    97 Cobra - Leather Dye flaking off on Drivers seat- how to fix?

    I don't know what it is, but Ford (or their subcontractor) is/was using some cheap products apparently. I had the same problem with my 01 with just 10,000 mile on the clock. My wear was on the driver side, left side bolster on the actual seat back (high wear area). Since mine is still under...

    Just purchased 97 SVT Cobra, have questions

    I want to think that 97 was the first year that the spoiler was an option on Cobra. Most would probably have been ordered with the spoiler, so yours is unique in that regards. Rio Red is also sort of a rare color for the SN-95 4.6L Cobra bodystyle. As far as the cooling issues...I'll admit I...

    Fed Up!!!

    Navigator has the 5.4 DOHC. Aviator has the 4.6 DOHC. Both have been produced in a Mustang verson. The 5.4 in the 00 Cobra R and the 4.6 in the Mach 1. Yeah, you're right about the next Cobra. Ford will likely step up to something extra special to combat the C6 Corvette...especially with...

    Fed Up!!!

    Just so the next time you write a check, its 40 = FORTY and not FOURTY. No sense in giving the people at the bank something to chuckle over. I would guess its from eating all that junkfood out of service center's vending machines. Eating that stuff on a constant basis will make one fat.

    What do you guys think of these 20 inch rims/tire combo??

    IMO 20s look great on some trucks, but very few cars look good with such a large rim. The only car I've seen that looked good with a large rim is the Prowler which had 19 inch stock rear rims (I think) and something like 17s on the front. My truck has 20s and blends well with the size, but I...

    Fed Up!!!

    But here's the thing...its beginning to be a more popular rumor that the next Cobra will not use a 4.6L engine. It is said to possibly be a 5.4 DOHC, maybe even using a blower. As far as the 4.6 DOHC...its not really known of its future fate. Up till now, its been justifiable to continue in...

    Fed Up!!!

    There are jerks that drive any and everything, which includes a fair share of Cobra owners as well. The Mach 1 guys have what is to be likely the final version of the 4.6 DOHC V8 and its obviously been improved upon. I don't have any problems myself acknowledging that fact. However, the n/a...

    Fake snake?

    You're right, although they are suppose to face forwards by what I've seen. Little oddities do pop up on occasion. Just like I remember seeing a photo of where some guy with a 01 Cobra somehow got a Bullitt specific C-pillar cover on the passenger side while getting the regular C-pillar cover...

    Fake snake?

    Some of this can get confusing unless you know your Cobras really well. The 94/95 Cobras had the same hood that the V6 and GTs got, however it had the Cobra specific front end that carried over until 98. The 96-98 hood had two snorkel type scoops on the hood. As far as the spoiler, here is...

    Fake snake?

    Only the 1993 Cobra had a rear facing Cobra logo on the fender on the driver side. From 94-up, they were both front facing. Your description sounds as if it could have been authentic or a fake. With an SVT badge on the back and "MUSTANG" embossed in the rear bumper, it could have been a 95...

    94 Cobra Differences

    No changes were made mid year in 94 and the 95 was nearly identical to the 94 except for the "SVT" badge addition on the trunk in 95. The wing should have the turndowns on each end with the LED third brake light mounted in the spoiler and absent on the trunk lid. This is a Cobra specific for...

    Advice please, Cobra or ?

    Good choice. Nice to know that you were able to get such a nice car. Did you get a good deal?

    Advice please, Cobra or ?

    I think if I were in your position, I'd consider either that 98 Cobra you've looked at (depending on its condition according to you) or maybe look for a 2001 Mustang Bullitt. They are rare, very muscular and not at all whimpish IMO. Since you've mentioned a Ram, have you also considered one of...

    Speeding ticket in NC

    Just for the sake of mentioning it, the I-95 corridor through Cumberland County is a State Trooper's dream. That portion of I-95 seems long and slow as you pass numerous exits for Fayetteville. It just seems like it takes forever to get past Fayetteville. The medians are mostly wide and grassy...

    What did you drive before/besides your present car?

    The Cobra is my toy and my Ram w/ Hemi is my daily driver. I've had the Cobra going on three years and its still has less than 14,000 miles on it. Truthfully, I love driving them both and there are some days I'll want to drive the Cobra and (believe it or not) some days I prefer to drive the...

    I need a good radar detector

    The only thing about the Escorts are that you still don't get the same rear sensitivity (without the rear antenna) and the arrows. I wouldn't dispute the fact that Escort can match or even slightly edge out (for the time being) the Valentine, but the Escorts just can't offer those features that...

    I need a good radar detector

    Arrows that point out up to 9 different radar sources and sensitivity to the rear that equals frontal sensitivity. I can see no reason not to pony up a bit extra for the Valentine and have the extra peace of mind.
