    Gear Option from the Factory?

    I think I might stay away from this one. There is another one for sale that i can get for $10 more- 260. unless somebody comes in and says that 3.55 was defintely an option.

    93 Cobra Rear End Install

    Im going to pick up a 93 Cobra Rear with 3.73s sometime next week. What will need to be done for the install? I've heard about the e-brake, proportioning valve, and something about a wheel offset. All help appreciated.

    Wrecked, lucky to be alive

    Actually, mom is not that mad. She is happy that I am alive. She called me tonight and told me that somebody that graduated a year before me (05) died in a car wreck and that she was glad that she was not having to go to my funeral. Just hearing those words come out of her mouth put the fear of...

    Wrecked, lucky to be alive

    Sorry for being a smart ass but its just that everything is taking its toll on me. Everybody telling me what should have happened and that I'm a jackass and that I'll wreck again in two weeks by flipping my car and running into trees has really got to me. This whole experience has really opened...

    I would stay away from underdrives. They will make your car run hotter and it will be a lot harder on the alternator, unless you want to leave the regular pulley on the alternator. The best bang for the buck will be an x-pipe. Then go for a shifter. But its your car and you do what you want. My .02

    Wrecked, lucky to be alive

    I've already got a 5.0 if you have not already noticed by my sig and name. So you talk about how great of a driver you are and this and that, but I read the part where you done the exact same thing on a back road when you was younger. But your talent and angel saved you. It was just pure luck...

    No. I drove a friends 04 GT Coupe down the same road at about the same speed. The GT was not that much different handling wise than moms 99 v6 vert. The GT definitely had more power, but handling was about the same.

    This was not a corner, it was more of a long curve. Again, it was just one bad tire. The front two and the back left were in good shape. The tires had just been put on there about five months ago when her car was totaled, because of a mail woman running a stop sign sending her car down in the...
