    To drift or not to drift

    Meat!! don't look at drifting as ghey (your spelling!) look at it as another way to toast rice burners!! Seriously, drifting is an up an coming sport and it takes a hell of a driver to get right. Add the power and drift away!!

    Bumper imprint on my rear bumper now - should i pursue this?

    Dude, WTF? You have a car that was limited production, no longer produced and may be going up in value (this is debateable, but if you put in a garage for 30 years it might be like a 67 gt 350/500!!) get it fixed!!!!

    What should I buy?

    Yep, 5k for an older fox, 5k for a blower and 4k in tires suspension etc and you will have a 10 sec car the will take on any street corvette and all but the fastest street/track camaros.

    whipple charger?

    Whipple's can add awesome power, but the blower is only the start, new injectors, tune for sure and new clutch etc. My shop is Excessive Motorsports in Manassas, VA, I was there 2-3 weeks ago and an 04' Terminator put down 651RWHP and 640 RWTQ with a new whipple, long tubes etc. This is...

    new numbers on 03 cobra

    Get the tune, mine is at 452 RWHP and 479 RWTQ with a 2.9, but a good tune. I would have to guess that the 2.8 will get you to over 460 RWHP.

    03 cobra boost info needed!

    All of the above are correct. I made 452 RWHP and 479 RWTQ with a Reichard 2.9 pulley, all mods are in my signature.

    Thanks for the reply's. Is the consensus that there should be absolutely no wheels spin at launch?

    Don't know where you are, but post a thread telling us where you are located and I am sure you will get a referral. Be sure to tell us which year and model car you have.

    sct?

    You may get something out of tuning a stock set up, but look at it this way if you add a good CAI (cold air induction kit) and a tune you might get 20 RWHP, if you do the CAI and a pulley with a tune you might get 60-80 RWHP, my 03 Cobra went from 367 RWHP to 452 RWHP with CAI, 2.9 Reichard...

    sct?

    SCT is a flash programmer or piggy back chip that can be custom tuned to support modifications to your PCM (powertrain control module read: computer) Mustangs can be tuned with a number of "chips" SCT and the Diablo Predator are the two most common.

    Help with 1/4 mile times

    Ok, try not to laught, but my first time and I ran 12.013 @ 116.85, but my 60 ft time was 2.134!! 0 wheel spin, but the 60 obviously sucks, how should I launch? I had the rpm at around 3k, but I think I must have slipped the clutch too much. Let me know what you think.

    06 or 03 Cobra?

    Meat, the depreciation is certainly not like other Fords (or domestics in general), but my 03' was 27k with 20k miles with a sticker of 35k (convertable), and new GTs convertables are in the 33-35k (MSRP) range, so 8k under sticker for a car that kills an 05' 06'. Not to mention that the...

    MY NEW 03' DYNOED STOCK 362HP

    Get it professionally tuned. None of the off the shelf tunes can ensure the fuel/air is correct as each car is different. I have put very little money in to my car and have power numbers that are up there with people who have spent a few thousand more, but tried to save on the tune. The story...

    MY NEW 03' DYNOED STOCK 362HP

    Might as well go for the pulley and the tune, otherwise you'll be tuning it now for the CAI and the exhaust, and again when you do the pulley.

    2003 Cobra Vert FL Manuf Buyback Title?

    If you will be buying this from a ford dealership see if they will put it under the certified pre owned program. If so the car will come with a 7/70000 warranty on drivetrain, plus I think you can get something like 4.9% financing with ford credit.

    06 or 03 Cobra?

    Been a couple of days and no one has weighed in with any 06 benefits. So here is another 03 benefit. 03 has seen a lot of depreciation, 06 has seen none. If you really want an 06, it probably means that you REALLY want the Shelby!!, why not get the 03, have fun for a year or two and then see...

    all ford dealers selling at $20,000 over msrp

    Look, guys, if you really want one these (gt500) you will recognize that dealers will charge what they want. I am in Northern Virginia and my local dealer is asking 2XMSRP!! why? Beacause they sell more Fords than all but 2 or 3 dealers in the world, and they have 50 of us wanting to buy the...

    Dealer markups against the law

    I'd be willing to bet that, if you are correct, virtually no Canadian dealers will get GT500's for sale in year 1. In the US we have the freedom of speach, freedom to bear arms and the freedom to charge what we want for a product. All this coupled with freedom from universal health care and...
