 99. One thing to keep in mind is that for a 98 with 50K miles on it, 15 grand would be waay too much to pay. Be sure to check out www.kbb.com and lookup both private party, and retail values...

    IRS Clunking???

    I have this same kinda deal with my 99. At first, I thought some guy left a wrench in my vert top. It sounded like a little socket wrnech rattling against glass, or steel. You'd only hear it over sizeable bumps and such.. I've looked all over the back end of the car but I cant find a thing loose...

    looking at a 99 cobra

    99's are my favorite year cobra. I would buy it, just make sure it's had all the fixes done to it, and it hasnt been molested. Enjoy it.

    Trading cars

    Yeah I agree on that. I just picked up my 99 less than 48 hours ago [19k on the odo] and I LOVE IT!!! Just drive a Cobra once- you'll be hooked for life.

    "The Fix" = ....? [HELP!]

    Hey guys, do any of you have a link, or know off-hand, what all was replaced/changed during the major fix for '99 SVT's? I'm talking about the horsepower fix, I know they tossed in some 40 series flows, and acid-honed the intake manifold.. was there anything else? I seem to recall there was, but...

    Finally Got My Dream Car

    Congrats man!! Enjoy your scooter- First mod would be either a shifter, or a cat back! Magnapacks or 40 series Flows are great!

    Deal of the Century???

    I agree- I think the reason the car is selling for so low is that they are trying to get some chump to bite at it on a impulse, so they don't have to fix all the busted stuff with it. Stay away from it man ;) Wait it out a few months and pick up a sweet 03 after the 05's hit the stores

    ran out of gas car won't start??

    have you tried floring it for a few seconds, with the ignition on, to pump more gas through your lines? You drained 'em empty when you ran 'er dry.

    Bad Stang day

    I agree with everything said sofar. If you're willing to spend an hour or so combing your local Yellow pages for trans shops, you can easily save a grand over what the freaking dealer charges. Never take the dealer cost estimate as verbatim. Dealers are allwasy the MOST expensive way to get it...

    Dallas Mustang, your experience?

    Dang right! I am SHOCKED that idiot said that to you! It only fits along 100% with the crap I've heard about those guys. My advice would be to never call them back again, lol. Forget they even exist.

    What mod should I get?

    I agree- a shifter is THE FIRST mod anyone should make to their stangs. It makes such a huge difference- it doesnt even feel like the same car afterwards. GET ONE!! hehe Pro 5.0 or Tri Ax, you can't go wrong with either!

    T-5 WORK WITH 4.6?????

    AFAIK, I think they used T5's on the early 4.6 GT's. Like from 96-98.. I could be wrong though. I would prefer the T5 or T45 over the T3650 anyday though

    FRPP or Motive for 4.10s???

    for only 20 bucks more you'd be bonkers to NOT get official FRPP parts.

    killing cobras myself!

    Nice job- hope it wasnt on a public road ;) Anyway, the biggest gain was prolly from your gears. I think if the 4v had gears as well it mighta been different. Suprising to see how much a difference just gear ratios can make. Lets see some pics :)

    My new painted interior with Carbon Fiber!!!

    Hey that actually looks good- I hate it when ppl paint the entire interior- looks like crap, but i like how you painted only certain trim peices, then set it off with bona fide CF. Looks good man. Paint them needlez red tho :)
