    End of Cobra Mustangs

    Thats funny, the "Ford Insider" I have ran into said that nothing is set in stone yet. That’s why I'm not going to jump to conclusions as to what’s going to happen. Here is what I will say. According to my source, up until now Colletti has had it easy, he would come up with an SVT idea, and...

    Chip Gains

    Unless you have mods done to the car, especially one that affect the intake side...a chip is a waste of money IMO. If you are planning on moddnig the car, it should be your last mod, as to keep from having to reflash it. Don't get it unless you need other parameters set, new gears, top speed...

    Whats quicker? Mach1/2001 Cobra

    Angus, nice #'s one thing to note however, is that even though your Mach 1 makes more peak tq..compare the curve of the tq between the two from 5k-7 rpm.... the moded 01 has an advantage on the #'s one thing that is funny is, noone ever said the Mach1 is slower than the 01 in the 1/4, only...

    maclongtubeheader question ehat do you think

    :( MAC :nonono: well, there are two thoughts, one is that the header scavange so well that they cause oil cosumption by sucking oil into the cylinders.. (not likely IMO) the second is that MAC's doesn't clean the slag after welding so the weld slag gets sucked throw the egr back into...

    2001 Cobra? New Mach 1?

    We weren't born Cobra owners.... there wouldn't be a SVT cobra for 10 years if it didn't have prestige with the general Public. This seems like some complex where you need to get acknowlegment from 01 Cobra owners for some reason. The Cobra moniker has its own appeal. The snake is a...

    03 Cobra Wheel Hop...?

    Qa1 are alright. If I remember right, they are somewhere between 130-160 each. You defintely need some good shocks... preferebly adjustables.

    03 Cobra Wheel Hop...?

    First off is this a vert? If so your stock shocks are horrible, and don't dampen worth a flip. A coupe is slightly better, but stick not enough dampening for that much power. Also, are the Eibachs progressive rate? IRS bushing would also be a plus, but by the sounds of it, you have too...

    Whats quicker? Mach1/2001 Cobra

    :nonono: This has got to be one of the most ignorant post I have seen in a while.. The magazine you are referring to, is 5.0 Mustang. It was a non-stock 99 Cobra, and it put down horrible numbers. The magazine even admitted that the put down horrible numbers after a bunch 01 Cobra guys...

    Poll: 01 Cobra or 03 Cobra Top Choice

    I dont think its that they couldn't figure out a way to put the Aluminum block in the 03, I just think it wasn't financially feasable. I think its that they had too choices, 1) aluminum block with cheap internals 2) iron block with bullitproof internals. Seeing as how the aluminum block is...

    2001 cobra - which exhaust??

    Fr500 sounds smoother and not as throaty as stock. Its as quiet or quieter than stock at idle, with some burbling to it. However, at WOT, it screems and is much nicer and louder than stock. One thing to note about the fr500, after about 1-1 1/2 years of having on the car, I noticed that the...
