    Tired of Magazine articles?

    as usual, and same as the 03, most magazine's don't recognize "underated" if it bites them on the a$$. There have plenty of reports comming in that the tuners that are on the Ford GT project are gettin well over 500 hp to wheels... I've even seen 620hp thrown around. Another thing that...

    Question concerning wheel size & ground clearance

    well, there is a few factors. Bigger rims and same overall diameter = less sidewall. Less sidewall = stiffer ride and less "give which = harder to launch really hard and more tire spin off the line (due to sidewall not absorbing as much launch torque). Now, at the same time, the same train...

    Top Speed of 2001 Cobra

    I had a feeling you would show up here Naz :nice: a fellow club member here who owns a Cobra R is sick of tearing his front splitter (his R is lowered) and is having a mold of the front splitter made. Once the mold is mad, he can get the splitter made in Fiber glass, and/or Carbon Fiber...

    Top Speed of 2001 Cobra

    2001's need to be chipped to hit 150+ because of the electonic governor... as far as stability, it might be wise to throw on the 2000 Cobra R front splitter and rear wing to keep the car planted on the nose as well as the back... A few Cobra R owners hit 165mph easily on the front straight...

    Awesome mod, :nice: and yes it can be a pain... now some good dampening shocks and higher rate springs and your wheel hop should virtually be a thing of the past. Its amazing how much the IRS "moves" from side to side in hard turn with stock bushings... people have reported up to 2" of...

    Question concerning wheel size & ground clearance

    I have heard many different confusing theory's on how it works, but the way I "think" it is is... example: 245/45/17 245 is the width of the tire/tread/45 is the percentage of the tread that is the sidwall - for example multiply 245 by .45 and that is how tall the sidewall is/ and 17 is the...

    Question concerning wheel size & ground clearance

    you rim size does not matter as long as the overall diameter of the tire is the same. If you change the overall diameter, then your speedo will be off..

    04 Cobra or 04 GTO?

    I'll have to agree that the GTO was quite dissapointing in that what it could have been made in to. To me it just seems that they are disrespecting the name and tradition in what you get. As far as which to get, Cobra hands down. Cobra owners are usually friendly, so find a 03 owner in...
