    GT 5.0 vs. V-6 w/Performance Package - cost vs. benefit?

    You're basically asking us what your own personal preference is, and only you know that. It seems that you value fuel economy in a sporty package and don't really have a need for 400+ hp. Get the V6, nobody will fault you or think less of you. If you want an extra 100hp for $5k, then that's...

    New 6spd shifter on the market

    Should be getting my Barton shifter tomorrow. 40% reduction in throw and has a double pivot which is supposed to keep the side to side movement about the same while decreasing the front/back throw significantly. From what I've read from some other people, its about perfect. I will post when...

    2010 GT Fuel Tank Punctured

    That sucks but hooray for insurance! Same thing happened to me a few years ago with my '95, except it was just a random piece of metal in the road that I didn't see until it was too late. Put a 7" gash in the fuel tank and sprayed a full tank of 93 octane all over the interstate in the middle...

    GOOD NEWS: Steeda Control Arms are ON!

    Shame all that is under the car, looks awesome. I'd like to do control arms in the near future, but am unsure if I want to go the spherical bearing route or not. I'm not real fussy about NVH, but I installed an adjustable panhard bar with rod ends and the clunking is a little annoying at...

    2011 Boss 302 Intake

    I would do it. If I'm not mistaken, with that intake and a tune, you basically have yourself the Boss 302 engine.

    2011 GT Mustang parts, need help!

    Like others have said for your basic mods, exhaust and intake are different. You can intall springs, shocks/struts, caster camber plates for an 05-10, but you need the rubber isolator piece from an 05-10 strut mount. When I did mine I didn't know that and needed to go to a ford garage to buy...

    Cobra rear brake question

    On my '93 Cobra, I want to upgrade to the later model cobra rear brakes. Currently, it still has the stock varga calipers and has a 5 lug upgrade. I just want to know what all I need to upgrade. I don't imagine the brackets I have on there now will work, so I'd have to probably get a set...

    List of 03/04 Cobra parts to scavenge for upgrades

    Heck, might as well swap over the whole IRS assembly if you are into corner carving. Although you can make that solid axle perform admirably, if the IRS is free, why not? Otherwise, you could probably find a willing buyer for it. Mind if I ask how you came to be in possession of a...

    It's true, our cars are heavy!

    Ok, so verts are a little heavy. That's why you got those 414 cubic inches of Ford fury to motivate that heavy beast to move, right? So is this +300 lbs thing just for verts or the hardtops too like mine?

    Might want to check this out...

    Ok, here's what was originally on there before somebody fixed it. Debuting in early 2002, the 2003 Cobra came with a supercharged 4.6 L DOHC engine rated at 350 hp (291 kW) and 355 ft•lbf (529 N•m) of torque. It was later determined that Ford had not underrated the Cobra, as actual output...

    Might want to check this out...

    I know I dont' post here, but thought somebody might want to check out the hp and tq numbers on the Ford Mustang SVT Cobra Wikipedia page for the 03 Cobra... Ford Mustang SVT Cobra - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (I posted this in svt talk also, but doesn't look like that gets much traffic)

    Do I need a Panhard Bar??

    I say get a decent set of aftermarket control arms, as well as replacing the uppers. I know that Maximum Motorsport LCAs are pretty legit, but others would probably do the job well also at less cost. Although I'm no suspension expert, I don't think the lack of a panhard bar is your problem.

    Headers for GT 40 heads?

    I don't think regular GT40 heads need special headers. I have some regular longtubes for a fox body on my '93 Cobra, which has the iron GT40 heads.

    problem & engine pics

    I ran into the same problem with my setup, I just ground down that egr flange until it fit. I actually had to grind into the bolt hole but it still works. This method may not be as pretty though...

    The story of this past month in my life...

    Damn, its sad to see your car like that, but glad to see you're ok. Your car was actually the inspiration for my buddy's '97 cobra. Hope you get it back soon.

    tick/rattle on cold start

    It could be a lifter that's ticking until it gets oil pressure.
