    C&L Performance cold air/MAF/intake testing on '05 GT

    unreal gains - I guess this erases any doubt if the 3v's will respond well to mods. :nice:

    2 good 2 be true?

    I've seen this several times now from scammers. They tried it on me 3 times on Autotrader - reported the ads to customer service and had them removed. I had the quiet satisfaction of knowing their investment in the ad went down the drain. The FBI's also got an on-line complaint department...

    Car and Driver Review- 05 Stang vs. 05 GTO

    "Since the GTO requires 92 octane premium gas, it nees to get 10% better gas mileage just to have the same fuel cost as the Mustang. And premium gas takes more crude oil to manufacture." This can't be correct. So the GTO won't be available in California where all we get is 91...

    Quick Question for you Cobra Owners

    here's a suggestion: take Finance 101 in college. You'll learn how to amortize a loan and figure out monthly payments based on present value, interest, and terms. If you finance $25K for 5 years and get 7% APR you're looking at $495/mo. That's assuming you have decent credit - most 18 yr...

    What's that noise?!?!?

    I've had the intake on for about 5K miles and it was a decidedly louder and harsher sound this morning. I was concerned enough to pull a U-turn and put it right back in the garage. Damn, I hate being at work and stewing over this all day.............

    What's that noise?!?!?

    Only engine mod is a MAC CAI fenderwell. Since installing it, I've heard only the hissing noise of air under throttle (which I read is normal). This morning there was a very loud "crackling" as RPMs rose. The best I can describe it is a fuzz/snow channel on TV. The noise seemed to be coming...

    Back Seat squeaks

    I have various creaks coming from the back seat and an annoying sound coming from the leather on the right side of the passenger seat rubbing against the door panel (fixed only if the passenger seat is slid all the way back). I chalk it up to interior build quality. I usually open the windows...

    17x10.5"

    I thought about a 17 x 10.5 rear for my '01. Was told there was a bolt that needed to be replaced/smoothed to avoid clearance problems. 17 x 9 will be fine up front.

    '03-'04 Cobra vs. Vipers

    Pretty sure the GTS would edge a stock Cobra in a straight line. GTS: 450hp @ 5200 rpm, 0-60 in 4.4, 1/4 in 12.8. Cobra: 0-60 in 4.7, 1/4 in 13.1. A few easy mods and the Cobra wins hands down. The 500hp 2004 Viper is a whole nother animal....

    whats the spring rate for the Eibach pro kit springs

    I think the rear is wrong. Look at the difference between H&R race for IRS and non-IRS. Sorry. Front should be right though. From my experience the ride quality is pretty similar to stock. Stays a bit flatter in the corners as the springs stiffen up.

    whats the spring rate for the Eibach pro kit springs

    Per the following link: http://www.gatineaumustang.com/FTspringrates.htm Front: 460-570 Rear: 200-250 I may be incorrect assuming it's for the IRS application.

    '01 Cobra Wheels

    why don't you throw it on the trader section and see what you can get. that's what I did with a couple of my things vs. trying to steal free advertising. I vote this thread gets deleted.

    What size tires for 18x8.5 and 18x9.5?

    you could go 245/40, 265/35 or 275/35 up front and 275/35, 285/35, 295/35 out back. maybe even 315/30.

    Is Trading Up The Right Thing To Do?

    I say pocket the profit on the v6 and use it to pimp out your dorm room. I wish I had an extra 20K when I was going through school - would've come in handy........beer, women, cd's, maybe a couple of books. what the hell do I know - you'll probably get more tail with a Cobra

    93 Cobra owners did you finance your car from a dealer?

    Try Capital One Auto finance on-line. http://www.capitaloneautofinance.com/Public/Home/Default.aspx Minimum amount they finance is $7,500. They'll give you an answer within 24 hours. I recently financed an '01 Cobra through them for 80% of the vehicle's sale price and it was pretty painless...

    Larger tires.................

    I'm pretty sure the widest you could go on a 9.5" rim is 285. 285/35's would be fine. Someone correct me if you know otherwise. You could always have the rears widened to 10.5" and step up to a 315/30.... :D
