    2001 Cobra colors

    The 6 CD changer was definitely available for 01, but I'm not for certain if it was optional or standard. I'm guessing it was standard thinking back to the window sticker. BTW, what color are you looking for?

    Whats with people thinking the 96-98 Cobras come Factory Supercharged??

    I'd love to go to a car lot looking for a Cobra and have a saleman tell me it has a supercharger when it clearly doesn't. I'd tell them I'd buy it if they would put it in writing that this car is suppose to have a supercharger.

    1993 cobra.....Should I buy it!!!!!

    I agree with everything except the 93 Cobra only came in a hatchback. I can not imagine hardly any Mustang or even more specific, Cobra enthusiasts not wanting a 03 Cobra. My first Mustang was a 90 GT, so I have always appreciated the Fox Mustangs, especially those kept in pristine condition...

    Whats quicker? Mach1/2001 Cobra

    Look at this quote... This post came out of a thread in the Special Production:Mach 1 forum and he's even dissing on a fellow Mach 1 owner because the new owner has pride in his Mach. Its no wonder of the quality of posts we are seeing over here. BTW, SVOKING I noticed that you hardly...

    2001 Cobra? New Mach 1?

    I don't see any need to get argumentative about the subject, but why shouldn't Cobra owners have pride in their cars? It sounds like to me that 01 Cobra owners are suppose to have some kind of remorse for not trading for a Mach, judging by some attitudes. Certainly, from my own experience...

    2001 Cobra? New Mach 1?

    What happens if or when a 05/ 06 GT blows by your Mach 1? It could very well happen. Then its welcome to yesteryear as that new GT does everything yours could do (and perhaps more) and gets all the press while doing it. You see, you have to look past the performance and be able to find...

    2001 Cobra? New Mach 1?

    The Mach's engine is underrated. The 99/01 Cobras should make the appropriate power levels as advertised (320hp). The Mach's is probably more like 330 at the flywheel as opposed to the advertised 305hp. The shaker scoop is going to be mostly for looks. Whatever little advantage there is in...

    Merry Christmas to you and yours. :)

    04 Cobra or 04 GTO?

    For me, its just the profile of the car that I don't like. Its mainly all that sheetmetal in the rear quarter panel. There's just too much of it over the rear wheels and the side window treatment makes the windows seem too large. Other than that, its not that bad-looking. Driving-wise...

    SHOs part of SVT?

    You apparently mistook my post in a negative light there, OGC. It was just a relative remark made to indicate that a few bucks buys anybody a badge supposedly regarded for limited production specialty vehicles. So, my comment really wasn't even directed at you personally. The second paragraph...

    SHOs part of SVT?

    ...Or anybody with $12 bucks in their pocket. I've seen a few GTs with SVT badging and more than my share of previous Thunderbird coupes with Cobra badges. :rolleyes: That said, I often thought Ford should've done a SVT Taurus after the V8 SHO floundered. Why they didn't just drop in the...

    Poll: 01 Cobra or 03 Cobra Top Choice

    It comes down to money and compromises. Of course, the 03 is the champ as far as power and handling. Its not quite as rare as previous Cobra models, but it is probably the best Mustang produced to date. Its heavy, but the car appears to make up for it. The 2001 Cobra gives you all of...

    Poll: 01 Cobra or 03 Cobra Top Choice

    I'd imagine that the 01 with the same suspension components could very well be a better handler than the 03 Cobra. By the documented numbers out there, its already pretty close. I've never ridden in a 03, but I can speak of my satisfaction with the 01 Cobra. Its is an outstanding daily driver...

    Poll: 01 Cobra or 03 Cobra Top Choice

    Also, the switch to an iron block from aluminum adds to the weight and that equates to about 200+lbs total over the 01. That said, I'd agree that if money isn't a concern I'd go with the 03. The 01 is plenty fun, but you get so much more with the 03. I'd bet that the 01 would probably make...

    94 cobra how fast?

    No strip experience with it, but my old 95 Cobra had longtubes, hi-flow cats, Dynomax Super Turbos, K&N filter and a 70mm TB but with the stock 3.08s. There was this guy in 6 speed 95 LT1 Corvette that used to hound me anytime he saw me. He'd always seem to edge me out, but the exhaust...

    Questions about the SVT Cobra

    The abbreviated version: 96-98 is the same curvy bodystyle as the 94-95 5.0 models, but with minor cosmetic changes and the 305hp rated 4.6 DOHC V8. 99 and 01 models are the edgy 320hp version. Keep in mind that 99 and 01 models have the IRS suspension. In my opinion, the 2001 is the...

    Tired of Magazine articles?

    Yeah, I saw it, but I can't see comparing this Cobra to the others as it wasn't tested with its original engine. I believe it was a remanufactured engine. Another Motor Trend article that was flawed was the red 02 Camaro SS vs. the yellow 01 Cobra. Motor Trend tested the 01 Cobra with the...

    2001 Cobra Common Problems?

    My car has been a real champ...except on the hottest days of the year, I will get some light pinging under throttle and this is a sporadic problem reported on a few 01 Cobras. There is a minor fix for it through the dealer, but I've heard that the only thing they do is tune the timing and it...

    99 Cobra VS 2001 Cobra

    My tranny is still doing fine after 2 years of driving, but there certainly seem to be quite a few complaints about the 3650.

    Tired of Magazine articles?

    Sometimes the mainstream mags luck up a give a good review. Car & Driver's 2001 Cobra immediately comes to mind, because as much as they have complained about the Mustang over the years, they admitted they couldn't find much fault with its performance nor its driving characteristics. Actually...
