    My Cobra is Sick. Please help!

    Thanks, I will be making a trip over to the dealership to talk to them in person. I want them to show me what exactly they are doing and explain it to me. Im not one of those sucker's who will pay anything to get my car running again. Anybody have any suggestions as to what it might be? I was...

    My Cobra is Sick. Please help!

    No black smoke. When you say read the plugs, you mean spark plugs right? Cause that's what the dealership said they were gonna pull out first. So they should have hooked it up to a computer? Those baztards.

    rim question - whats your opinion?

    Fake Chrome Cobra Rs? Go for it, but you'll see them everywhere. If you wanna fit in, you will. If you wanna stand apart from the average joe, wrong rims.

    5w-20 or 5w-30 for 2002 GT?

    I use Mobil 1 synth 15W50. I read on the back of the Mobil 1 bottles that it is recommended for Muscle car applications, turbo'd and supercharged cars. Seems like you guys run real thin oil. Should I be running this heavy of oil?

    I need a Cobra...what's my blown GT worth?

    I am with Jackie Chan for shure. Put most of the stock parts back in it, and sell the aftermarket stuff separate. The car isnt worth as much as you put into it like that. You obviously invested a ton of cash into that thing and you are lucky to get 13 grand for it.

    Is my car performing right?

    If you are going less than 75 in 5th gear, I would say downshift to 3rd. Third will run out pretty quick, so go to 4th right after, then 5th. Never race in 5th because you will always lose (unless its some Kia Rio or something). Hope this helps and welcome to the wonderful world of standard...

    results are in: my 03 gt vert vs. 350z ...

    Also you might wanna remind him how much he spent on the car and how much he is going to spend on repairs. That's my main thing. Nothing beats hp per dollar on Mustang.

    SVO Intake

    Ive heard its not as big of a gain as the PI swap, so most people do the PI swap for about the same or less money. Unless he's giving it to you for free or a really good price, that would be the only way its worth it IMO.

    What kind of tranny fluid??

    So is it as easy as draining it and refilling it? No special process or tricks involved? Oh and of course Im going the synth route. Does Mobil1 make a synth tranny fluid?

    What kind of tranny fluid??

    I am going to change the fluids in my T45 today and I wanted to know which grade and weight of fluid should I use. Is it just like changing the oil? Drain and refill?

    What exhaust is this?

    Could be O/R H and Magnaflow Magnapacks :shrug: Im rockin that right now on my Pacific Green Cobra, and at WOT going under an overpass it pierces my ears. Pretty Mellow at idle with a deep grumble. Almost sounds like I have cams even though I dont. But ya, unless I hear it or you verify it...

    more hp with pi head swap than just stock pi's

    This is very true. It raises the compression so it's not recommended you add a supercharger, turbo ,or nitrous. You are almost guaranteed to blow the motor. I've heard tons of instances on here as well as seen real-life instances.

    Is this car legit?...

    Wow, guess I got told. That's weird that they would change mid-year. I better be more careful when I say things that I dont know 100% to be true. I have so much to learn and so little time. Anyway that car is a steal if it's legit. Maybe its been in an accident and they covered it well. I find...

    New Cobra gets smoked...

    Im with Dr. Wu, That car prolly had like 35 or 40 grand worth of mods. Fist of all I heard a Turbo and nitrous. And that was a huge turbo. No doubt that ricers can be fast, but it takes mucho dough. Id rather had 2 or 3 SN95 Cobras for what he payed for that silly ricer.

    Is this car legit?...

    The VIN is fishy. They started using FAFP in the 99+ Mustangs. the SN95 or 94-98 are FALP. Ive seen that Cobra before on Autotrader and wondered myself. too low miles and too many mods for that price. Something is up for shure. Take off the 6 grand for the high performance mods he says he has...

    Too many mods... Not enough results?

    Did you just run last Friday night? I see you are in Austin and I was wondering if you were at the San Antonio track Friday night. I was there too and a little disapointed with my times as well. I could only get my Pacific Green Cobra to go a 13.9, but it was my first time at the track ever. Ima...
